And yet the comment I replied to was "They fixed a problem that wasn’t real".

Incredibly scientific and thoroughly sourced lol.

In the first half of 2023, shoplifting reports were 16% higher than the first half of 2019. New York City saw a 44% increase in shoplifting complaints between 2021 and 2022. New York and Los Angeles saw the largest increases in shoplifting from 2019 to 2023, with more than 60% increases.

lol ok

you think they are just locking stuff up for fun?

it's a pretty simple app, what are you having issues with?

it also doesn't factor in how these irrelevant attacks alienate people who might consider joining their cause.

there are apparently over 25 million people in the US that play golf.

If, for no reason, you insult them and their hobby, you've lost a ton of potential allies.

Take this example I saw here a few days back:

https://lemmy.world/comment/4964970

A guy posts a picture of his motorcycle and some miserable sonofabitch comes in screaming at him:

Thanks for adding more pollution to our climate. Asshole.

Fuck that. Any person that intentionally pollutes the air should be publicly shamed and eviscerated.

yea, great job, guy..

this golf course talking point is weird, even looking at the issue as an environmentalist myself.

there are 2m acres golf courses in the US

the US is 2.43b acres in size.

Golf courses are 0.008% of US landmass.

Well beyond a rounding error, but for some reason this is some people's #1 issue.

the most frustrating part is when I search for a result I know exists, and I know that Google knows it exists, but it floods me with pages and pages of things it thinks I "should" see instead.

should probably at least give a search term so people can look it up.

are you using gestures?

I suspect that might cause a conflict.

I use the 3 button nav on my phone.

you could add a hotspot on the lower left and right sides.

Unusual advice:

I use Jina app drawer

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobeedom.android.jinaFS&hl=en_US&gl=US

It allows you to swipe up from the home button and access a selected grid of apps, and quickly search for any installed apps.

Lets me keep my homescreen pristine, and only display art/widgets.

So it really doesn't matter what my launcher is.
