  • No worries friend :)

    You can place things anywhere down to the pixel, not just snapped to a grid like with Nova (though, there is option for a grid of apps, also).

    It’s a bit of fiddly process if it’s complicated, but you can layer and place things however you want.

    There is no dock, you can however pin items to show on every screen, which is basically the same thing, so that would also fit that criterion.

    Also 4 swipe directions on icons for extra shortcuts beyond tap (last I used nova, it was just up and down? It’s been many years).

    Basically, can highly recommend Total Launcher, though in fairness, I have not tried some of the other launchers listed by others here.

    The one time fee for pro is pretty affordable, iirc. The Dev is also pretty responsive via email








  • The more you learn, the greater you are aware of how much is uncertain.

    Yes, but similarly, the god of the gaps is pretty hard to ignore.

    There will be questions we never will have the answer to, and if you’re actually serious about the scientific method as a philosophy, you aren’t uncomfortable with “we don’t know”.

    To me, a mysterious universe is more wondrous than “god did it” and yes, I do very much question religious scientists, despite many great scientists being religious.

    If you’re willing to just believe things “just because” then how can I trust you’ll actually apply the scientific method (also a philosophy) reliably?

    I can happily coexist and work with mildly religious scientists/engineers, but I would straight up refuse to work with a creationist or someone born again. Religion is anti-scientific.

    Religion vs science is not a false dichotomy, despite it being possible to be religious and a scientist at the same time.





  • This is why I’ve just never liked super hero universes.

    In isolation, it’s passable, fun even, and I’ve enjoyed some marvel stuff.

    When they actually try to do world building, it’s just so, so bad.

    This is my opinion, apologies to those who generally like the Marvel universe, but I just can’t stand it. (Based on the handful of films I’ve seen or heard about).
