    I'm just checking my social media apps for any new messages and maybe droify for updates. After checking them in the morning I kinda think to myself that now job is done and any more time I spend of my morning on them is kinda wasted. Checking social media from time to time and speaking with your friends seems kinda healthy, but doomscrolling is kind of a waste after a point (happens if I'm too bored to start my day).

    The thing is, after I check all these, I might go in a loop due to boredom (boredom may have many many reasons behind it). When I have tasks to do or I'm in a period that my friends and I are busy, this is more intense. The phone is an easy and portable distraction. All these contribute to an increase of phone usage (currently I'm in one of those situations and phone usage has increased probably by at least 50%).






  • Insular (the degoogled open source version of Island) has a page comparing Island, Shelter and Insular

    https://secure-system.gitlab.io/Insular/faq.html

    I don't know if its updated, but you can pick the ones that fits your needs.

    I picked Island because I thought I may have issues with my notifications if I had chosen Insular. (Plus, there was this bug I was talking about and thought that it would fix it. Installing Island wasnt the solution, but I had already spent a lot of time/days setting up my phone multiple times and didnt want to try it again, with the possibility of problematic notifications.)




  • Those "root checks" are a joke. ~Nobody raises a brow if you are an admin user with root privilages on windows, (desktop) linux or macos. But it's such a huuuge deal when you manage to actually own and use your own mobile device the way you want by breaking free from what they impose on you, ugh...

    Any app that doesnt work when you have root access ~shouldn't be used at first place..

    Lsposed is a magisk/ksu module that has its own modules too. Like a manager insude a manager giving you even more options.

  • There is a band that once had made a song with those lyrics:

    Once again we hear them calling for war It doesn't matter what they're fighting for They light the match and watch the whole world burst into flame The story's always the same So tell me, people, are you ready to kill? Behold the propaganda, get your fill A distant enemy is threatening our freedom again How much would you like to spend?

    They don't care about the blood on their hands Look at the world, and you will understand They count the money as the innocent continue to bleed They're always planting the seed So tell me, people, are you ready to die Without believing in the reason why? They paint a picture, and the whole damn world is deceived It's all that they ever need

    Millions are falling in line And it's just a matter of time Endless destruction will ensure their pockets are lined For all time

    No more defending the lies Behind the never-ending war

    No, it can't be disguised anymore How they smile as we pay for their war

    No more, by Disturbed


    What happened Disturbed, did you forget what you were screaming about in the past (in 2018)? They also had some other songs similar to that. Come on guys... that's dissapointing..

    (Though they do had some war-glorifying songs before this one, but I thought they had changed their view, matured or something..)
