Just met the most adorable little rescue kitten, sad story about where they were found, but they're a little fighter, hoping to adopt when they recover 🤞😻

This is a fascinating and scary little video. And what South Korea is experiencing is only slightly ahead of where the UK and many advanced economies are. Without immigration, we are FUCKED. I mean TOTALLY FUCKED. Yet all parties compete to stop migration. It's madness. youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk?...

Designers when an android engineer ask to just use the system back arrow: “our custom back arrow is an expression of our brand, we cannot yield to looking like a Google app” Designers when Liquid Glass looks like shit everywhere in their app: “LEROY JENKINSSSSSSS”

It is not possible to eat a Croissant elegantly, delicious, flaky bastards

I never thought about it, but saving the last preferred size of the window on a desktop app is a nice UX touch! Thanks to the user who reported it on FeedFlow. Here's how you can do it with Compose Multiplatform

One thing I find frustrating about living in Germany is how often Germans will assume Ashley is exclusively a woman's name, or that it was necessary to assume a gender in the first place.

My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.

Been messing around with inserting this prompt into LLM conversations and it massively improves the “tends to over validate the user” issue. I kind of feel like consumer models should all have this by default

android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elev... Since they're working on it, can I please just develop my apps without needing to register somewhere? Can we educate about trusted app sources, instead of enforcing arbitrary rules for everyone?

Hoorah! Looking forward to joining everybody at Droidcon London this year 🎉

A lot of us having been building apps with #JetpackCompose for a few years now, but do you know you can do a lot more than building UI? Join us this Wednesday at @c-base.org to learn from @ashdavies.dev, on managing state, business logic, and more with #CMP! www.meetup.com/berlindroid/...

How screwed would you be if you lost your Google Account today?? 1. Go to takeout.google.com and download a copy of everything, especially if you use Google Photos 2. Instead of using GMail directly, use your own domain and set up forwarding, you can do it for free with Cloudflare even

The official Android docs on test doubles are quite needed today. Please write fakes 🙏 , avoid mocks as possible. Assert output state, not behavior. Think of a program or a logical part of it as: input->output https://developer.android.com/training/testing/fundamentals/test-doubles

Screaming baby agrees to only shit on 15% of the bed, stressed parents described it as "a big deal, a huge deal" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

Also, we will have some amazing droidcon news to share. 🦾🥸👍

Metro wouldn’t be where it is without the road that Anvil paved before it. I’ve really enjoyed working with Joel and Jacob on several Metro features already, with @ralf-wondratschek.com in its early design phase, and really looking forward continuing to work with all of them. Future’s bright 🚇

Anvil is approaching the icebox, long live Metro. github.com/square/anvil...

This is big news https://github.com/square/anvil/issues/1149

When you get to the size of e.g. Amazon, anyone doing any actual work is beneath contempt, a grunt. You score points by getting others to do the work you want done, rather than doing it yourself. Even individual contributors need to be seen Leading (mostly, writing docs and presenting slides).

Pro Tip: If you're ever unable to reproduce a flaky test locally, add some additional logging statements, guaranteed never to fail again, especially if those logs might produce useful information.

Today, the Committee of @droidcon.bsky.social met at @soundcloud.dev HQ Thx for all the great submissions! It was a pleasure selecting! Expect first approvals going out soon! Thank you @gregfawson.bsky.social @ashdavies.dev @nicole-terc.bsky.social @bitpogo.bsky.social @segunfamisa.bsky.social ...

mDevCamp is one of my favourite EU conferences, awesome crowd, and an awesome city #Prague #mDevCamp

Better yet, just provide the option for a "Social URL", whatever that might be, specifically since many people have personal URLs or Federated profiles nowadays

I've just cleaned the aquarium to find the Shrimps have had a whole colony of baby shrimps 🦐♥️

HOW SHOULD THIS BE A SIGN FOR A URINAL?!

One does not simply wait until using airport Wi-Fi to perform a Gradle sync… Unless one does.

German politicians are just so carwashed. The Germany ticket is losing a million users after a price increase from 49 to 58 euros. Among young people between the ages of 14 and 29, the numbers have plummeted – by more than 36 percent. The price increase is pushing them back into their cars.

I appreciate that pensioners may not have the required dexterity for graffiti

I misconfigured a GitHub actions Terraform workflow, which promptly deleted the repository upon execution, unable to restore manually, how wonderful 😭

Pretty sure many Android devs are still around on this platform. Reply saying hi 👋 so everyone can find you. This will help people find a big bunch of colleagues to follow 👏👏 RT this for more reach! 🙏

It's pretty ironic, and fucking disguising that a country can celebrate 80 years since the liberation from national socialism, with literal fucking fascists in the Bundestag #Kriegsende #FCKAFD

I really was a PHP dev in my youth, we've all done things we were ashamed of in university
