Even if your phone is “off” it’s transmitting an ID for antitheft purposes.

Faraday bags!

🤦

fuck amazon.

input depends on which continent or country you’re in(?)

i want another story where Jack has no place to go; in a world in which all states, one after the other, pass similar laws

i reluctantly started reading and i couldn’t stop. Well written. Thanks for taking the time to write this and share it too

i’m still on old lawnchair (legacy?) because it’s more customizable than the up to date lawnchair

i keep an eye on eblan einstein as a replacement for lawnchair ☞ https://f-droid.org/packages/com.eblan.launcher/

i also use drag on launcher because it’s genial ☞ https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/org.elnix.dragonlauncher

another question would be: Now that your government has a face and a name for that telephone you’re using, what other information can they get through boogle’s trackers and what are they using it for?

you can block trackers (i use netGuard) and the app will probably still work fine. Same with banking apps

they added widget support with the last update

Moreover, Trump introduced major tariff exceptions for some countries. For example, the integrated North American auto industry would have been devastated if he hadn’t decided on 6 March to exempt goods from Mexico and Canada from the 25% levy that had gone into effect two days earlier. Goods from these countries now face no penalty if they are imported under the US-Mexico-Canada agreement.

This softening was predictable. US business would have suffered enormously if Trump had fully implemented the tariffs he had announced, let alone threatened, so it was never likely that he would persist with the worst of them. Trump regularly stakes out extreme negotiating positions, only to back down when the heat is on, even if he hasn’t gotten what he demanded from the other side. In fact, investors’ assumption that “Trump always chickens out” – known as Taco – has become a taunt. But when a madman threatens Armageddon, it is foolhardy to goad him into following through. The tariffs Trump has implemented are still very high.

Why haven’t Trump’s tariffs crashed the US economy?

there was an update 2 days ago and now there’s an (appearance) option to “show all actions in current circle”

launcher became too unstable for me though. i’ll wait for the next update to work on it

similar, yes, but pie seems to work on one circle only.

yes, kando looks interesting indeed. Will give it a go

Automatically forwarding emails. You can let incoming emails be automatically forwarded to another address.

mailbox.org 👍

Filtering Emails by Using Rules

The email is moved to a specific email folder.
The email is forwarded to another email address.

👍👍

neither proton, nor tuta :\

would have been nice to be able to choose our own icons or arcticons :/

😅

all you see is a black screen (in dark mode) until you touch the screen and slide your fingers towards a direction (that you configured for the app of your choice.)

the length of the slide gives you more options. For example I touch anywhere on the screen and push my finger towards 1 o’clock and i can open droidify. If i slide further, i can open fDroid itself.

you can also use it like another app, instead of making it your default launcher, to try it out. Close it like any other app and you’re back on your habitual launcher.

ipv6 works fine

i also use wireguard with no problems

i use and used it on different phone brands and tablets too

🤷

i would say netGuard is “the best non-root firewall now”

but it’s been years since i stopped using rethink and i never needed to go back to it
