Just because a lot of people might be looking for alternatives, here is some:

Work in progress:

Proprietary Launchers:

From the article:

Internet services in Bangladesh were shut on July 18 following violent clashes between the police and student groups. The students have been protesting a new policy that reserves a portion of government jobs for descendants of the country’s 1971 war veterans, who are predominantly supporters of the ruling party led by Sheikh Hasina. At least 110 people have been reported dead and thousands injured.

For people who might be looking for alternative, here is a list of websites by FMHY:

After I made this post I looked for the app everywhere, turns out the developer removed it from Fdroid and Google Play Store and even deleted the community.

I guess the client is done.

They both are bad and would not get much views if exposed for their real nature, just to quote from the article:

“What creators like Omotayo are doing looks good on the surface, [but] it is ethically wrong because the aim of such content is to generate more engagement and followers, which in turn result in wider fame and sponsorship deals for the creator,” Suraj Olunifesi, an associate professor and social media researcher at the University of Lagos, told Rest of World. “These creators should rather be called business people and not philanthropists.”

Olunifesi compared stunt philanthropy creators to Big Tech companies: They “may allow their platforms to be used for free, but they, in turn, exploit users’ data for profit.”

For people who did not click the link:

The original Nova team, for many years, was just me. Eventually I added Cliff to handle customer support, and when Branch acquired Nova, Cliff continued with this role. I also had contracted Rob for some dev work prior to the Branch acquisition and some time after the acquisition closed we were able to bring him onboard as a contractor at Branch.

However, I've always been the lead and primary contributor to Nova Launcher and that hasn't changed. I will continue to control the direction and development of Nova Launcher.

I don't think that is the answer because other privacy respecting apps(Open source or offline) have a lower size.

Take for example Typewise keyboard the offline paid version, it comes at 44MB only despite them implementing their own AI stuff and implementing a completely new keyboard layout.

Why would anyone weight their gas canister?

Other apps store stuff locally also, you can compare for example bravenewtube and grayjay, you will see a weird size difference.

This is from 2024 March, 26.

Are you sure it's a mirror and not a clone?

You are better served by switching to a different launcher.

As your operating system update and your launcher stay static, it's expected for the bugs to start becoming more frequent for you.

Here is some other launchers that you can switch to:

Open source:

Closed Source:

i2p and Tor are really slow + the amount of people who use them are small compared to the clearnet and also a lot of those websites have ads on their website which would not work on i2p or Tor , so it does not make any sense to host it there.

I mentain 2 websites already:

  • Secu.pages.dev
  • Crtv.pages.dev

I also used to contribute to FMHY before they put the complicated form to fill and I am trying to help with some open source projects.

I can't create the whole world online by myself, I want to be the change I want in the world, but that is too much.

So, yes someone other than me has to do it.

How so?

How can AI replace the chief executive officer of any company?

If you have any articles or sources about this, I would love to read about it.

You pay it to get the product?

If you are talking about the reliability of common dreams, they are very reliable.

If you are tired of hearing about any specific topic, I heard that you can blacklist words, so posts with this words does not show in your feed.

All my posts are from very reliable sources.

I don't care about influencing people beliefs, in fact I turned off showing upvotes and downvotes in my client(Jerboa for Android). If you are bothered with people seeing this type of posts, you can share any news article you want as long as the source is reliable.

One time purchase?

It's a open source project, you can install it for free, but you could still donate.

As far as I can tell they are working on a new release.

Don't use it now, but you can follow their GitHub/ F-Droid to see when they get a new release.

How so?

I am currently using windows, but Microsoft office could easily be replaced with WPS office on linux, there will be some niche features (Power query, Microsoft Access,.. Etc) that will not work for linux but the rest is covered on linux.

Sadly, I don't believe there will be any cuts in 2024, I believe they will cut in 2025 but that is just my opinion.

From now till September, I believe the stock is expected to stabilize, on the other hand the inflation is still higher than 2%.

That is why I don't expect that they will lower the rate as it would be kind of unexpected move to lower it this early.

U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, the highest-ranking Republican on the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, said Wednesday the pier project had caused “national embarrassment.”

“The only miracle is that this doomed-from-the-start operation did not cost any American lives,” he said. “We cannot buy back the $230 million needlessly spent, and significant questions remain about the Biden administration’s poor planning for this mission.”

Does not look like a propaganda to me, VOA is very factual overall.

Sure, what do you wanna know?

Huh?

How it would work in real life?

Like how can you advertise on Xitter via a proxy?

???

Do you know how being informed works?

I did not choose only this article, I posted other story from there on other topic:
