It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

@sebastiano.dev only you would know this, but how can I get/use/find the yellow blob emojis?

No rush or anything, it's just a life or death situation. Or maybe cake or death, can't remember

Out of the many options for navigation in a multiplatform context, what would the obvious choice be if you want something stable and "feature complete"? And are there any of the options which makes navigating "behave natively" on iOS specifically?

Driving miss Daisy down to the head office. @hellman.io has been taking meetings for an hour so far, effectively preventing me from playing my shit music.

Kinda rude, probably homophobic*

I need recommendations for a new song, suitable for repeat listening until the dopamine rewards taper off.

My new year's resolution is to not buy a single thing from Amazon. Killing prime membership as the first step.

I'm so grass-roots today

Using the mangle* in our communal laundry** made me realize that there's been little to no innovation, or technological advancement in the 40 years since I last used one. In fact, making it electric just made it more failure prone.

Hiring ancient developers like myself will ensure your UI scales well enough to encompass accessibility-resized text.

Ignoring the need for glasses once your vision degrades, means scaling up the text.

Apps are awful at handling this.

Bsky Notification deeplinks are broken on Android. Maybe time for some automated ui tests on the merge-to-main pipeline :)

I'd like to say I've done loads of CMP the last few days, but in reality I've just done compose in a project with a messier gradle setup.

About living in Sweden:

👍 -> social welfare system
👎 -> "what's new in Pixel" showing Pixel Studio and fun new stickers you can make for GBoard. If you live in X, Y or Z markets. Classic Google.

Just don't show me "the fun things" if you're not going to let me use them.

Anyone watching Hacks? It's amazing, first show in a long while to keep me entertained.

I want Jean Smart to narrate my life and insult my life choices.

First batch of fudge made, from some marshmallow Santa's. Very pink. Next is salt liquorice fudge from ground up "turkisk peppar"
