I used Nova for years, but it felt increasingly outdated so I switched to Action Launcher. Then it too started to feel outdated after a few years so I switched to Smart Launcher, which I’ve been loving. I miss AL’s side drawer but SL has a lot to offer if you want something slick and simple, with custom widgets and layouts. I recommend you check it out!
Meh, while I totally get what you’re saying I think there’s something to be said about these stepping stones between dying closed source platforms and developing FOSS platforms. Especially since most content people are used to and want to engage with is on said platforms. Not everyone wants to jump onto new platforms with learning curves, but this is an in-between for the people gaining awareness.
That, and having a fundamental disagreement with the way a platform is run or what telemetry they harvest doesn’t mean I don’t like the content there. Social media has been a constant battle between the owners, the content creators, and the regular users. At the end of the day people use it for community and connection, even if venture capitalists are hell bent on destroying their product.
The main rule was that if you visited the sub you had to post a meme before you left, (obviously unenforceable) but that’s why all the posts have “rule” in the title. It ended up being a very queer friendly and fairly horny subreddit, somewhat notoriously so lol
The account is specifically for mocking people, thus the name. They take someone to direct their hate at and that translates to real harassment. It’s built to hurt people, especially LGBT people. Groups built on “destroying the woke mind virus” are a scourge to humanity.
Not who you asked but I’m in the desert area of SoCal, it’s usually super dry (15-30% unless cloudy) and it’s been consistently over 100 for a few weeks now. One of the absolute best things about California is that it always cools off at night, down into to the low 60s most of the summer and 70s during the peak. It can be really hard to dress for sometimes, especially since the sun is so much hotter here than other states I’ve been to. 105 with a real feel higher than that during the day, maybe 62 with a breeze at night, that’s a huge temp variance lol. I appreciate it though, it could be like other places in the country and the world where it’s not getting below 80 at night.
The most humid places in Cali are also usually much cooler, due to being near the beach. But it kinda comes out in the wash depending on the day haha. Most of my knowledge is SoCal though, NorCal might be a lot different. California is massive, with tons of different climates, so it’s impossible to talk about it without being specific about locations.
