    Pazuzu@midwest.social explained above:

    The original post only gave half the explanation. It’s not that lead exists in general, it’s that lead exists within zircon crystals.

    Under normal circumstances that would be impossible, zircon crystals strongly reject lead atoms as they form. There’s no way to stuff lead into the crystal lattice in the quantity we find them there. But uranium and zircon go together just fine, we just have to wait for it to decay into lead. The trouble is it takes ~4.5 billion years for just half of those uranium atoms to turn into lead. So any zircon crystal we find with half as much lead as uranium must be roughly that old





  • “Allowed and supported” is something different then “its possible”. The article mentions some points that seemingly haven’t been “supported” in the past:

    • Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store)
    • Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store
    • Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store
    • Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing

    Google also can’t:

    • Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform
    • Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first
    • Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores
    • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store
    • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks not to preinstall rival stores

    Thanks Mr. Epic Judge




  • Give it two more years and brave will stop backporting manifestv2, then you have even less options to avoid google deciding which content needs to be shoved in your face.

    I’m using Firefox since forever. In the past I have checked a few times if a swap to chromium is worth it. It never was.

    I really don’t understand people that prefer Google over Mozilla. Firefox works like a charm and Google already knows enough about us IMHO.






  • might be your smartphone browser/system is using some kind of proxy. this could explain that you are able to ping, but the browser shows access denied. if no log entries are generated on the server when trying to access it via browser, it has to be something on client side or inbetween. on grapheneOS check: Settings - Network and Internet - Internet - Wifi-Settings - choose edit at top right - then advanced. If proxy is not set to none, change it and test again.

    If this still doesn’t help, my last bet is some kind of duplicate IP




  • I second that! Been using it for ~4 years now and I so much prefer it to the old launchers. After installing it I completely stopped testing new launchers.

    Does anyone still remember the old (2010) launcher called slide it. Unfortunatly it was discontinued and I have always been searching for an adequate replacement. In Niagara I have found it.

    Anyway, back to why i like Niagara so much. With every other launcher the workflow is like this:

    • swipe up for menu
    • swipe 2-5 pages left or right till you reach your app
    • click your app icon

    which takes ages and is tedious.

    On Niagara I just swipe along the left or right edge until the letter my apps name is starting with appears and click the icon. That’s it.

    Having notifications beneath your favorite apps and an included media control app when audio is playing is superb. (I’m using the pro version). Calendar is aCalendar btw.

    Best few bucks I have ever spend for some android app.
