I never really solved this, though I grown to accept it as a sort of reassuring fact.

I am constantly dying and being substituted by my new present self, but I’m only aware of that because my reasoning brought me there, I’m unable to feel that I’m experiencing it first hand. The self who started this comment is already lost in the past and didn’t even realise that it happened, there is a perfect continuity between them and me.

It’s a bit sad that “I” won’t be specifically the one to experience the future, but some of the other selves with which I compose my identity will, which is good enough.

Moreover, it means that I have no need to fear ceasing existing (like with neurodegenerative diseases, death and similar situations), because it has always happened and it’s painless.

I guess that if we objectively knew it we would have solved morality?

I can use everything normally (except for LibreTube that today decided not to load any video, but I don’t think it is relevant here), so I guess it’s another problem. BUT, just in case, how did you solve?

But in that case I wouldn’t be able to use any app, would I?

I prefer to keep it as plan Z since there would be many password recoveries and backups (and hope that I can also backup settings) to do. If I haven’t solved it in a couple of days, I’ll try that.

Edit: I tried to uninstall an app that needed no backup, but the widget is still invisible. Also, some system apps’ widgets don’t work either and I can’t uninstall those.

I tried twice, once with the reboot option and once powering it off for some minutes to let it rethink its life choices. Needless to say that it didn’t work.

I have already tried without success to:

1. Re-add the widgets (it has worked with two of the loading widgets, but not with the others)
2. Clear the cache
3. Re-Reboot
4. Uninstall and reinstall the problematic apps

August 20 update: the problem seems to have solved itself by just waiting?
Since I last commented on this post I haven’t rebooted my phone or attempted to re-add my widgets. Today I tried again, just to see if something has changed, and they actually loaded after a few seconds. I suppose it’s fine like that.

Do banking apps work on it? If yes, is it with or without microg?

So far I only ever used Windows and Linux Mint, but I’m happy with the latter so I guess I’ll stay with it for a while.

Krita. I don’t use it at a professional level so I don’t know if it’s missing important features, but as far as I know it’s also used by skilled artists. Also, the documentation is great.

But we are still at the very beginning of this technology. People will start using them at home because they are more suitable than phones for some activities, but as usage increases there will also be more research on the subject - so technology can advance and become less invasive -. Once usage increases and the tool becomes less invasive, I see very few barriers to them spreading outside.
