  • Everything is a thing eventually somewhere. Heh.

    There’s even Jews for Jesus. They believe he maybe was the messiah (“moshiach”) and that our people dropped the ball on that. Weird stuff. Culturally I find it odd yet interesting. Belief-wise I know it’s all mythology from a primitive time. But whatevs.


  • Yes I see your point. And I was raised completely orthodox so I’m familiar with that aspect of it and how much of a part it plays. But yes I consider myself very much to be a Jew in more than just lineage. But I do take your point.

    Regarding Jews regard for Jesus in general the attitude is that if he even existed, he was trying to change things in a way that would corrupt the religion. People have many many theories but most scholars don’t even concede he even existed. There are Jesus-like characters with many of the same traits that are part of religions that predate all abrahamic lore.

    Stuff is very complex. Weird though how this discussion moved into this. I like it though. I mean, I was only joking around with my comment but I’m happy to have engaged in this convo. Very nice.











  • Well I don’t think it’d paranoid but I have been meaning to run a scan with some apps I have just to see. But is Xiaomi one of the banned brands?I know Huawei, ZTE, and some others I’ve heard. Not sure about Xiaomi.

    Anyway it’s a fairly good quality launcher. And it has one feature I love that Nova never implemented which is icon packs as in multiple. In order of preference.



  • Lawnchair is ok but I’ve been liking Poco. The thing is Nova is amazing at adapting icon packs to at least make stuff follow a motif. Nearly every other launcher just leaves icons looking out of place when there isn’t a themed one. I’m not talking about having an icon for all your apps within all your icon packs, but if the pack follows some shape or design, or maybe color affectation, Nova will generate for all others a complying effect. Hardly any other launchers will do this. I also use a widget called Launchy and the one thing it’s missing is it also won’t do this with some packs. Although some will. It’s weird.

    But I’ve rambled. Yeah check out Poco AKA Global Launcher from Xiaomi I think.




  • Hah I literally did the exact same thing. When I bought my current laptop it came with Windows 11. When I powered it on while I was looking for my USB stick it started loading Windows, I restarted into the USB and installed my Linux distro. I mean, literally I have no use whatsoever for Windows even for a moment.

    I wanted to go with raw Debian but at the time the audio device was very new on the market I think, or whatever the reason, I had to put Kubuntu which had all the necessary drivers to fully support all the hardware on the system. I’m very happy with it. It’s a kick ass laptop. Why would I want to infect a superb computer with Windows!
