Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good

I see only this.

Once Cheeto-head got in charge again, nearly all those tech corpos took off the blinders and go off doing anything as they please.

I hate being hinted and asked to click on the link, so I save you a click:

It’s the end of an era: the founder and original developer of Nova Launcher — Kevin Barry — has stepped away from the development of the iconic custom launcher. This essentially marks the end of the road for the launcher, as it is unlikely to receive updates or new features. For years now, Nova Launcher has been the go-to launcher for power Android users, standing out for its plethora of customization options and features.

Now that Nova is in literal limbo, if not allegedly in the hands of some data miner, there should be talk about substitutes.

• This app may share these data types with third parties

Game devs really have to keep their CVs ready at anytime given how uncertain their jobs are.

Punchable face.

No, no, punchable is too nice. Something stronger.

Most marriages in India are heavily arranged. Misogynism is so horribly entrenched, what with reportages of abuses and death levied against women.

cognitive decline.

Another reason for refusing those so-called tools… it could turn one into another tool.

In any developing country with low incomes but heavy social media presence and smartphone usage, most people care more about the content and how much they’re actually getting entertained than bothering about quality and size.

In India, skin color may also have to do with caste level.

Cedar Hills man, 80

Old man should never be behind the fucking wheel.

And the really dumb parents are just as culpable by forgiving… wtf, that’s actually homicide.

Unfortunately, the online component easily becomes a profitable sideline. Sarcastically, it’s what keeps some game corporation CEOs afford their lifestyles.

no charges are expected to be filed against the woman who crashed into VanLandingham.

Literally walking away. Really infuriating.

Those greedfuck assholes. Never fucking learning anything.

Why there now exists “iPad Kid”.

That a friend I know of has a lot of his kids entirely on smartphones, while their family PC is hidden behind cobwebs and dust; if they want a document printed they just go out to some print shop.

Not surprising it’s already ahead, as about 20 years ago they offered 100mbps to anyone who could pay for it (a certain Danny Choo comes to mind).

Some of the studies on smoking I’ve seen were less about understanding how and why people consume tobacco and recommend alternatives, and more like echoing the old practices and beliefs of the temperance movement, which considers tobacco and alcohol as archenemies of humanity. That anytime there’s someone publicly declaring they quit smoking, it’s followed with praises which at times reminiscent of a tent revival.

Won’t come out immediately, as that tech would first have to be finalized then introduced to the domestic market.

Dead Rabbits Rise!

Doctorow is always right.

He can’t wait wearing that Hugo Boss uniform. Or those white blankets.
