Android launcher changing via ADB

Find the current launcher using the following command:

adb shell cmd shortcut get-default-launcher

Setting the new launcher requires you to install the new launcher and then run

adb shell cmd package set-home-activity "your.package/.YourLauncherActivity"

Replace the your.package/.YourLauncherActivity with the actual launcher package name

Chrome doesnt support bottom tabs on Galaxy Fold

Whether this is Mozilla or Google, I have no idea how they could be this incompetent since they support the bottom tabs if the phone is folded but not when the phone is in full unfolded version. Millions of dollars spent on these high paid programmers and they still can't get it right. And pretty sure if I had signed up to get those jobs I wouldn't get those jobs. The irony.

Finding the GPU Video / VGA info on Debian

So I noticed by XFCE ui on Debian was defaulting to 800x600 display resolution and it was likely that Debian doesn't bundle the graphics drivers for the server that I'm on.

I was able to get the name of the GPU video / vga info using this command:

lspci -k | grep -A 3 -i vga

Toxic mental habits

I don't expect a lot of people to agree with me but the world doesn't change for the good if we hide good ideas so I hope this is a good idea that humans will choose to implement in their lives.

Let's talk (or text) a little bit about how our mental habits affect others. Firstly, do we realize that our mental thoughts can become habits? If you grew up around negativity, there's a possibility (not a guarantee) that you may be a little over negative about things. My opinion is that there is a fine line between being constructive and having a toxic mental habits (P.S I'm not a psychologist but if you're reading this and you're already complaining about me not using the correct terms - then unfortunately you just added yourself to this group).

We've been taught to believe that critique and criticising others is somehow our strengths - but look at the world we live in today because of it. We have banks that keep our interest profits (because someone said in an executive meeting that the profits were not enough so let's continue to extract it from our customers - all from a critique), there's health insurance that seems to be more profitable than it is a safety net for many people, there are teams that should be productive but instead they're finding faults with one another and becoming distracted. My examples are to point out that critiquing isn't really the way - direct critiquing will define a problem but too much of that just takes a toll on the human that has to solve that problem. We need to realize that if we create a toxic environment, whether we've criticized someone by a fact that is true, we might be making the world itself a worse place to foster success. Success is not just monetary, removing toxic mental habits or adding positivity to the mix will definitely improve the lives of many. No sane person wants to live in filth or in a cesspit, so why are we pushing division and anti-teamwork where we show care for one another to make a bigger impact? Get rid of toxic mental habits and create an environment where everyone is free to be a super hero - let's change the world for the better.

I expected more - but hear me out

Lately I've been noticing something really disappointing about the 'higher educated individuals' - that is the ones who have gone through the education system and have the top of the top credentials. When it comes to working with others, one of the greatest 'motivations' is to be able to deal with individuals that have reached a higher level of thinking (and hopefully their education has influenced them or equiped them to do that) - but coming back to my topic, I'm really not seeing that. What I feel like I'm seeing is an act - like there's a care but only because someone knows it looks like caring. People always recommend going with what your gut tells you (not just you know, for the toilets). I'll give you an example to zone in on what I'm saying. It takes really barely anything to start an email with a greeting, that's my view yet I see even top line people that seem to chose not to do that - that's really low. I've seen people who have become the top of the food chain in the hierarchy of organizations and instead of being on the top of the world, they seem more miserable while having more and it leaks out in a really negative way. Don't get me wrong, you know people go through things, personal things even but how people forget that they are human and others want to be treated like humans really isn't rocket science or even a medium level of brilliance and that's why I say I expected more - not because I'm perfect but because I'm human and you are to. Maybe one day true intelligence will regain it's grip - but I wouldn't count on it.
