Time to try to jump ship (for the 3rd time). For good or bad, Twitter is still where the most interesting #Android discussions and reveals happen, so I wont be able to leave it just yet. Think I found a solution to that though. First post at @hth" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.online/@hth explains

@iSaurabhArora @JorgeCastilloPr I wholeheartedly hope so, for all those people. It is easy for me to say, standing outside the org, but I've simply had enough with exposing my day-to-day life to the whims of narcissistic sociopath billionaire playboys. Hope all of you in the org get through this unscathed.

@hrafn_thor @JorgeCastilloPr I can understand the sentiment but there are thousands of people who have worked hard to make Twitter what it is today. I would be surprised if it all rolls over that easily. Optimistic that this storm shall pass too

Why is everyone sharing their mastodon accounts? Twitter ain't going to fall that easily

There are not strong enough words to describe how much I loath the login/onboarding experience for Slack. How has something this bad achieved becoming the de-facto work messaging platform...

Recently I needed to log from a pure Kotlin module inside a bigger Android project, and missed the simplicity of Timber. So I created Lumber, which splits into 2 parts. One is the same base API if Timber, while the other exposes a #Android specific Tree github.com/hrafnthor/lumb…

Many people showed interest, so I'm opening earlybird registration for 2nd edition of the Jetpack Compose and internals online training 🎊 🗓️ Feb 16-17, 2023. First 20 registrations get a generous discount. Use your learning budget before it expires! 👇 open.substack.com/pub/effectivea…

Only after spending an hour trying to get it to work, I notice that it has been archived. Any #Kotest maintainers out there that could please indicate as much on the extension page (or better yet just remove it). kotest.io/docs/extension…

Now what just happened here @androidstudio ? Started receiving warnings of code highlighting being turned off due to internal errors. After restarting studio, it would seem the installation is now corrupted. #AndroidDev

Having been in the 'Wait' group my whole life, the culture of constant interruption, to endlessly need to redirect conversations without actually engaging with what has previously been said, I've come to see little value in many social settings. benjaminrosshoffman.com/wait-vs-interr…

🎉Happy Birthday @BBC on your 100th birthday! When you were founded we had a King, no one knew if they could afford to put their heating on and we'd just lived through a global pandemic. Times really do change!

Nothing like going to sleep in autumn 🍂 and waking up in winter ❄️

@smarimc Bonkers idea 😑 Let us hope this wont be somehow implemented through their already broken Electron client arstechnica.com/information-te…

The funniest thing about this is that Teams is already a complete pain in the ass to use, and almost nobody likes it.

@iateyourmic Brexit 😬

Only a few days in with my new Pixel 6a and I loath the on-screen fingerprint sensor. It's an awfully downgraded experience from my previous Pixel 3.

🐟🐡🦀 new PhD paper alert 📢 after starting this work in 2017, finally published #OA in @FishFishJournal we classified more than 400 fisheries by their management attributes with the help of more than 100 experts. Why is explained excellently below by @gwcarpenter 👇

@JimSproch @r_adiit @akramhussain07 @manuelvicnt @plcoding @JakeWharton @iateyourmic @chrisbanes @mrmans0n Clearly Context Receivers sit highly on the list as replacements for CompositionLocals then, but were there any other contenders that the team considered? Any alternative ideas that have surfaced since after CLs were shipped?

@r_adiit @akramhussain07 @manuelvicnt @plcoding @JakeWharton @iateyourmic @chrisbanes @mrmans0n There are a few syntactic differences. Also, Context Receivers are part of the Kotlin language instead of a bespoke framework-specific thing, and Context Receivers are safer because they create explicit API contract on functions.

@manuelvicnt @plcoding @JimSproch @JakeWharton @iateyourmic @chrisbanes @mrmans0n What you guys think is the clean way of making a API call based on value from composition local? For ref: stackoverflow.com/questions/7381…

Point being that there need to be more smaller options available where the user is given the ability to choose the software they want on their devices. ... I sadly know that this fantasy will never happen as the software bucks 💸 are all what these companies think about

Finally upgrading from my still perfectly functioning Pixel3 and going for Pixel 6a. Why not a P6 Pro, or similar flagships? Because I already own tablets. Why not the Samsung A53, similar mid tiers? I would have if not for the unremovable bloatware and the One UI.

Color me surprised 😏 arstechnica.com/information-te…
