"Love it or hate it, it’s hard to deny how easy (relatively speaking) it is in React to develop two apps with a single codebase. React Native has been around since about 2015, and if you’ve been in the accessibility space, you’ve probably heard some warnings to not use it due to a lack of accessibility customization or remediation paths."
A nerd nostalgia thread of possible #RetroComputing interest:
From 1993-1994, I was a “technical assistant” in the RF Engineering department of #Comcast#Cellular. Back then, Comcast was a scrappy regional cable #TV operator making its first foray into #mobile telephony, not the multinational #telecommunications and media behemoth we know today. (1/6)
I had previously whipped up an #Excel#VisualBasic for Applications (#VBA) Erlang B function to calculate #cellular tower quality of service (#QoS), so my other big project was modeling #Comcast Cellular’s network call capacity for an overdue upgrade from the (analog!) #1980s-era Advanced #Mobile Phone System (AMPS).
My first corporate #programming lesson: toy code will be expanded regardless of scalability. (4/6)
IIRC, any given AMPS antenna could only handle about 400 #mobile phone calls at once, and there were usually three antennae spanning the 360º around a #cellular tower. Busy areas often dropped phone calls as users were handed off between antennae.
Hmm, the #Wikipedia inverse Erlang-B #VisualBasic function bears a striking resemblance to my 1994 code… (5/6)

Linux kernel becoming their own CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) is wasting resources they'd have previously put towards higher quantity and quality backporting. We've noticed a drop in both for the stable/longterm branches and particularly Android Generic Kernel Image LTS branches.

@iHarbonaut shares mock-ups with #GTW of a cancelled Super Monkey Ball game that was intended for a #mobile#J2ME release in 2006. For reasons unknown, the game seems to have been cancelled very early on and may not have got past the concept stage. https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/2024/05/super-monkey-ball/
🦾 ARM / Snapdragon X Elite on laptops with Linux :linux:
Qualcomm has been working to upstream Linux support for this high-end "System on a Chip" device asset!
◉Snapdragon X Elite is a bit of a momentum for ARM powered processing
◉Upon success it'll disrupt the x86-processor (e.g. Intel dominated market)
◉One of ARM's benefits is great battery life
» @signalapp Chefin kritisiert Karners Entwurf zu Messenger-Überwachung:
Die Regierung will Messenger-Dienste stärker überwachen. Wenn man im Datenschutz eine Tür öffnet, öffne man sie für alle, warnt @Mer__edith «
…und doch wollen mir Menschen immer wieder beibringen, dass die nichts zu verbergen haben. Eine Auswirkung von der Übernahme von deren mentalen Wahrnehmung und Privatsphäre, was ich als sehr übel empfinde.
🧵 …ausführliche Informationen über sichere online Kommunikation, auch Infos von der @Mer__edith vom @signalapp, könnt ihr auf der @epicenter_academy Webseite nachlesen:

Viele Stellen interessieren sich für unsere private Kommunikation. In diesem Kapitel erfährst du, mit welchen Maßnahmen du die digitale Kommunikation sicherer gestalten kannst.«
#TMobile USA sends mobile phone usage data to #PushSpring, which T-Mobile acquired in 2019.
T-Mobile assigns a unique ad ID to your cellphone and gathers app usage data.
To opt out and remove all data of you, there's an app - "magenta advertisements platform".
For me it's horrible that they do so without telling and that the app is somewhere hidden - no one would come up with that name!
