This feels like a bait question to get people to break the new “no politics” rule.

Misspelled hooliganism, sorry.

You didn’t mention a VPN, so when you said “moving” I naturally thought you meant physically… .…(ツ)…/

Can’t answer for anybody else, but from what admittedly limited information I’m aware of there are many reasons I’d not want to move to India - Modi, pollution so bad in places you can hardly see through it at times, rampant huliganism hooliganism, sexism, mobs severely beating/killing people (most not even nearly for “justifiable” causes), high unemployment, castes, people still openly using public streets for restrooms, etc. Doesn’t seem like it’s any better than the Ununited States of America.

The Princess Bride.

You can change your situation all you like, but it’s not going to change who you are (especially as this big brother world enabled by technology makes it virtually impossible to escape your past). If you’ve reached a point where you have virtually nothing left to motivate you to move forward (especially if it has been that way for a long time), then the significant effort it would take to try to save you is unlikely to be worth it (never mind finding anyone who would actually care enough to devote themselves to such a task) - particularly with an outcome that is FAR from certain to be a positive one.

Some people just reach a point of being basically devoid of hope, and therefore pretty much dead inside.

Don’t ask me how I know.

As a backup option, you can give Google Assistant or a Google Home the following commands: “at 10PM, sleep {lightname}” to dim, or “at 6AM, wake {lightname}” to brighten - both work over the space of a half-hour, and for some odd reason that’s not customizable.

There’s a completely free app (no ads, either) that prevents auto-rotate from actually happening unless you want it to. It pops up an icon when your phone wants to rotate, and it you don’t tap it within the timeout (adjustable up to 3 seconds) then the icon goes away and the rotation never happens. It’s highly customizable, and I just can’t live without it since I found it.

Yeah, I’m with you on that. I tend to install a ton of interesting apps when I see them, and categorize them into groups (many apps fit multiple groups) so when I’m looking to do something in particular the apps that might fill the need are together to try it with. If those search launchers allowed for adding multiple tags to each app for categorizing and searching, then they’d probably work well enough for me to try.

Plenty of those for free on F-Droid & IzzyOnDroid.

So, PinePhone is gonna be a mature project… when? Can’t be soon enough.
