I’ve been using https://kitsu.app/ for over 11 years.

That said, it’s a bit janky. There are some minor bugs that will likely never get fixed because it’s on a shoestring budget.

You can always import/export your library as XML though, so you can go back and forth between Kitsu and MAL.

Reading your source, it sure sounds like genocide.

That said, it seems like a summary rather than a detailed report and I can’t find the source in the page.

The other people responding to you are saying “did you read the statement by the perpetrators of the genocide denying it?” Sounds like a rather silly statement.

Can’t really weigh in on this but on the face of it it does feel like tankie behaviour.

EDIT: I’ve now skimmed the UN Human Rights report and it’s definitely genocide. The only possible claim against this is that all of their information is false, which seems unlikely.

I’ll also add that the first response above linking to the UN source I’ve seen copy pasted elsewhere. That doesn’t necessarily mean much but, yeah.

I may not like many of what I know of China’s policies (genocide, suppression of free speech etc.), but this is one of the things they have done well.

Persona!

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.

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.

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.

Good. Now repeal the Online Safety Act.

Yeah unfortunately one vote every 4 or 5 years is not enough granularity to weigh in on specific issues. Also, politicians lie about what they will do all the time.

Showing that a large amount of people are against an action, whether by petition or protest, is one of the tools we do have.

This particular piece of legislation has been in the works for two administrations of two different parties. We’re kind of sick of both of them so I think many people will likely vote for a 3rd party the next time around. Possibly the more progressive splinter group of our 'left" party.

Doesn’t stop us from continuing to push. Since they responded we got 300 000 more signatures.

Reminder that there is a petition for UK residents, now with 500 000 signatures: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903

Reading the attached article, this seems to be a directive, rather than a law. We don’t know what shape the law will take, or whether it will actually be implemented… No?

Please correct me if I’m wrong. Not too familiar with this stuff.

There’s still time to push back, I would guess.

Not any more 😭

Chat, is this real?

You should probably also consider CalyxOS, which supports most Pixel phones and, for me at least, seems to work with banking apps using microG while removing all of the pre installed Google bloat and providing a firewall.

That said, I haven’t tried GrapheneOS. From what I hear you can lock it down even more and there are more features.
