Kvaesitso. It's a great search based launcher

DB0 is the goat

You could. It depends on whose narration you trust

I've been using Kvaesito lately and I absolutely love it.

It's search based, meaning you can have an extremely minimal appearence while having lots of customization options and extremely quick access to apps (and app features, most importantly).

I strongly recommend using it if you like efficiency

Many distros are better than ubuntu nowdays. PopOS happens to be one of those

Welcome!

Electric cars do not address any of the main issues cars bring to our society, which are:

• Pollution -- Cars are responsible for a significant amount of global and local pollution (microplastic waste, brake dust, embodiment emissions, tailpipe emissions, and noise pollution). Electric cars eliminate tailpipe emissions, but the other pollution-related problems largely remain.
• Infrastructure (Costs. An Unsustainable Pattern of Development) -- Cars create an unwanted economic burden on their communities. The infrastructure for cars is expensive to maintain and the maintenance burden for local communities is expected to increase with the adoption of more electric and (someday) fully self-driving cars. This is partly due to the increased weight of the vehicles and also the increased traffic of autonomous vehicles.
• Infrastructure (Land Usage & Induced Demand) -- Cities allocate a vast amount of space to cars. This is space that could be used more effectively for other things such as parks, schools, businesses, homes, and so on. We miss out on these things and are forced to pile on additional sprawl when we build vast parking lots and widen roads and highways. This creates part of what is called induced demand. This effect means that the more capacity for cars we add, the more cars we'll get, and then the more capacity we'll need to add.
• Independence and Community Access -- Cars are not accessible to everyone. Simply put, many people either can't drive or don't want to drive. Car-centric city planning is an obstacle for these groups, to name a few: children and teenagers, parents who must chauffeur children to and from all forms of childhood activities, people who can't afford a car, and many other people who are unable to drive. Imagine the challenge of giving up your car in the late stages of your life. In car-centric areas, you face a great loss of independence.
• Safety -- Cars are dangerous to both occupants and non-occupants, but especially the non-occupants. As time goes on cars admittedly become better at protecting the people inside them, but they remain hazardous to the people not inside them. For people walking, riding, or otherwise trying to exercise some form of car-free liberty cars are a constant threat. In car-centric areas, streets and roads are optimized to move cars fast and efficiently rather than protect other road users and pedestrians.
• Social Isolation -- A combination of the issues above produces the additional effect of social isolation. There are fewer opportunities for serendipitous interactions with other members of the public. Although there may be many people sharing the road with you (a public space), there are some obvious limitations to the quality of interaction one can have through metal, glass, and plastic boxes.

Eternity for lemmy is peak user experience imo

Lmaooo

Neo launcher

I see, thanks

Isn't it 9$ a month?

Privacy redirect has been discontinued for years, I strongly suggest using libredirect

Seems like rocksteady is not involved in this one. For better or worse

It is in fact a teaser trailer, it's meant to be vague and it's more of a "visual announcement" than a trailer

This is very useful actually, how did you get those?

Play store is preinstalled on billions of devices, F-Droid is only used by a bunch of (very based) nerds.

Google is most definitely not scared of F-Droid

Newpipe is in active development and just updated a few days ago, they just have a slow release schedule.

I use tubular and it's great, but Tubular itself is still subject to newpipe's release cycle.

Not sure why people started thinking newpipe is unmantained, this is the second time I hear it here on Lemmy

Absolutely agree. It's counterintuitive, but waking up earlier than you need to and start your day slowly actually makes you feel more rested and calm (provided you've still slept sufficiently)
