way of dealing with work when it is hot: go from super hot subway platform to cold subway to frigid AC offices and keep working away.

way of dealing with work when it is hot: no AC anywhere, if it is too hot to work, go to the nearest body of water and spend the rest of the day swimming.

AI generated music is getting traction because they are basically exploiting a loophole in copyright laws, where AI systems can take human music and make it available in a way that looks like copyright laws do not apply 2/2

I don't think I'll ever see a good reason for generated . Music taps directly into emotions and human connection. There is already so much human-composed music out there that could be used instead of AI music. The problem is broken laws e.g. long terms, massive penalties, and applying a commercial regulation to all uses. 1/2

Google made it official that important apps like Messaging and Dialer are no longer maintained in the Android Open Source project. A free Android on its own is pretty much useless now.

I never understood why arugula was a food until I grew it. It is intense and bitter, why would people eat it? When you grow it yourself, you just throw down some seeds where it gets some rain during the winter. Then you get massive amounts of it in the spring, and it is all bug free. Without really doing anything. If I had to grow all my own food, then I think I would probably end up eating a lot of arugula. Plus it tastes better when its freshly picked, not just pure bitterness.

The time between the release of "bullseye" to "bookworm" was 1 year, 9 months, and 28 days. #ReleasingDebianBookworm #Debian12 #Debian

I will go one step further and say that calling an "unsafe app" by this standard is dishonest. It seems that some at also agreed, since the older version of that screen was honest: "Blocked by Play Protect" instead of "Unsafe app blocked". Looks like the team is still focused on protecting their , this time using scare tactics. 2/2

This screen that shows on when installing really bugs me. It is purely based on the integer value targetSdkVersion, without considering our security model, public audits results, track record over 10+ years, exclusive use of memory safe languages, or even what our code actually does. It is as if marked anything that comes from Google as containing ads and trackers. 1/2

Code review is an essential part of team maintenance of . It must be a conversation . Pushing code without review might feel like getting things done, but it creates a form of technical debt. The other maintainers have not taken in the new logic yet, and therefore cannot act on it. That can mean duplication of work or breakage, since the other developer was not aware of the new logic.

We believe that #FreeSoftware is the key to an accessible, open, transparent and diverse Internet that respects human rights in digital spaces.

While the images are built and tested, the FTP masters have been busily getting future suites ready for development so that our cycle can begin again. Say hello to Debian 13 'trixie'! #ReleasingDebianBookworm #DebianTrixie #Trixie

I really wonder what was behind the decision by to take the open source developer reference, that anyone could build themselves, and make it and only available online. Given all the other stuff that Google does, it is hard to see it as anything but a play for forced tracking of developers in combination with solidifying monopoly control over Android.

It used to be pretty easy to build a local copy of the developer docs. It was quite nice because it was super fast to navigate. I even made a package for the offline version. broke that back in Android 6.0 or so.

I vaguely recall something about "don't tax us, we need the money to invest in the clean-energy transition"

Why on earth does developer.android.com block connections now? It does seem like is aiming to collect ever more data on developers, maybe this is one thing they're doing to ensure they get decent IP data there.
