Do you have any good open source alternatives for Nova Launcher?

How would it be displaced by SARS-CoV2? Wouldn't that require cross immunity?
Seems to have been debunked: https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2024/03/21/why-freakonomics-failed-to-transform-economics
Later researchers found a coding error and pointed out that Mr Levitt had used the total number of arrests, which depends on the size of a population, and not the arrest rate, which does not. Others pointed out that the fall in homicide started among women. No-fault divorce, rather than legalised abortion, may have played a bigger role.
Didn't machines at that time take mere seconds to boot?
That sounds much more reasonable, but don't forget these numbers are also skewed by sexism, on many levels. Victims might not even realize they are victims. In many jurisdictions a woman having nonconsensual sex with a man isn't even considered rape.
Now, I don't believe the numbers are even close to 50/50 or that women don't have the right thing being wary. But being wary is one thing, simply banning all sleepovers at the house of single male parents is another. I'd still call that sexist.
How many of your car rides are really necessary?
Explain to me how that is not sexist?
Here's the Oxford Dictionary of sexism:
sexism /ˈsɛksɪz(ə)m / ▸ noun [mass noun] prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex: sexism in language is an offensive reminder of the way the culture sees women.
To burst your bubble, some of the most famous rapists and child molesters I know of had their wives help them. Women can be monsters too.
Do you also not allow your kids to set foot in a car? Much more dangerous than sleepovers
Exactly, in the best case a shitty form of democracy.
You have zero power as a citizen over the currency you use. You do not directly vote for the Central bankers, Federal Reserve board, etc. Even the politicians you might vote for who appoint them will almost always side in their own favor than their constituents.
I didn't say it's perfect, but it's not zero power.
You are also confusing Bitcoin’s Proof of Work with a shitcoin’s Proof of Stake, which is where wealth gives you more votes.
Proof of stake is arguably even worse, but the energy required for proof of work isn't free either (and that's by design, if it was free Bitcoin wouldn't work).
As for the hash rate you’re contributing as a miner, there’s no additional power you’re given. Even if you attempted to 51% attack the network, it’d be gaining nothing beyond a double-spend by rewriting the blockchain transaction.
There is more than double spending. Who decides how Bitcoin evolves? When new features are added, hard forks, etc. How much power do you have over that?

How ever you turn it, at best it's a shitty version of democracy.
Fundamentally money is all about trust, and I, despite all it's flaws trust my government much more than a random group of developers and miners.
In spoken language 九百六 isn't 906 but 960 ( shortened version of 九百六十), 906 is 九百零六.
