iOS will natively let you select the text, as it does ocr on ever image. Maybe Android does the same.

There’s always things to improve or to add. Road surfaces, benches, trash bins, table tennis spots, etc. StreetComplete on Android helps make some common tasks really easy to do.

Well it was already very late in the day (21-22?) so the impact was not big I would say

I know that people are joking, but of course we also have (extra paid) on call shifts.

99.5% want to. Not something that will change.

My old mac was supposed to be donated to some place, but they had forgotten me to tell the iCloud lock is still on there. They wrote me on LinkedIn and as they were a good employer, I did unlock it

I developed Android apps for an EV charging platform for 5 years. Now working for Mapbox to integrate a navigation app into cars. Quite complex environment. Most Android topics are exactly the same as on a phone, it’s quite fun though because your app can control car functionality

This is about 3 people in a meeting room joining with their laptops, without a meeting room audio setup (or it being bad)

Probably just above normal b2c backup services, and below company requirements

Syncthing will do a 1 to 1 connection if possible, else it will use a relay server. Traffic is encrypted. Open source. After the initial setup of marrying the devices together, it's just a matter of starting the application. Pretty much what you want?

Do you need a CDN for a static html, no images? I would guess no, even if you.are being bombarded with requests

I really hate my bakery, the buns are only edible for some days, after that, they grow mold!

Without sarcasm, it is entirely reasonable that when the OS is EOL by the 1st party, software support for it by 3rd party also ends soon after that.

On Android you can use split screen apps. Either some apps are broken (including some I was part of writing...) or it's really annoying to put in text when both apps are open. It's really just useless almost alway

It doesn't exist, because it's complex to set up and up until 5 years ago almost no one wanted to do this. Now some people want to do it, and they can use an Employer of Record via facilitating companies. But the visa situation will probably still be difficult, it's pretty much a gap

I was scrolling and scrolling, waiting for the author to mention the new methods, which of course every Android Dev had to migrate to at some point. And 99% of us probably thought how annoying this change is, even though it probably reduced the number of bugs for Turkish users :)

Unrelated, but a month ago I found a weird behaviour where in a kotlin scratch file, `List.isEmpty()` is always true. Questioned my sanity for at least an hour there... https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-35551/

You can do this in software, I tried it a few times with games and just other stuff ~10 years ago. Why would it have to be a hardware solution?

I am pretty sure governments around the world want it to be cheaper, but at the same time know that it must be very strictly regulated. Even if that makes it pricier, one can't call that "fake costs".

Also, it takes decades to build them, very often then also getting delayed. Why even consider it nowadays?

I used to say the same, but now I have to use Slack + Gmail + Meet + Google Calendar + Drive + whatever else Google has.

All of this has integrations into each other. Somehow a slack bot can show me calendar entries. Why I would even need such a broken UI/experience is unclear to me. I can't see when people usually work. Meet chats disappear once the meeting is over.

At Teams/Outlook you have a million other issues, but all things considered, I preferred it.

Tried the Fold on a Google event and it was really nice. I would get one, but I don't want to spend so much money.

MasterCard leaked address + full credit card data about 90.000 people in Germany. Everyone that signed up for a lawyer (that was paid 15% of a possible payout) got 250-300€, including me. If only 10.000 signed up, it's already 2.5 millions.
