  36. Since #NovaLauncher is about to die, I've started to take a look at some #Android #launchers that got recommendations on the web.

    I have to confess: don't get why people like #NiagaraLauncher:
    niagaralauncher.com/

    Its usage patterns look like worst-case UX to me. Instead of taking advantage of spacial memory and quick access to frequently used apps in an array of icons, the user seems to scroll through a very long all-app list with only a few favorites on top with optional search. Just one dimension. It's so much more effort to invoke an app ...

    IMO this kind of minimalism sacrifices usability in order to get a better look at the desktop background - which is simply black in my case.

    Has anybody a recommendation for a launcher that is as much similar as possible to Nova? 🤔

    I've been friends with and worked with Vincenzo for a few years now and what he has built with Smart Launcher is absolutely amazing!

  43. Android en libertad, un breve resumen

    🇪🇸 Lectura en español disponible aquí.

    La setmana passada vam tenir una xerrada/mini-taller sobre com maximitzar l’ús lliure d’Android, i vam poder enfrontar-nos a diversos desafiaments imposats per la monopolització de Google de molts serveis que ofereix el sistema operatiu d’Android, generant dependències en aplicacions tan essencials per a molta gent com són les aplicacions bancàries, etc.

    Tot i així, ací vos deixem algunes de les eines de les quals es va parlar, per si de cas tens interès en aprofundir. Les anem a separar per categories segons el seu nivell de facilitat. Et resulta molt complicat? Vine un dia a un dels nostres esdeveniments!

    Per a tots els públics

    Independentment de si vols (o pots) instal·lar un sistema operatiu lliure de Google, hi ha una sèrie de coses que podem fer tots amb el nostre telèfon Android sense cap problema.

  46. CW: Gushing About My Home Screen Because I'm Weird

    I finally found an #accessible and feature-rich alternative to the default #Android launcher on my phone, Quickstep: Nova Launcher.
    OK yes I know, it's one of the most popular launchers on the app store. And while I don't know the specifics, I do know it is not open source and is in fact owned by some ad analytics company, so not privacy-friendly either. In my defense, I did try all the recently-updated launchers on F-droid first, but none did what I need: allowed me to accessibly drag one app atop another to make a folder, then add other apps to that folder using convenient checkboxes.
    Samsung's launcher on my old phone would let me do that. Quickstep expects me to drag each app into the folder individually, and I am too lazy. Nova Launcher not only works well for this, but when I'm dragging apps (both with #Talkback and #Jieshuo) it actually tells me which row and column I'm on, which really should be a basic thing and I'm in love.
    So here we go. On the bottom, the dock with 5 items, and with how little I use Signal these days I might narrow it down to four. In the middle, five alphabetically-sorted folders, with self-explanatory names (except for that one folder that contains mainly time-based things, like the alarm clock, tea timer, menstrual calender, and workout timer I barely ever open :ms_sweat: , but also the banking apps for some reason? I'll figure it out.). And on the top, the persistant search bar, the app drawer button and even the weather, which feels like the sort of luxury I'll barely ever check but love having anyway.
    I have no idea if everything looks neat and readable visually, as I did not mess with icon appearance much beyond changing the shapes to squares because they are superior, but at least from my perspective this is finally efficient and nicely organised. I am so glad to have my old home screen back!
    That said, if anyone does have suggestions for more #privacy respecting #launchers that'd do the same thing, let me know. I really don't need as many features as Nova offers anyway, I just can't find anything else that works.

  47. The new #Ariane 6 rocket, which is running four years late ⏳ and still hasn't flown, should be the last #LaunchVehicle developed by #ESA, which will launch a competition of #launchers without weight class limitations. The field of startup launch companies in #Europe 🇪🇺 includes German 🇩🇪 firms like #HyImpulse, #RocketFactory Augsburg, and #IsarAerospace; British 🇬🇧 companies such as #Skyrora and #Orbex; and Spain's 🇪🇸 #PLDSpace. #ESA will use around 75 million euros 💰 to pay for the early stages of the #cargo 📦 challenge, which #Aschbacher expects will result in three companies competing with one another arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/
