Hello @bsky.app, could you use session tokens that last more than a few hours? I'm tired of logging back in to your Android app every day.

I hate to see so many professional tools now offering "AI summaries" which create noise and zero added value.
LLMs are unable to summarize because they don't understand the content or the context, they're only able to produce arbitrary shorter text.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.
Denise C. @SpudBenBean · Follow A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat. The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.

I just published a new article, 'Understanding the internals of Flow, StateFlow, and SharedFlow'.

In this article, you’ll dive deep into the internal mechanisms of Flow, StateFlow, and SharedFlow, exploring how they work under the hood.

✨ New article on how to create futuristic, cyberpunk glitch effects that's overused in sci-fi movies, right in #JetpackCompose

This approach uses regular canvas functions, so no need to dip into shader code... yet.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

I just checked the new SNCB/NMBS tariffs: they made everything complicated to hide that you're going to pay more if you don't take the train frequently.
Example: the week-end ticket used to give you 50% discount, now you have to pay for a card that gives you 40% discount on week-ends. 🤔
