Friend, you are right to question the meaning of the scripture. But, I urge you to continue. Don't stop after you've just begun. Investigate it. This is your kneejerk interpretation. Read the Gospels, read the Acts of the Apostles, see if your interpretation fits.

Reading a helper function for an api call on a web server doesn't tell you what the web server is used for.

Using AirGuard on Android, I'm able to detect iPhones around me even when they are not in pairing mode.

I see links to a "Github Project" on the webpage, but it only shows the html/css for the site, not the actual project code.

I know you're being facetious but everything you are saying is kind of the point about Omarchy. The "oma" comes from "omakase" or something like that. The point of it's creation was to give devs at 37Signals a streamlined onboarding process. That is why it includes apps thst the comapny uses internally. The OSS nature of it enables people to fork it and remove the bloat, which is exactly what people have already done.

Idk it's pretty common practice to have your landing page at the base url, with the app itself located on a subdomain. Off the top of my head I think of standardnotes, linkwarden, raindrop.

Self-hosting sucks, yes. But I'll be damned if it isn't fun. It's definitely not for everyone. Not only is it not for everyone, but it is not for everyone's families. I'm so grateful that my wife is willing to put up with me experimenting on our home network, trying out different apps, waiting for me to resolve a DNS issue because I forgot to assign a static IP to my pihole.

Generally, I'd agree with you. However, the recent Epstein file dump was in 2026, not 2025, so I would say it is relevant in this case..

Yeah.. I used to use Niagra because it really is a great launcher but I don't like the data collection. A great FOSS alternative is Kvaesitso which doesn't have the exact same layout but it is search based. They also managed to implement a native search that in my opinion is better than Sesame.

That's strange, that hasn't happened to me. Maybe a reinstall might fix the problem? I use it on a Pixel 8A

Lawnchair is similar, but it does have some bugs that they're still working through.

If you're not set in the traditional page/app drawer launcher, I'd recommend Kvaesitso. It's a FOSS search based launcher. A bit of a learning curve but it is very performant and feature rich.

Spotify is not just a music platform but a podcast platform too. I'll bet they make a good amount from Rogan's show. I don't see what the big deal is about giving money to the podcaster making podcasts instead of the artist making music.

I just started using Finamp for Android

https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp

I recommend the beta edition as the UI is quite evolved from the previous version.

Both! Something I've enjoyed about the kindle ecosystem is the ability to seamlessly bounce back and forth between Audible and Kindle, picking up where you left off on either platform. I've been missing this since I switched to KOReader.

My general workflow is to listen while doing chores or driving, read when I can.
