Appreciate this is a first world problem, but why (in 2026) is the WiFi/network coverage on the UK railway network so bad to the point it's completely unusable Imagine the amount of hours of productivity we'd gain as a country if we could just connect to our emails now and then

This is an interesting use of AI that I can get behind! 😎 (A reminder to only do this on apps you have permission to do so on)

I've just blogged about my feelings surrounding the changes coming to add encryption to DataStore, how it works behind the scenes and whether the new functionality is for you 💪 You can check it out here: sp4ghetticode.medium.com/whats-new-in-a… #AndroidDev

TW // Suicide Four years ago today I lost one of my oldest friends I wish I could wind back the clock and tell him how wonderful he was. The hole that his loss left in so many people's lives will never be filled, but his memory will live on forever I miss you RIP Jack FF 💛

Truly devastated to have learned about the tragic passing of Xavier We met at my first Android Makers and his kind words, advice & excellent talk still remain with me Seeing him at conferences was a highlight. He was a wonderful person & a great community figure RIP Xavi 💚

@mrousavy @shibasis0801 I don't have really any NDK experience, so perhaps you are right and the support for that is lacking behind the standard JVM dev experience In any case, if you are experiencing issues I hope you are raising bug reports! Would suck to experience issues and not have them addressed

@mrousavy @shibasis0801 Thanks for explaining, it sounds like performance and UI seem to be your main gripes? I suspect because you are using it in a _slightly_ less common way FWIW, JetBrains Toolbox is a great way of managing Android Studio installs. So you can check that issue off by using that 😁

all JVM languages (Java or Kotlin) are honestly such a pain to use and feel outdated and slow, prove me wrong. - The IDEs suck, constantly have bugs and have the worst DX of all dev environments - There's no stack-allocation for structured types (even a simple struct like Point{x,y} needs to be heap allocated) - Null-safety was slapped onto it because everything is heap allocated (some Kotlin APIs promise non-null, but then it's null - looking at you, camera2) - There's hundreds of ways of doing concurrency - non-interopable (Executor, Handler, Coroutines, Thread, ...) - There's no preprocessor (if DEBUG) - Garbage collectors suck imo
