The credited inventor of the Phillips screw was John P. Thompson who, in 1932, patented (#1,908,080) a recessed cruciform screw and in 1933, a screwdriver for it.

Biography
After failing to interest manufacturers, Thompson sold his self-centering design to Phillips in 1935. Phillips formed the Phillips Screw Company in 1934. After refining the design (U.S. Patent #2,046,343, U.S. Patents #2,046,837 to 2,046,840) for the American Screw Company of Providence, Rhode Island, Phillips succeeded in bringing the design to industrial manufacturing and promoting its rapid adoption as a machine screw standard. American Screw then spent $500,000 originating a method of manufacture. One of the first customers was General Motors, who used the innovative design in 1936 for its Cadillac assembly-lines. By 1940, 85% of U.S. screw manufacturers had a license for the design.

Due to failing health, Phillips retired in 1945. He lost his patent in 1949. He died on 13 Apr 1958 at age 68 in Portland, Oregon.

Yep, matter of fact let’s make pig Latin the global language, as it is not dumb at all, not even a bit.

says that it’s a “language game” and not a language

this is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_gender

a cat is a cat in english.

i’m not saying that everybody should speak English in a Babylonian world. It’s just that it’s practical to have it as one of your languages.

english is very practical and relatively easy

trilingual here. No language is “dumb”.

neither proton, nor tuta :\

would have been nice to be able to choose our own icons or arcticons :/

😅

all you see is a black screen (in dark mode) until you touch the screen and slide your fingers towards a direction (that you configured for the app of your choice.)

the length of the slide gives you more options. For example I touch anywhere on the screen and push my finger towards 1 o’clock and i can open droidify. If i slide further, i can open fDroid itself.

you can also use it like another app, instead of making it your default launcher, to try it out. Close it like any other app and you’re back on your habitual launcher.
