Google Meet show how late people will be based on meeting history

Latest android studio is freezing a lot. I reported issues with data but I started to understand why some people just prefer Vim over GPU accelerated Terminal. I cannot stand this slowness anymore. (I am not going to use vim, yet)

I turned a leak investigation into a post on the Block eng blog to share a method that works well! It's a bit long... I had to show how to encode code knowledge to automate leak investigations, and dig even deeper with YourKit Java Profiler. engineering.block.xyz/blog/the-lea... #AndroidDev

A little friend and I made a short video about my talk at droidcon London. 🥰 youtube.com/shorts/5TCfZ...

Today I finished 20 weeks running program. I didn't notice it is about be done since running became enjoyable habit. But Garmin software is such a miss. There was no reminder, nor before and after comparison, Jo progress dashboard, no pre race warm-up and a regular training on race day

I was able to use Logitech MX3s for only a couple of hours until my wrist hurt. I can see it has quality but the holding angle and size are not comfortable.

Who doesn't love doing git bisect before code freeze to find issues. But R8 makes things slow and prevents me to enjoy investigation.

Just released v1.1.0 of my fork of 'encrypted-shared-preferences' 🚨 This version introduces a breaking change for API 21/22 users due to Tink's latest version bumping the minSdk to 23 🚨 Check out the release notes for more info github.com/ed-george/en...

After several attempts, I finally managed to release Whetstone to Maven Central. New release depends on Anvil 2.6.0 and Kotlin 2.1. It includes proguard generation similar to dagger as well.

GEMINI just told me that it will POST A QUESTION on Stackoverflow. What a nice human behaviour.

I learned the hard way why I had to unplug the chest heart sensor from the band, because it can rust and corrode. Now I have to figure out how to clean up and will it even work.

This is my best use of stickers.

Official KMP support for Firebase is requested a lot whenever we talk to developers. If you want to let the team at Google know, please vote for and add a comment on this issue explaining why you want to see this: firebase.uservoice.c...

Submit your talk to Droidcon Berlin till tomorrow!

It's all taking shape! Gratatouille 0.1.0 now has classloader caching and powers `nmcp`. I've been dogfooding it in a couple of plugins lately and I like how the pieces are coming together 🧩 github.com/GradleUp/gra...

GDE Summit in full swing! With @sinankozak.bsky.social #GDESummit2025

Google IO connect was a great opportunity to see friends.

In case you were unable to attend KotlinConf, the recording of the talk "APIs: How Hard Can They Be?" is now up: kotlinconf.com/talks/779171/

Did you know that Droidcon Berlin is later this year? But the work has started! And the Call for Papers is open!

I am moving into our Customer App team in the company. I will work with the bigger Foundation and Infra team. It has been 3 years since I worked on a Customer facing app. I am excited.

A reminder that if you *need* on-going Encrypted Shared Prefs support, I have my own fork that is being maintained with dependency updates and bug-fixes I have just pushed v1.0.2 this afternoon 🚀 github.com/ed-george/en...

Have you ever watched a @sinasamaki.com video? They’re incredibly well-crafted, full of meaningful motion and creative ideas... and we’ll chat with the man himself this Wednesday to find out how they come together! Spoiler: it’s fascinating stuff that you’re very familiar with ;)

Everyone talks about Apple 30% cut on the app store but no one mentions how Mercedes sells a mini game package like sudoku, puzzle... for 8.9 Euro per Month.

Does Material Expressive mean the end of the Material You? Or is it just an extension? Tbh I am not a fan of the some movement animations in Android 16.

Happy to see the final version of the Nav3 library. I was lucky to be part of the testing group. It feels much better than older apis android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/05/anno...

Great story from Block's engineering blog about how they use Compose Multiplatform to power their Bitkey app! engineering.block.xy...

Sunny balcony days started 🎉

I am happy with my Garmin watch but the app is a joke. The amount of buttons that stopped working recently is incredible. At the same time they want to try to sell subscriptions for ai. Like I will trust their software at all.

If you are debugging Gradle tasks and you need a bit of help, check out my post about some techniques for it www.liutikas.net/2025/05/01/E... #gradle

Android 16 finally adds official support for enabling certificate transparency within your apps 🎉🎉 Wondering what that is and why is that good news? Check out my latest blog post here: www.spght.dev/articles/21-... #AndroidDev

It is surprising to see that two of the most used car marketplace apps in Germany still have long splash screens with network operations.

When subtitles don't match the movie exactly, it is frustrating. But noticing the difference could be a sign that I can at least track what is being spoken in German.

OMG! REFY! THE THREAT IS REAL! I'll find a way to save you buddy! Hang in there I'll get you back one way or another at 14:30 by the first floor elevator!! @androidmakers.bsky.social #AMxDC25 P.s. someone is a flipping genius

Traderepublic is down again. I will pull all my money and stocks from there soon. They cannot handle the situation recently and that doesn't help any anxiety

The best marketplace apps for cars in Germany don't even handle notifications right. It says there is a price drop then lands you in the list instead of details. Also some don't show price history. That is when you have retention, it shouldn't be difficult.

For anyone that was following Pin-Droid account on the dead bird app, please now instead follow: bsky.app/profile/pin-... for all Pin-Droid related things!

Any marketplace app without free text search of description should be banned. Waste of time to read everything in every listing. I am sure their KPI are great about impressions and time spent.

It feels like a big leap to buy an EV when you don't have a charger at home or office. How do you charge, go to the charger and wait for hours?

I am looking to buy a new car. I think traditional brands are very confused about options and prices. Why are there 10 different engine options for the same car. Also why changing the base engine to the next increases is 5k. Is base engine free or something

The tram is replaced with buses and dedicated bus lanes, The bus is faster than the tram. I didn't expect that.

Having one and a half years old at home means I have to fix at least one thing every day. I do enjoy the challenge of all the broken things.

Looks like a silent layoff cycle has started after performance reviews. The software development job turned into one of the fragile career choices of recent years. People who cannot do planning or improve their teams also should be affected.

If you're running Macrobenchmark tests to compute interaction latencies, you should check whether the distribution of results is a normal distribution. If it's not normal, compare outlier traces with traces that are close to the median and you will find systemic perf issues! Thread 🧵 #AndroidDev
