I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.

I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.

  • But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.

Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...

What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...

  • I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.

I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...

  • It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...

I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.

  • Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...

Hilfe zu #ebookreader mit besserer Startseite:
Ich suche jetzt schon eine Weile, und bevor ich einfach etwas nur auf Verdacht installiere, frage ich hier:
Meine Frau wünscht sich für einen älteren #Tolino eine bessere Startseite: mehr als nur Klick auf alle Bücher, evtl. Sammlungen, vllt. sowas wie beim Kobo. Es gibt #Launcher-Apps, um andere Reader-Apps zu starten. Aber kann ich das "Bücherregal" ändern? Am besten so, dass es direkt nach Start angezeigt wird? Nach welchen Apps suche ich da?

Google, could we get the ability to drag and drop icons and widgets to different home screen pages without it saying "no room on this home screen"? Think a little bit like how apple handles it - if you drag an icon or a widget to a filled up home screen, it just pushes the icons and widgets there to the next page over. Thank you.

Was ist denn ein Launcher, der flüssig läuft, ohne Tracking, nicht minimalistisch ist, aber auch nicht versucht wie EMUI (Huawei) oder Bliss Launcher (e-OS) iOS nachzubauen?

Letzteres ist von der Bedienung her gruselig.

Was auch echt nicht geht: Wirklich alle Apps auf dem Homescreen, die sich auch noch automatisch immer oben links anordnen.

Letzteres ist noch fieser.

Features: Widgets, keine automatischen zweiten Screens, Ordner.
Keine Suchleiste, keine extra Leiste am Boden, es sei denn sie kann Ordner aufnehmen.

argv minus one

I tried a couple of replacement app launchers on my #Android phone, like #Fossify #Launcher fossify.org from F-Droid.

But I have a problem: a few times a day, the home screen will freeze up! I have to force stop the launcher app to get it working again (which is tricky because I can't use the launcher to do it).

Doesn't happen with the stock Pixel Launcher, only third-party launchers.

Anybody got any ideas how to fix this?

An other issue with the #bliss #launcher is that upon resizing a widget, it floods the OS with request to update the widget view.

On older phones (tested on Samsung s5 aka klte), it blocks the phone for several minutes to handle all the flooded update requests.

#TinyWeatherForecastGermany

After some struggling, I managed to make all the four widgets also look acceptable with the #android #bliss #launcher , which is default on /e/OS.

Hope you folks using /e/OS appreciate that.

The point is that the #bliss #launcher is buggy and returns completely implausible widget sizes, on which one cannot rely when calculating the layout.

The #widgets will resize better on other launchers, but now they at least look acceptable with the #bliss #launcher.

Screenshot of three widgets of Tiny Weather Forecast Germany, like they appear in Bliss, the default /e/OS launcher. On top, the Weather and Time widget that displays currently "mostly cloudy" weather for "Hamburg-Mitte/Ost". In the lower part of this widget, you see the forecast for the next nine days (fog & rainy). Below this widget, there is a weather chart showing the temperature, clouds, probability of rain and the dew point. A small yellow area indicates a warning (frost) between Sunday and Monday. On the bottom, there is a widget with a forecast for today, Monday and Tuesday (cloudy, fog, fog). On the very bottom there is a button labeled "edit". The issue is that the bliss launcher reports incredibly large widget sizes, that roughly seem to reflect the aspect ratio of the widget, but are far larger than the screen size. With this bug, it is impossible to properly inflate the widgets with more information once a widget is made larger. On #bliss, the widgets now always display the same information, but scale better than before. Especially some font sizes are larger to improve readability. On other launchers like Trebuchet, the #lineageos default launcher, the widgets behave different and like expected: they do not simply scale, but add more and more information to the widgets as they get more space.
