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

One underrated improvement Metro brings is its easy setup. No more configuring KAPT, runtime modules, keeping versions in sync, etc. You apply the Gradle plugin, setup a tiny graph and the rest is driven through constructor injection, @ContributesBinding and its other features. This was all I needed

damn. I love compose. it's incredible how easy it makes ui work

At least 5 times everyday it surprises me that "just copy the implementation and tweak it for your user case" is a feature of jetpack compose and not a bug 😔

📣 The testing documentation has received a major update! Opinionated testing strategies, screenshot testing, performance tests, flakiness, Robolectric and large screens! I published a summary here -> medium.com/androiddevel...

A 🧵 announcement: With the Jetpack Compose 1.8. beta01 release, you may notice that a significant number of APIs that were previously experimental, have been graduated to stable.

Maybe they need a diagram to cut through their cowardice.

Lord I am seeing what you have done for others

idk how long Berlin will keep allowing this wild NYE fireworks behaviour. it's horrible

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Odd how useless TVs have become in most hotels. You have a nice and big screen that has a few TV channels - which I never want to watch. And yet no streaming apps (that I’d use). Screen mirroring from iPhone doesn’t work (that I’d also use). Wonder when this will change.

#Chicory 1.0.0 landed today, here's @andreatp.bsky.social celebrative blog post featured on #JavaAdvent. Want to run #Wasm on the JVM? You might want to check this out www.javaadvent.com/2024/12/wasm...

It’s this kind of garbage that makes me feel that setting up @snappautomotive.snapp.social was the right thing to do. Now all we need is for manufacturers to have the courage to engage with smaller companies and not sit in the loop of existing processes that ships this junk to customers.

Exactly my kind of nerdery www.codingfont.com

Fellow Berliners, have you ever tried the DHL sex position? You stay in all day and nobody comes.

Here's a fun #AndroidDev architecture design problem: Implement a slider that edits state that is stored on disk. I think working through this task can reveal a lot of insight for why building great UI around asynchronous tasks can inherently be tricky and how tradeoffs are necessary.

Dealing with loss sucks.

Oh hey, I actually have something to post - we recently released KotlinPoet 2.0! code.cash.app/kotlinpoet-2...

I will never get over the sheer brilliance that is #Arcane 🥹

You were saying?

“yOu NeEd tO gRoW oUt Of GaMiNg” Listen… I don’t drink I don’t smoke I BARELY do cocaine Pretty sure I could do plenty of worse things with my time and money than playing video games
