I don't understand Apex Legends at all and this is coming from someone who plays Valorant on the daily

@marcogom users can't discover an app that never goes live :P

@marcogom I feel Entertainment is a better fit since the app doesn't technically deal in the delivery of *news* specifically. Worked for me when I built a client app for https://lobste.rs which does relay news from time-to-time.

@kdrag0n Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have a personal need for OrbStack but I'll ask the people on our backend teams if they'd be interested in testing it out.

@kdrag0n I was showing off OrbStack to a few colleagues and one of them asked if it used https://github.com/machyve/xhyve or the macOS hypervisor directly, is that something you can say yet?

One day I will stop falling for the `for x in Iterable` vs `for x of Iterable` trap in #JavaScript but today is not that day.

Finally started watching #StarWars Andor, not disappointed in the slightest!

YouTube's greatest misfeature is treating all downloaded videos as part of a playlist which means if you fall asleep watching one video, YouTube will autoplay all videos you've downloaded and run down your battery 🫡

@fasterthanlime@octodon.social I think something like this solves the problem

This weekend is going to be a whirlwind trip to Varanasi and Allahabad for a cousin's wedding, best I can do is pray for my sanity during the ordeal...

@sasikanth 😭

Since I've started being more consistent with exercising I've found I'm quite exhausted by 7-8 PM but my brain is hard wired to not let me sleep till 12 AM at the earliest so it's been a rough few weeks trying to find a good sleep schedule. Hopefully I can change a few more habits and figure this out 😅

Super cool web app that you can use to go through your following list and pare it down if your timeline has become a bit of a mess.

@TartanLlama Oh I have so missed your sweet face Marshmallow!

@fasterthanlime@octodon.social The -1 on your reply is really the cherry on the top

@Gradle 8.0 is out

- Now uses Kotlin 1.8
- New interpreter for plugins block to speed up configuration
- buildSrc no longer runs tests by default and can now include other builds

And a lot more!

#AndroidDev

@mattro @chrishorner It will, but you should be able to find Google's Clock app on the Play Store. Try this link?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.deskclock

@osfanbuff63 It's linked near the bottom of this post where he introduces the concept https://research.swtch.com/telemetry-intro

Russ Cox appears to have started the discussion on telemetry in the Go compiler and made an excellent case for it, so naturally I can't wait for FOSS nerds on HN and GitHub to shit on it without reading any of the associated writing he put out.

#Kotlin 1.8.20-beta is now out with a ton of fixes to the K2 compiler, as well as initial support for WASI in the Kotlin/WASM target and for `@Volatile` in Kotlin/Native.

#AndroidDev

https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/releases/tag/v1.8.20-Beta

#Gradle 8.0 RC3 is out with another round of bugfixes.

Among other things, this release upgrades the embedded #Kotlin to 1.8.10, which includes the fix for the metaspace leak that was causing build failures for a lot of Kotlin 1.8.x users.

https://github.com/gradle/gradle/releases/tag/v8.0.0-RC3

A #Kotlin 1.8.10 compatible #JetpackCompose compiler is now available in the AndroidX snapshots repo!

@zkat That is vile

1 year too late but finally watching https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g

@friendlymike Having very recently gone through the job hunt grinder myself, I feel this so much baha. Wishing for the best outcome for you!

Note to self: do not duo queue Valorant on the Mumbai server ever again

@zkat Yeah I don't think there's any good solutions for this other than using Camino and outright disallowing non-UTF-8 paths which sounds like something that isn't an option for you.

#Kotlin 1.8.10 was just released with a bunch of bug fixes, a big one among those is a Metaspace leak that caused the memory usage of Dokka and Gradle 8.0 RCs to significantly increase compared to Kotlin 1.7.x

@Gankra I moved a bunch of my projects to cargo dist yesterday and all of them worked perfectly, thanks for this!

@melix @yawkat I'd love to read about this, it's obvious in hindsight but the idea of synthetic projects would've never crossed my mind :D

Just tried out the cargo-dist tool @Gankra has been working on, very impressed with how easy this was to set up. The "Way-Too-Quick Start" absolutely did what it said on the tin!

https://github.com/msfjarvis/twt/releases/tag/v1.0.3

@keyboardsurfer Awesome, thanks!

@keyboardsurfer Is AGP 8 a hard requirement for using the API?

Reported an issue I spotted in @elk, sadly I lack both the temperament and time to learn enough webdev to fix this so I'll let the lovely contributors give it a shot.

https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/issues/1536

@yosh @oli ah, your link was indeed correct. The canary version of Elk seems to incorrectly replace the ampersand in the query parameters with a URL-escaped `&` which broke the link. I'll report it to them, sorry for the noise!

@yosh @oli Wrong playground link? I'm not seeing any wakers :D

I kinda wish I wasn't terminally online because the internet is legit giving me brainworms right now

@sasikanth Done https://github.com/msasikanth/android-resource-poet/issues/2

@sasikanth Looks great! How about including an extra override that works like this? This feels a tad more natural to me.

```
string("app_name") {
value = "Derp
}
```

I wish I was more than a re-toot bot on here but there's just much more interesting things happening on my timeline than my life lol

@tkuenneth@snapp.social I don't think this really makes sense for Accompanist, it's a bit too small for its own artifact and doesn't fit into any existing one.

@tkuenneth@snapp.social This is definitely the right behaviour, though sadly there is no convenience utility for this yet.

@ekuber Echoing pyro's sentiments, I'd probably get used to it but it would very much feel awkward and forced since no other language I've worked with has anything remotely close.

Somehow ended up with the job of migrating the XML export of one HR tool to the CSV format of another, which ordinarily wouldn't suck if the latter didn't require you to submit that CSV to their support team for importing...

Qodana seems quite interesting

https://github.com/JetBrains/Qodana/discussions/150

That was an enjoyable upgrade https://github.com/msfjarvis/compose-lobsters/commit/540ea7ba4398

Lots of exciting things in the #Kotlin Serialization 1.5.0-RC release!

- Support for JSON naming strategies
- ProGuard/R8 rules now come bundled with the artifact
- serializer function is now stable

https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/releases/tag/v1.5.0-RC

@fasterthanlime@octodon.social Congrats! On that note, some of the color contrast bugs you saw are frequently caused by MIUI's force dark feature, so turning it off could improve your experience in the mean time.

Edit: this is unrelated to the app state becoming weird when *toggling* dark mode, that is a more general problem that takes effort for Android apps to get right.

Every layoff announcement I read feels like the submission to a contest for most inhumane leadership

Trying out https://garnix.io/ for my #Nix projects and so far I am very much loving it, their build target auto-discovery hasn't let me down yet and the dashboard is minimal yet functional. Also seems to be much, much faster than doing things manually on the default GitHub Actions runners. Strongly recommended!
