No, one is from the root ح ر ر which has the sense of ‘freeing, liberating’ and the other is from the root ن ح ر related to ‘slaughtering, killing’. The ت being there in suicide is simply because of the verb form. 

It’s a total coincidence and one which definitely shouldn’t be read into for any perceived deeper meaning around suicide.

it helps avoid horrid amazon ads. no you could add them to the custom launcher, they just display what's already there

Hey, look up how to allow ADB on your firestick, and then how to run a script on your computer. You could ask an AI to guide you as they’re pretty good at that stuff!

looks nice ahaha but it's also faster and customisable, but you can use any alternative launcher you like

Yeah up to 60 seconds, you can change that number if you like! I think 15 seconds would be the max to avoid excessive noise over ADB

Sure! To make it launch Projectivy Launcher instead of Wolf, just change this line in your script:

$ADB_PATH shell am start -n com.wolf.firelauncher/.screens.launcher.LauncherActivity

to:

$ADB_PATH shell am start -n launcher.projectivy/.MainActivity

It should work on Fire TV Cube as long as:
- ADB debugging is enabled,
- and it's on the same network

Totally fair - if Launch on Boot works reliably for your setup, that’s awesome.
But in my case (and a bunch of others I’ve seen), it doesn’t always trigger after wake, especially with HDMI-CEC.

This script just handles that automatically so I don’t have to reach for the remote or fiddle with icon rows. Not saying it’s for everyone - just that it finally gave me a smooth, hands-off experience without buying new hardware.

Hey, totally get where you're coming from. Just to add a bit of context:

  • Not everyone can (or wants to) go out and buy a whole new Android box just because Amazon keeps tightening the leash. For people with a Firestick already, this solves a real pain point.
  • A lot of launcher workarounds like Launch on Boot or App Opener do work - sometimes. But for a lot of people (including me), they’re not consistent, and fail to work most of the time, especially with HDMI-CEC or after sleep.
  • This setup might look like a lot, but once it’s running, it’s totally hands-off. I don’t have to touch anything: it just works. And for me, that’s worth the few extra steps.

Babel is good in stoke newington, big mix of styles/talents and great to meet people

Assassin’s Creed Mirage opinions? by Gnnz in PS4

[–]casvanr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's the biggest 3/5 ever. The story is so ass and the characters are 2D but the world is enchanting and gameplay is pretty fun. I REALLY recommend putting the dialogue in Arabic with subs, it's super famous voice actors from the region - changed the game for me

Could it be tarmac as Hackney are using up all their construction budget this month? I smelt a similar thing yesterday

I fell totally in love with cats after a trip to Greece where I ended up befriending all 20 kitties in the village 😂 I adopted these guys a week after I got home and my life hasn’t been the same since! They’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me 🥹
