Google's plan to block unverified apps is a 'rug pull' on the 3 billion people who chose Android for its openness. Don't let them turn your phone into a walled garden. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org

"utils" is where code goes to die

For the Android folks, might be a great time to check out @tunji.dev's client for this space: @heron.tunji.dev

After 2.5y of development, github.com/saket/teleph... is nearing ~600 screenshot tests that verify all possible combinations of usages. It's one of the most thoroughly tested UI libraries you'll find for Android. Shout out to my friends at emulator.wtf without whom this wasn't possible!

IT'S HAPPENING GITHUB, THE FIRST ENTERPRISE CLOUD SOLUTION TO REACH ZERO NINES RELIABILITY https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ #github

oh. so anthropic does not like their original creation getting in the hands of people without their permission? who knew 😁

Watching the tech industry unleash unpredictable software into production in the name of AI adoption, then spend twice as much time and money trying to limit the blast radius, proves humans should be investing in our own intelligence before allowing the machines to mimic us.

april fool's don't hit like they used to. we're losing recipes 🥀

Heron is now available for the Mac in alpha ☺️

spent most of the day fighting terraform, cloud init & proxmox, and still lost the fight 😔

i accidentally found myself in cyberdecktok and I never want to leave 🥹

hi @sinasamaki.com I was trying to show your blog to my coworkers yesterday and noticed that your site was down. I'm not sure if you're already aware, so I wanted to mention it.

Here's everything that's new in Firefox 149 🔥 ☑️ Split View: Two tabs side by side, just like it should be ☑️ Built-in VPN Beta: Hide your IP address while browsing ☑️ Tab Notes: Leave yourself notes to remember why you opened that tab (available in Labs) blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/f...

Lol. Wth!? https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html

Oumou Sangare is ethereal and I cannot believe how little she gets, in terms of her flowers, outside of the Sahel

Thanks @androidweekly.bsky.social for featuring Dejavu! I just shipped v0.2.0 with CompositionObserver integration. When a recomposition assertion fails, you see exactly which state object caused it, and the value progression. github.com/himattm/dejavu

the poor user experience using Google takeout has to be intentional right? RIGHT?

Today I’m open-sourcing Dejavu! Testing UI performance in Jetpack Compose is frustrating. We profile and watch tools, yet regressions still creep in. I built Dejavu to make recomposition behavior something you can actually test.

He posed in his official state photo with a weapon btw, good job to all involved 👍🏿

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

I have had the most amazing month-and-half of my life

There are plenty of different tools to help you get started with this in #JetpackCompose, check out this article from Francesco to get started! android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/andr...

this AI thing is SOOOO FORCED I'm not a conspiracist but I am so sure that some people somewhere sat down and planned this shit.

This post by Naoko on their experience with the Block layoff (not being cut but leaving anyway) is some hardcore shit. I cannot express how much respect I have for people who have a strong ethical compass and act decisively. 👏 www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

I like this one

what a fucking day

today it's the ayotollah we all criticize. tomorrow, it's Minneapolis, Chicago, Nuuk, Oslo, Berlin. I encourage you all to challenge injustice, extra judicial killings, execuions, kidnapping rulers of other countries.

Most of you have heard about Block's 40% layoffs by now, but the numbers are even worse. Engineering was hit harder, we've lost close to 70% of our engineers. Our leadership is plagued by false promises of "intelligence". The company you once knew as a prolific OSS contributor no longer exists.

It's been a fun ride, but today is my last day at Block / Square. I started working with Android in 2014 and quickly grew to know Square for their engineering excellence and open source work.

Almost all of Cash Mobile Engineering was laid off today. None of us have any clue what their rubric was for choosing who stayed and who went, but whatever it was, I'm on the job market again!

Thousands of good people were laid off by Block (Square and Cash App) today by their chickenshit leadership. Hire them, this is all Block's loss.

hugs to the friends at square & sister companies 🫂

> "we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving" imagine saying this in a note announcing layoffs.

"It's only called legit distillation if it comes from the silicon valley region of California"

for all intents and purposes, anthropic can gtfo. now they're complaining about unauthorized access and use of data?

Omg it's pancake day already? That really crêped up on me.

Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

1. Yiannis has a larger vocabulary than most Americans. His vocab overlaps more with highly educated Kenyan, Nigerian, and Indian people than the average American. Delve! 2. Don't play Yiannis at Scrabble. Don't challenge him to a Spelling Bee. You will lose. 3. Detectors will false positive him.🤷🏿‍♂️

Here's the original btw: nvie.com/posts/a-succ...

Every time I see a post like this I go ask a developer I know at that company if it's true and every single time it's misleading at best, if not outright horse shit. techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/spo...

I love a good bug hunt. What a doozy. allenpike.com/2026/a-broke...

my brain every 5 seconds: "titi me pregunto"

I turned the essay into a blog post: "No. You can't tell it was written by AI" segunfamisa.com/posts/no-you...

Whew. I just typed a 450-word essay on my phone, in reply to someone saying they're adding "this resonates" to their list of "LLM tells"

today, I am grateful for the privilege and opportunity to travel the world and experience other cultures in first-person.

@heron.tunji.dev is my fave social media app rn.
