Google went from “don’t be evil” to “help commit genocide or you’re fired”.

@ivory why do I have to follow a hashtag before I can filter it out? These seem like opposite actions. I have a bunch of hashtag filters configured via the web interface as keyword filters, no follow requires.

The most annoying thing about @ivory for me is that, immediately after posting, it’s very hard to find the post. There’s also no status indication anywhere that a post is uploading or failed. Tapping on the “posted notification” doesn’t seem to do anything. It doesn’t show up on your profile page if you already loaded that screen recently and I can’t figure out how to force it to refresh (pulling just makes the header photo bigger, which seems useless?).

Glad to see Samsung is not only still shipping tons of corporate bloatware, but helpfully grouping it by corporation. How are these the best-selling phones??

IIRC, 1Password 8 was all hyped up because they used some sort of xplat code sharing thing. It’s also when the UI got hella buggy, and it’s only really gotten worse as far as I can tell. Interesting

I think you should be allowed to review your own code if you leave it for 2 or more weeks and come back to it. If you can still figure out what the hell it does, it must be 👍

Question for Android devs at companies that make their own design system libraries (e.g. alternatives to, or in addition to, Material):

How many distinct components do you ship?

Ballpark is fine. Can be Compose or View components. E.g. button, FAB, text field, icon, picker, etc.

Boosts for reach appreciated!

The new watchOS is really pretty.

Favorite unexpected new feature is that the watch can now initiate airplay sessions. Finally I can be in bed without my phone and play some sleepy tunes on my HomePods.

Setting up my cadence sensor was very smooth too. Paired in Bluetooth settings and then it just automatically worked on my next cycling workout. Almost too easy. I did have to customize a workout view to show the data live though.

Just processed a small backlog of androiddev.social requests – apologies for the delay! I just realized I'd turned off email notifications for that stuff, so will try to be better about this going forward :friendlyRobot:

The @verge: Mastodon is dead now that they’ve leaned into main mastodon.social instance. They’re just another centralized service.

Meanwhile, some favorites from a recent toot of mine:
