It's pretty popular with GrapheneOS users because on GrapheneOS, you can install any app entirely without network permission, or disable the permission afterwards. It might be my favorite feature of GrapheneOS.

I personally use Lawnchair, and while I really like it, it has one big flaw - app drawer folders. It does have them, but you have to create and manage them in settings and it's really slow and annoying. I have around 260 apps, and sorting them this way would be almost impossible.

I was looking into other launchers, including Nova, but then I found JINA. It's an app drawer, not a launcher, and it has tons of features - nested folders, tags, filters... No in-app purchases or ads, even though it's not FOSS. It's ugly, but exactly what I needed.

And now the best part: Lawnchair has an option to open an app on the swipe up gesture instead of opening the drawer. That way I replaced it's drawer with JINA without switching to another launcher like Nova.

The main problem I see is that earth is not infinite. You have finite resources that are "owned by everyone" by their nature, and capitalism's competitivness incentivizes their destruction.

World's countries are allowing companies to destroy the climate, forests, and oceans. They (mostly) know it's bad, but if they stopped, they would fall behind. And it doesn't really matter whether the countries are capitalist inside or not - they are competing against each other.

I don't see why it would be different if instead of countries it would be companies competing. If you have two giant companies fishing in ocean, how would you convince one of them to fish less so it doesn't destroy the whole fish population? Any fish it doesn't catch is a gift for the competing company. And sure, two companies can make an agreement, but what if there are hundreds of them? You would think it's logical for all of them to agree on limits so they don't kill all the fish - that would be the end every single fishing company. But how is that different from what's happening with climate change right now?

I've seen a video where someone asked a Czech anarcho-capitalist how would the law in ancap work. He responded that the international law is an ancap law. You don't have a Global State enforcing law on the world's countries. They do whatever they want on their own property (land), and they form coalitions by free agreement to maintain peace and order and to deal with stuff like climate change.

Well, when I look at the world right now, I feel like that's the ultimate argument against ancap. We don't have anything resembling forever global peace, like some people belived after the cold war. The planet is getting warmer and warmer, despite all the global organizations and agreements. Competion is a competition. I don't really see a way out other than a global state or global anarchy - the leftist kind of one.

And I don't want to start on why I think a global state is a terrible idea - that's not what you asked - but I'm obviously for the latter.

I should rewatch Tenet. I think I liked it, and I see criticism all over the internet recently.

Dark skinned people don't need sunscreen, thus don't steal it, white people need it but white people don't steal. (not my opinion oc, for ppl reading this out of context)

If you mean state censorship then not really, as the opinions of those in power are usually not the majority. One example would be climate change: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/22/spiral-of-silence-climate-action-very-popular-why-dont-people-realise

Another example from Czechia where I live - polls show the majority of people support marriage for all (gay marriage) and euthanasia, but the political landscape renders both quite impossible to be allowed in the foreseeable future.

Chaotic aur to the rescue

 

You get to live a happy life and don't care about all the horrible things happening all across the world. You wouldn't feel terrible for children getting killed in a genocide half the globe away, every day. Blissful ignorance.

My response would be no. And I suppose most responses are gonna be no, but I also don't think anyone who already doesn't care would take a pill to start caring. That's an interesting concept to me.

I'm sure that what me caring does to my mental state is far worse than however good is anything it does to anyone else. But by that logic, if everyone stopped caring, how would the world look like?

EDIT: It's permanent. It doesn't take away your emotions, it just stops you from caring about things like wars as long as they don't directly affect you. Just like many people already have it.

Hi, I'm thinking about writing a media piracy tutorial for absolute beginners (think my mother - people who can use browsers and office but that's about it).

Does anybody know what's the legislation for that? I'm in the Czech Republic (EU), and the site is hosted on Codeberg pages (Germany). Nameservers for my domain are managed by CloudFlare (USA). So I'm curious about both EU and US laws.

If it's illegal, can I make it legal by not including any direct links, or stating some "educational purposes only" bullshit?

I feel like the internet is full of that stuff and even GitHub READMEs usually get away with "we don't condone piracy", but I also vaguely remember some lawsuit against redditors discussing piracy?

Thanks for advice.

 

I made this userscript to play multiple videos from pirate streaming sites in sync (play/pause them at the same time)

usecase: You want to watch dubbed version of a movie (most people here probably watch in english, but may have friends or family members who don't). You find dubbed version, but in poor quality. Finding high quality english version is easy. You play the english version muted in foreground, and the dubbed version with audio in the background. With this userscript, you can play or pause them at the same time.

Not sure if anyone else finds it useful, but it' super useful for me, so I figured I'll share it here.

I've written this blog post about moving from rooted Samsung to a Pixel running GrapheneOS. It's a list of every root tool that I used, with a note on whether I'll miss it. I wrote it as a checklist for myself initially, and decided to add links and more comments and publish it. Turns out I don't really need root, which truly surprised me.

Do you have any apps or tools that hold you back from leaving root?

 

Hi, I've been using Instander for some time, but even the early beta is outdated by now, and doesn't work correctly. Does anyone have any recommendations on good Instagram mods? I know about AeroInsta, Honista, MyInsta and few others, but not sure which are safe.

PS: please tell me if this isn't the right community for this question, I'm not sure but it seems like the best one PPS: I know precisely how bad instagram is, and I still want/need to use it, so please don't waste your time telling me that.

Not exactly as funny meme as I would like it to be, but I just found out about that feature after having to hold the power button due to a frozen system countless times, and I had to tell someone.

 

It's very much WIP.
