Lawnchair is almost exactly like Pixel Launcher except you can do things like remove the search bar, change the icon counts, and stop the app tray search bar from searching the web (or switch it to another search provider).

I’ve been using it for months and couldn’t be happier.

Incidentally, it wasn’t until about 10 minutes ago that I realized “Lawnchair” is just “Launcher” if you pronounced it in a French accent.

STOP

That’s not select-a-size. That’s just tiny ass paper towels. Select-a-size towels have no perforations and you cut them with scissors.

You can’t prove a universal negative.

You can prove specific negatives by providing counter evidence. Thing like “I am not a woman” by proving “I am a man”.

The last paragraph in your post should have been the only paragraph in your post. People aren’t getting as far as your last paragraph before they give up and make a comment about command lines on Android.

You didn’t need to spend 4 paragraphs telling everyone things they already know. You should have gotten right to the point.

The man dev quit the project and others are picking up the pieces. They might not have access to the Play Store account, or maybe they do. Either way, the new team has not produced a new final version yet. Just a string of alphas and betas. As of now the beta is the main version. It’s good enough for daily use.

There’s no dash in Brotato. It’s similar, but has distinct waves of enemies with shopping between waves. I like it.

You’re in the Android community, and this doesn’t appear to be an Android game.

I just got swiping to work in Heliboard, which is nice. Works and looks just like Gboard. You just have to go to the advanced settings, scroll all the way to the bottom, then load the required library manually.

This is a direct link to the library if you have an ARM 64bit v8 phone. Otherwise, you can find different version in that same repo, I think. Just use the 3-dot menu to download it:

I found the link to that file in this reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/fossdroid/comments/15j3m2a/openboard_updated_dual_language_custom_dictionary/

I downloaded it using Droid-ify. It’s like F-droid without the F-droid drama, which i forgot the details of. Someone convinced me to switch and it was painless.

I just switched to HeliBoard. I was using OpenBoard, but I don’t think it was getting updated. The worst part of OpenBoard was it would autocorrect email addresses, so it would turn myemailaddress@gmail.com into “my email address mail come” or something, and if I forgot to hit delete right after it did so, there was no way to undo the autocorrect. HeliBoard seems to recognize the @ and stop autocorrecting it.

I just discovered that HeliBoard has an undo button! I can’t count how many times I’ve deleted whole sentences or paragraphs by accident while editing a large block of text.

It has a bunch of other new features and preferences that OpenBoard doesn’t have. For instance, you can swipe up/down from the keyboard in the same way you can swipe left and right to move the cursor.

It just needs an emoji search.

Not really mad. Just very sad. I had been waiting years for it and I drove hours so I could spend the eclipse with friends within the totality. We made the most of it, but it sucked.

I use a Firefox addon called “FB Purity”. It blocks all sponsored and recommended posts. You can even configure it to hide posts like “Your friend commented on this” which would also put random public posts on your page. My main page is very clean and takes 10 seconds to scroll down every few days to see the most recent pet photos or any important news from my family.

“I got to 800. Time to lock it in, go on a spending spree, and not pay anything back!”

Probably, but all you really need is an app called EasyTether. I wrote a big comment about it on this post.

Get EasyTether for your phone ($10) and you can USB tether to any PC that has the companion app installed (free).

Even a Raspberry Pi works. I have a Pi configured to broadcast as a WiFi AP, so I just plug in my phone via USB and I have instant WiFi for all of my devices. Takes a fair amount of configuration to do that, but there are tutorials online. Much easier just plugging your phone into a laptop for internet on just that laptop.

Or maybe a laptop can act as a WiFi AP, too. I do know Windows can share internet out a free Ethernet port very easily.

I use a VPN so my wireless provider doesn’t see Windows update or Stream downloads, etc.

Interesting. I’ll give that a try.

Firefox has an add-on called “Allow Right-Click” that lets you easily toggle blocking right-click scripts. Some sites offer a useful context menu, like Google Drive, so you don’t necessarily want to always be blocking them. Hence the toggle.

Ahh, I see someone’s making swiss roll enchiladas!
