Persona!

Damn, I really should have read the Silmarillion.

They should stay the fuck out of my country. Bloody parasites.

I recently ran a session and wrote an internal blog post about why useEffect was a dangerous crutch that should be avoided wherever possible. This was due to recently experienced over-complicated logic and unexpected interaction bugs.

This is a little different but I still feel vindicated.

I agree. It’s obviously satire.

To be fair I wouldn’t put it past some right-wing weirdos posting this completely seriously as evidence. It would sit well next to some of their actual conspiracy theories.

They do not understand satire and have brain worms.

This is what the rightoids will have you believe is happening in schools when a school cautiously and quietly says “trans and non-straight people exist”

My brother’s cat hunts flies and mosquitos for him. She’s a helpful little soldier.

Neo launcher hasn’t had a release for 3 years, sadly.

Lawnchair is alright but it is missing a bunch of features compared to Nova.

I think Lawnchair is the closest visual / UX replacement to Nova that I’ve found, but it is missing many features compared to Nova 🙁.

Also, I’m starting to learn Private Space is a pain, as amongst other shortcomings it forces you to use a logged-in Play Store to install apps (“private”, my ass!). You can install apks via ADB, but who can be bothered to do that.

Under the hood, it looks like Private Space uses another hidden user, so I think I’ll just make another user logged into nothing and switch to it occasionally instead of using private space.

Does anyone know of a good replacement launcher that supports Private Space?

I had noticed that Nova had been falling behind for the last couple of years, but I didn’t know why. I’ve been using it for over 10 years.

It sounds like a case of “buy it, kill it” which is pretty sad. If it had been open sourced we might have been able to improve it and keep it alive.

It’s real. It’s also marked on Google Maps as a “Place of Worship” which I think is hilarious.

Given how crucial to exposing government misconduct FOI requests are in the UK, I imagine this is a path you very much don’t want to go down.

I first thought this was talking about the UK government, as I wouldn’t put it past them to try and push something like this through. I’m both sad and relieved it’s our Australian cousins going through it instead.

To be clear, this seems to be about Australia (?)

I wonder if the burst in activity is from all the companies and government entities in Europe wanting to distance themselves from Microsoft and the US, switching to LibreOffice and improving its funding.

You do understand that someone born in 2006 would now be 19 years old, right?

Fun facts:

• If a man produces a teaspoon and we assume that this equates to 5 grams
• A sperm whale weighs typically 45 metric tonnes

9 million men nutting at once would be enough to produce one sperm whale.

The more beans you give me, the better I toot!

I remember a story a while back about an energy company suing to get a church to take down their solar panels because they were selling their power cheap to residents.

Sadly energy company won.

What is a Slimer?
