The auto update feature on Play Store is absolutely pathetic. I have apps that have updates released 78 days ago and still not auto updated.

I'm new to exploring keywords and been using Astro for exploring possibilities. Came across this, what do you think? Is it worth it? Or too difficult? #IndieDevs

No, I disable wildcard imports on all my projects. By flattening I mean I import all of the enum values, rather than having to define the type on each branch:

Build something useful, and your users will hang around

Maybe it's just me, but something doesn't add up to this 🤔

Damn this feels so good. Today I achieved the platinum trophy for #EldenRing. What a ride it has been, hands down the most incredible and rewarding game I've ever played! Now I have a LOT of free time on my hands!

This is something I notice _surprisingly_ often in code reviews and code snippets. LaunchedEffect lambdas are already suspended, there is no need to launch a new coroutine, unless your business requirements require a new isolated thread. Otherwise you're just wasting resources! #AndroidDev

After a week of lying around the house, loaded with flu, today I decided to get out and walk it off. It felt good getting some fresh crisp air in! Pretty cold today, but the forest walk was beautiful

And we are off! 1 MAJOR drawback is that the app does not give the option to input the weight of your joint. It tells me up front the est. cook time is 2hr 35min. I've only got 1.2kg of beef, I doubt I'll need to cook any more than 60 mins. Let's see! Still nice not needing to set a manual timer

He's referring to this icon, I believe. Hence the 3 "connected" dot

That's it. I've gone and done it. I've finally had enough of the trash talking and negativity. I'm officially done with X.

Still just getting warmed up here, but this is a nice collection of remarkable people to engage with! 👌🏻🚀

Taking a much needed break this week with a road trip to Kilkenny, Ireland, with the family! I always enjoy getting down south of the Island when I get the chance!
