OVpay: "We updated the app, you need to change the password" Me: 🤨 have y'all been hacked OVpay: "Oh yeah, possibly unrelated but this app is made in .Net MAUI" Me: lol can't tell if incompetence or what

When the GitHub CI log for the current step you've just added is so large it crashes the tab

I don't know who I am nerd sniping with this, but: would it technically be possible to have motion blur in Compose UI? ...maybe with a custom renderer? Damn. Would be real nice with @bnorm.dev's github.com/bnorm/storyb...

Just a few more weeks for our DevFest Milano 😎 It's gonna be the 11th of October and we have some amazing speakers coming! The final agenda is now live at

I am human (but also, thanks dev console)

When you forget your shader sample running overnight

Android Studio Otter.

Ends TODAY at 3 PM CEST (in less than 3h!)

A terminal command that tells you if your USB-C cable is bad. kau.sh/blog/usbi/

Nothing like going back home from a stroll downtown to find your lovely neighbours are hammering and drilling shit in their flat for the third day in a row

It's very very weird feeling like one can't really say what they think out loud because they have a work trip coming up to a certain country and free speech has consequences in said country these days

🟢 @benkadel.com takes Git investigations to the next level at Droidcon Italy 2024, the most entertaining talk you've ever seen! 🕵️‍♂️ How do you catch a bug hiding deep in your commit history? 🔎 Talk: “Crime Scene InvestiGITor: How to Investigate Like a Pro!” 🔗 youtu.be/bSXU6ixbkrU 👈🏻

Love the orange, hate the Temu Pixel ripoff design

Some Kotlin highlighting bug in @compiler-explorer.com sent me down a rabbit whole of formal grammars, lexers and contributing to tools I use daily. flofriday.dev/posts/50-sha...

Finally got around to updating my blog to @ghost.org 6.0. It was rather painless — now I'm looking forward for Docker deployment to get out of preview in 7.0, so I can enable social web integration and privacy-preserving analytics :) blog.sebastiano.dev

This matches my experience: those of us who spent the pre-LLM years building ML models + GANs see genAI in a different light. We have a clearer view of what is/isn't possible, so we're less likely to throw it at every imaginable task expecting a breakthrough. #dataBS www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-a...

Wondering when Code with the Italians will be back? Wonder no more! We'll be streaming on October 8th at the usual time. Our first guest is Zac Sweers, talking about Metro 🚇

We launched the Androidify app on Google Play! Download it now, and create your very own custom Android bot ❤️ I've had loads of fun creating and testing the app - now you can too! play.google.com/store/apps/d... #Androidify

There's 4 social networks these days that have 100% unapologetically converted into propaganda channels and should have been unequivocally blocked years ago. This failure will haunt humanity for decades. Mark my words.

People now get product recommendations from chatbots and AI agents that shop for you are next. Retailers are scrambling to optimize for this via SEO, but the endgame is clear. Sponsored results baked into chatbot replies, just like Amazon’s sponsored results. You can’t escape ads.

This codelab is really good! I'm going to comment on a few things, but other than those, this is a way better than what I've seen before! #AndroidDev

We’re testing a landing page for a JetBrains product – and you can help shape it! 🎁 Everyone who completes the task with meaningful input gets a reward 🎥 You’ll need to record your screen and voice (desktop only) 👉 Start with a quick eligibility survey: https://jb.gg/21w94y

Bezier paths are pure magic ✨. This animation appears when your friends interact: smooth curves, vibrant gradient, particles dancing along the curve, sleek 3d effect. All made possible by the power of Bezier paths bringing UI to life.

How is the Android ecosystem changing? The tags in the @droidcon.bsky.social London CfP submissions paint a very interesting picture! (bars represent actual counts, so both years are on the same scale) Some quick analysis in follow-ups

This is a really, really good post. Thanks, Zac

The senior developer you admire was once a beginner who Googled how to add a click listener and then copied the answer from StackOverflow. They’re not smarter than you, just further ahead.

It's a tough choice between playing Battlefield 6 and rating @droidcon.bsky.social London submissions... But, duty calls

Accelerating development with monthly releases for Android Studio - releasing 2X more often than before android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/acce...

Last call!

[PSA] Droidcon London CfP closes tomorrow at 23:59 UK time. Submit a talk! I'd love to see y'all there sessionize.com/droidcon-lon...

Jetpack Compose 1.9 is out and comes with a lot of great new APIs: outer/inner shadows, new visibility modifiers, a new prefetching behavior to improve scrolling performance in lazy layouts, etc. android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/what...

🧊 3D cube in #JetpackCompose No model, just some matrix transformations applied on the UI Cooking this for my #Shipaton project

It's funny because it's true.

I'm so happy I don't have to deal with the utter lunacy that are version ranges and lock files

@francescocosta.bsky.social hai appena convinto la mia compagna ad aprire un fondo pensione, grazie!

This sounds like a roaringly completable adventure www.avibagla.com/blueskydicti...

i genuinely think that part of the problem is people don’t have the mental model for how the “chat bubbles” map to autocomplete it doesn’t help that the chat interfaces actively hide what’s going on and make the illusion opaque

This is a fantastic post. distantprovince.by/p...

I would be ashamed not to stand up for trans folks, not just because there are trans folks I like and love, but because everyone should get to live with the same personal freedom and dignity I get simply for existing. Who are we if we do not wish for others every right and privilege we have.

If you do, I would recommend using your own Gemini key to get a larger context (1m tokens) developer.android.com/studio/previ... And yes, there is a rather generous free tier for the Gemini APIs, too ai.google.dev/gemini-api/d...

In case you were still using any service owned by Bending Spoons (or any other private equity), I'd recommend seeking alternatives
