Vice News covered this more than a decade ago in “This Is What Winning Looks Like.” They literally filmed a conversation where a US soldier tried to explain to an Afghan police chief why raping children was bad. His response was “who else are we going to fuck?”

Swahili has 10 different “genders,” called “noun classes” or “ngeli,” and none of them correlate with sex. Instead, the third-person singular pronouns are:

• his/her: wake

Yes.

That was my first time testing the backup. Good suggestion.

Yes. It automatically closed after two weeks of me waiting on a response after they said they’d escalated it.

Paid. I also found it hard to believe, which is why I checked the logs, tried working with their support staff, and wrote my own program to confirm.

It’s a privacy-focused backup service.

Correct me if I’m misunderstanding something, but I think you can still control Nova’s permissions through your phone’s App Permissions manager just like any other app. I didn’t allow Nova any permissions even before they were acquired, and I certainly don’t now. Does that help with your very valid privacy concerns?

I resonate with your sentiment against minimal launchers and in favor of FOSS apps. I’ve tried a few and haven’t found any I like.

I like Nova launcher, personally.

Just in case you want advice, I’ve found that using a custom launcher app solves that problem for me. I spend an hour setting up the interface exactly how I like it, then never change it again. When I get a new phone, I load the launcher settings from the last phone into the new one, and everything looks and feels exactly like I had it before.
