    @yasmineevjen @Tusky Finally a home screen of only themed icons!

    A cropped screenshot of the bottom half of an Android home screen. It shows app icons in a 5 wide grid, all of them drawn in a monochrome palette of gray over a lime green circular background.

    @cecton@hachyderm.io you weren't rude at all, I understand the frustration completely :)

    Content warning: Layoffs

    Hey Google, there's a difference between 3% and a third.

    A collage of news stories with headlines that say Zomato is laying off 3-4% of its workforce, and Google's summary at the top reads "Zomato plans to lay off a third of its workforce"

    @drewinthedark @shanselman I just quit my job to take a mental health break and had these exact same worries for when I was ready again.

    It is scary that a lot of giants are cutting workforce massively, but you'll find less doom and gloom within the small and medium sized enterprise space.

    A common pattern among those doing layoffs is them overhiring for a future that wasn't meant to be, such as Meta losing ad revenue and Stripe/Shopify's pandemic growth spurt slowing down.

    You'll be fine!

    @matthewp That's correct. I think it makes more sense to think of this as a vanity or 'short' URL pointing to the real resource, which is your instance identity.

    @tkuenneth@snapp.social That's lovely to hear! Hope she makes a smooth and quick recovery <3

    Had a weird nightmare that I had exams again but I lost my admit card and couldn't secure a duplicate in time.

    Why brain, why.

    Having used the rather hefty Pixel 7 for the past couple weeks my Pixel 4a now feels like a toy lol

    Back to the regularly scheduled Ellie posting

    #Dogs

    A picture of my dog Ellie from inside our car. She is looking outside a half-opened rear passenger window with one paw on the top of the door and another on top of the window pane (I think that's the word?).

    @drew GitHub's macOS runners have been atrociously slow, at least for the past few weeks. Running the same task on Ubuntu/Win/Mac always ends in that order in terms of speed.

    @lehtimaeki @seb It's a screenshot of Seb's own profile (his username is in the toolbar) so I don't think it's faked.

    @seb That's amazing, congratulations!!

    @darryl_bayliss Tusky on Android has been great for me and the development team seems a lot more open to external opinions than the official Mastodon client's.

    @gossithedog the preview ruins the punchline but 10/10 execution regardless

    @yasmineevjen When you migrate it might take some time to sync your followers depending on your previous instance's load, otherwise I am not aware of any explicit downsides.

    @botteaap @lehtimaeki the maintainer also has forked a bunch of AndroidX libraries to remove AppCompat from them because they think AppCompat is useless beyond API 21.

    Finally taking the plunge and rebuilding my server on NixOS, no way this goes wrong right :thonk:

    @krossovochkin @friendlymike you can! Mastodon's official instructions here worked fine for me : docs.joinmastodon.org/user/mov

    You'll need to create your account here first then initiate migration. mastodon.social is under a lot of stress so your followers will take some time to sync.

    @cadey The main site has also been broken for me the past day. Their twimg CDN consistently returns a 504 when the web app tries to request additional JS bundles from it, which causes the website to keel over and die.

    @sasikanth It's a start but what I was really looking for was some pre-existing hosted solution that I could target rather than deploying my own backend. Though I've realized it'd be easiest to do it myself and have started brushing up on Ktor.

    I wish to add some form of synchronisation into my lobste.rs client (github.com/msfjarvis/compose-l) but I'm not quite sure how to go about it.

    What I need is to be able to have a per user list of links that I can perform basic CRUD operations against.

    Anyone in #AndroidDev have suggestions on what I can use for the backend? Firebase seems like the obvious choice but I'd be interested in alternatives too.
