Modern thinking says an alternate etymology is more likely, but it certainly existed long before it took on the meaning from the story.

1·3 months agoThanks. I’ve been trying to stay off Reddit, but it’s still so much more active than Lemmy.
So here’s the problem I’m having with Octopi, and I’m not even sure of the right vocabulary to describe it.
I’m using the Outline icon pack, not that I think that matters here. But I’m trying to make an icon for the calendar that updates the date each day. I can see the icons 1 through 31 in several different icon styles, but if I choose today’s date, Octopi doesn’t update tomorrow.
Another way of stating this is that in the icon drawer itself, several other launchers show my Google calendar with today’s date but Octopi shows the standard 31st.
What is this feature even called?
And am I right to assume that it’s a feature that depends partly on the launcher?
Octopi is my current leader.
I’m not sure whether I will actually use this feature, but it’s fascinating the way each icon can be resized to a different size.
Also I note that it lets you set the number of columns, but not the number of rows. By setting the number of columns you set the grid size and then the number of rows is forced. But not entirely forced because if you show icon labels you’re arranging rectangles and if you don’t show icon labels you’re arranging squares. And also not entirely forced because just because you said that there were seven full size icons across the screen doesn’t mean you can’t fit in 14 half-sized icons or one double wide double tall icon and five regulars.
Yes, thanks. I’ve been experimenting with Hyperion.
I feel obliged to report on which one I settle on, but I haven’t quite gotten there yet.
22·3 months agoThere is a word anti-partyism, but it doesn’t seem to be commonly used.
The literal answer to your literal question is called “believing that US politics should be non-partisan”.

The US started as de facto non-partisan democracy. There is a de jure option.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy
Direct democracy would probably give less power to political parties, but there still could be voting blocs. An example:

I discovered I don’t need the beta for that, just the experimental features I didn’t know were there.
Thanks. I’ll try.
This might be better for me in some ways. But what I have now is different. Tapping gets me one app, swiping up gets me a second, and swiping down gets me a third.
Just tried now, thanks.
It only goes up to 12 rows, but rechecking Nova I see that it also only goes up to 12 rows. I miscounted my home screen.
The other feature I used to smash a lot into a single home screen is the swipe up and swipe down gesture on each icon to get two other closely related apps. I haven’t verified if Hyperion has this yet.
With Nova, I set the grid to 13 rows and left off the labels.
Based on recommendations for a Nova replacement, I tried Lawnchair. But it only goes up to 10 rows, leaving space for labels even when labels are off.
Can anyone point me to a launcher that allows 13 rows?
Had to check that out.

It is a sobering thought that one of his NYT obituary writers died two years ago.

That is, in fact, their official name, according to them.
