End of an era: Nova Launcher's parent company lays off practically everyone in c/[email protected]

Are there any launchers that have Nova's 2 best features?

  1. Swipe-to-open folders (with tap to open the first item in the folder)
  2. Set any icon you want as an app icon?

I've tried Lawnchair and it was missing these 2 features. I will switch to any launcher that supports these!

The Shoe Bomber was caught because he was trying to light a fuse with a lighter. You cannot light a bomb with a pocket knife. If you want to ban something from planes, ban lighters

My Asus Zenfone 8 is still going strong after 2+ years. Case and screen protector help, of course

It's not real but I don't understand who benefits from faking this

I can install any app I want on my Mac. How is this different?

Should go harder IMHO. This ad from the National Congress of American Indians does a good job.

Gonna need to know more. What method do you use to lock your phone? Is it rooted?

Also: did they return the phone to you, or to your friend? Could it be your friend who went through these apps?

My only wish is that they made a smaller version. I realize that that's probably impossible, given their goals (smaller phones are probably harder to repair). But man do I miss small phones

Do I need Droid-ify, Obtaniun, and F-Droid Basic? Feels like there's a lot of overlap there, no?

What are the shortest karaoke songs? (lemmy.world)
 

I like going to karaoke bars with my friends, but so many songs have problems:

  • They're fun for the first 2 verses and chorus, but then they keep going, or
  • They include some really long instrumental break in the middle, where I just have to kinda tap dance

What are some karaoke songs that don't have these problems? Looking for songs that are

  • short: Below 4 min if possible. Maybe even below 3?
  • no instrumental break

Thanks Lemmy!

[Request] How to get a tiny multitool past airport security? (lemmy.world)
 

First off: This post is about a tiny Leatherman multitool. Not a gun, not a sword, not something that can actually hurt someone. Just a small, harmless tool that is unfairly banned from planes because of onerous TSA regs. No one is going to do 9/11 with tiny pliers and a fingernail-sized screwdriver.

Now that that's cleared up...

There are 2 things I hate: Going without my keychain-sized Leatherman, and checking a bag at the airport. Unfortunately, these things are in conflict, as TSA won't let me take my precious Squirt (actual product name... ew) in my carry on. Over the years, I've probably lost half a dozen multitools to overzealous airport security, both in the US and abroad.

I've probably gotten it past security over a dozen times, but there doesn't seem to be any consistency to it. Packing it between my razor and my beard trimmer worked for a while, until it didn't. Lining it up with the handlebars of my suitcase worked a couple times. But then I lost another one.

"Did you know they sell airport-friendly Leathermans that don't have a knife?" Yes I do. Did you know that several overseas airports straight up don't care, and will take it anyway? (I'm looking at you, Philippines and Costa Rica.)

I don't need a different tool. What I really need is a reliable method to get this tiny tool past security, so that I can peacefully open beers, fix janky hotel showers, and open the occaisional package without having to buy a new Leatherman every year.

Thank you in advance for your calm, measured, and helpful responses.
