My SmartLauncher homescreen with ergonomically arranged app icons so I don’t hurt my thumb on this massive screen (with double-tap options - so 12 total apps there). Can also hide the icons with the dot on the bottom right.

As a 10+ year reddit user who has switched 98% to Lemmy, only checking reddit on my computer every couple days: Lemmy is completely fine, and I have seamlessly transitioned from Reddit.

Its userbase is more technical than Reddit’s, and there’s not as much content. But it is a perfectly good Reddit alternative. I find it isn’t as addictive as reddit, which is awesome. I just wish there were more educational communities akin to AskHistorians, AskScience, etc.

Rakuten Kobo is a good alternative to Amazon Kindle. I can just drag and drop books, no internet connectivity necessary, no DRM… I have no problems with it at all. Would be cool to be able to load custom firmware, but I do not need to since it already doesn’t spy on me and doesn’t force DRM (3rd party book imports).

This in itself is actually pretty normal - banning rainwater collection is mainly to stop people from collecting so much rainwater that they cause environmental issues. At least that’swhy it’s banned in many places in the US. If it’s really banned in Gaza “because rain is the property of the Israel” then that’s absolutely wild, though.

This may be the least oppressive and weird law the Israelis have restricting the rights of Palestinians, at least until they deliberately destroyed civilian water infrastructure. But then, I don’t think enforcing rainwater collection bans is exactly at the top of the Israeli military’s checklist right now.

Probably not, no. It’s a type of rarely-enforced law that relates to water conservation and (primarily) preventing large scale farmers from removing tens of thousands of tons of water from local ecosystems to water crops, thereby preventing natural recharging of aquifers, etc.
