Remove "Characters" and "Clocks" laucher results #2404 #launcher

I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.

• Plus their #Website being built to mandate #JavaScript isn't very "respecting" of me as a potential user.

I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.

• But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.

Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...

• I do however acknowledge that there is a #market for #smol & #sleek "#StupidPhones" or rather compact #Smartphones and I do want to see more competition for it.

What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...

• I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.

I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...

• It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...

I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.

• Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...

Question for Poco phone users:
Does the default launcher support icon packs, or do you have to install a third-party launcher?

Google, could we get the ability to drag and drop icons and widgets to different home screen pages without it saying "no room on this home screen"? Think a little bit like how apple handles it - if you drag an icon or a widget to a filled up home screen, it just pushes the icons and widgets there to the next page over. Thank you.

I tried a couple of replacement app launchers on my #Android phone, like #Fossify #Launcher https://www.fossify.org from F-Droid.

But I have a problem: a few times a day, the home screen will freeze up! I have to force stop the launcher app to get it working again (which is tricky because I can't use the launcher to do it).

Doesn't happen with the stock Pixel Launcher, only third-party launchers.

Anybody got any ideas how to fix this?

My youngest has now upgraded to their first full pc. This means they are now leaning in hard to the #minecraft #mod community, going so far to spend their pocket money on getting a copy of the java game! We have found the #prism #launcher which seems to integrate the popular modding sites quite well although I'm having to learn about the concept of mod loaders. What i don't know is how well #sandboxed these mods are. Can they access the wider system or are they limited to certain #APIs? #lazyweb

I wrote a little about browsing with LaunchBar. It's one of the features/concepts that makes LB stand out.
