Ramsey has some views that don’t align with everyone. The important thing to keep in mind is that America is so diverse, your neighbor could be a different religion and most of us (despite what media will lead you to belive) don’t give a fuck.

If I were to re-work the advice to be less extreme, I’d say don’t put your self in a finacial struggle trying to help your parents.

There’s a lot terrible articles with clickbate titles too. A lot of the articles I’m interested reading are either clickbate/ragebait or way out of context or just completely false.

I’m not aware of major downsides to using a different luncher.

The biggest incovience is initial setup and putting your home screen apps back where they belong.

Spend a few hours to escape to some of google bloat and set your search bar to use Firefox (which has ublock support).

You can change it on other launchers.

Personally I like neolauncher.

https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Launcher The search bar can be set to immediately directly open Firefox search, or you can pick form a list of various engines.

There’s a dozen other launchers to try. Lawnchair is a more popular choice, probably better for someone switching from pixel default. There’s a few very specific features it’s missing for me.

If you search Lemmy for “Nova Launcher” you’ll find some threads listing a dozen alternatives due to nova’s downfall.

I’ve started ignoring random posts about it.

Its the equivalent of telling your little sibling about it and having to listen to them shout “I lost the game” for next 5 months. It gets old quick.

Now if I think about this post and comment later on my own, then sure I’ll have lost the game.

I tried, and tried to like it. We all work differently. I like widgets on the home screen, swipe up for apps. I guess it’s the “start menu” mentality.

Guys this a fake review from the zombies! Never let your gaurd down.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Having just tried it, it is not for me. The categories is there, but having the search/app drawrr on the top won’t work me, especially with these stupid large phone everyone makes. (I’m guessing theres a way to change it, but I didnt get that far)

The ultimate reason its not for me is how widgets are a scrolling thing. It’s a different idea, but I like the widgets on my home screen where I can passively see them.

If there’s a way to change that, I didnt see it. I didn’t even find a way to get rid of the big clock at the bottom.

Cool, first impressions are pretty good.

It took a minute to find, the play store has some not free thing. But I found the github page.

My bad, it is collabora

Edit: I figured out what happened My brain combined LibreOffice and Collabroa and got Calibe the fantastic eBook managar.

I love you can set eq per device. My phone speaker, headphones and car all have their own settings. Its fantastic.

Nova launcher.

I Haven’t found one that works so well with KLWP or has good app drawer organization. I like having folders and tabs to split everything up. Having one big list of apps (70% I dont use often and another 10% bloat) isn’t useful.

Have you tried calibre collabora office? It not 100% there, but could work. (No idea how well it’d work with next cloud)

This is an Intresting one. I’m curious what the deal was.

Assuming accuweather is paying Firefox, thats probably a good thing because Firefox definatly needs to diversify its income.

I wonder what exactly AccuWeather gets. Is only for more web traffic (which is significant) or is it something else?

A childrens “game”, where a bunch (2-4) of kids pile up on one unlucky kid. It can be dangerous, but usually the kids are fine [citation needed].

#1) “Hey bestie, I know a guy who will pay us to model for an ad about Canadian Oil.”

#2) “okay…”

#3) “okay, ladies this will be quick, put on these outfits.”

#2) “why do I get the skimpy one, are you sure this isn’t another porno?”

#1) “yes, I’m sure. He said its going on Facebook or something.”

#3) “Okay, now #2 lean over #1, get in real close like your about to kiss her”

#2) “…”

Big LED light outside bathroom

paper sign underneath light “vaping detected”

The amount of over enginnering that went into this is why we can’t have nice things.

If you want to record it, hook it up to a computer somewhere, detect whenever the sensor state changes and send an email to the admins…or just point a camera at it and the doorway.

You’d expect some sort of privacy in bathrooms

That is the whole point of this mess. The alternative is a person or camera INSIDE the bathroom at all times. The camera would be so much cheaper to deploy…but privavcy laws, rightfully, say no.

With the sensor all it does is say “smoke/vape detected”, from there an adult can check the hall cam to see who went in or just go right in to catch the kid.

I assume with the monitor, it makes it easy for a teacher sitting outside the bathroom and can see the popup (in some schools they already have them to check passes and listen for screeming)

I will second this, please buy a thermometer or two. I like the ones that tell you the min/max temp its recorded. (Random example, never bought this particular one, check reviews etc.

I looked at multiple sources to double check the correct temperature, many agree that the freezer should be at 0°F (-18°C)). Water freezes (and by extention most everything else) at 32°F (0°C), siginficatly higher than the recommended 0. Here’s the sceinific Wikipedia article about why, TLDR: not every food freezes at 0°C, so set freezer low enough everything will freeze.

I found this article that goes over all kinds of food storage info (fridge and how the produce drawers work, freezer temp, pantry etc.)

https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/refrigerator-freezer-use-and-temperature-tips

While you wait for your thermometer, ensure nothing is blocking the freezer vents (you said you did that) and turn that thing up.

The non-scientific, not recommended check; Your icecream should roughly be something in between a rock and butter. If its a rock, its too cold, and its its butter/soup its too warm.
