Can't really beat Purelymail on the price to reliability ratio.
@botteaap yeah Moshidon has been stuck in a bit of development hell with rebasing to the current Mastodon app codebase, there's progress on the rewrite branch but I don't expect a release anytime soon. Personally I ended up on Phanpy (https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy) which has been great for 6 or so months I've been using it. Notifications not being instant is the only downside I've noticed but I don't care for them anyway so I just disabled it.
This Thursday has felt entirely too much like a Friday, absolutely not looking forward to work tomorrow. At least I don't have to be in the office.
@soatok even at face value, at least Signal made the fix instead of saying it's too low priority to care about lol
Boxy wins the speaker bio competition by a landslide.
Jokes aside, stellar lineup of speakers! Hopefully there will be a livestream to tune into 🤞
_Surely_ it gets to the Pixel 8 by the time Android 17 is finalized
The Cyberstan invasion has been going great

The 1 hour meeting today is going to be ROUGH
Was planning to sleep somewhat early today but I ended up coming across my pile of KOReader related links, so long story short my Kobo is now set up with KOReader and a bunch of plugins but it's 2:30 AM now.
Getting a nice veggie chopper might've been the best health decision I've taken outside going to the gym 5 days a week. It took more time today for me to air fry leftover tortillas to make nachos than it did to prep the big pile of homemade salsa I ate it with. Here's to copious amounts of fiber in my diet going forward :blobChefKiss:
The myth of meritocracy
Slowly realising that the only way to have anything non-Google for #WearOS is to build it myself
@shinmera you're cooking, keep going
New #weeknotes! Back in the office, and making burritos (badly)
Pushed a new release of Claw, my Android client for @lobsters with a handful of UX improvements and fixes for known crashes and other bugs.

@QuietMisdreavus Does the `caffeinate -s` trick not work for games? https://ss64.com/mac/caffeinate.html
This would be 20 times easier if I would just use Cloudflare

Was trying to resolve this by filtering it in Caddy w/ MaxMind and instead of the countries I tried to block it blocked me instead lol
(yes I filed a bug)
RE: https://androiddev.social/@androidfaithful/116065035910432363
Updated to the beta and I've already had SystemUI crash on me once <3
Does America only do beans in cans?? Do y'all not have raw beans that you gotta actually cook? I am so confused by literally every recipe only measuring beans in cans
Already feeling the itch to write something for WearOS...

Pretty quick turnaround from Google and Blue Dart, just got the replacement unit!
@dankim congrats!!
This is precisely how I ended up focusing more on build and automation in the past few years because that was the only viable way for me to continue having visible impact.
Even when I was working at Obvious in a purely UI and product driven role as a consultant it was very hard to get buy in from companies who were literally paying for us to work on their Android apps and UIs.
Is #GitHub struggling right now?
Finally got the Pixel Watch on its way back to Google, hopefully the replacement arrives quickly as well.
Finally back in Bengaluru and posting the #weeknote at a reasonable time :D

Achievement unlocked: Be away from my primary residence long enough to be logged out of GitHub
RE: https://androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/116027769470443879
Made it back in one piece
Could've done better on the plane back home 🫣
Managed to steal enough time to finish off this monster but only now realized that I don't have the next part and it's not on the Kobo store either so I have to wait till Saturday to buy it from somewhere else.

Another short and quick #weeknote as I spend my days offline.
RE: https://androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/115969221316717140
Blocked the vibecoding tag and uBlock'd out the inbox button on Lobsters, never going to bother again.
Forever mad about software sorting file names as 1-10-2 instead of 1-2-3
Quickly learning my lesson to not get involved in the middle of Cloudflare deservedly getting negative press because saying "trolling this one person is not helpful" gets labelled as "damage control".
Rare gem from the YouTube algorithm, a super insightful video on what makes an effective science communicator.
I feel I woke up to an entirely different Fediverse today, what the hell is #Monsterdon
Discovered Snowflake by @torproject today, super cool application of WebRTC technologies. Needless to say I have it installed on all my desktops now :)
Published my #weeknote for week 4, not much excitement happening while I'm home so it's a bit on the shorter side.

@bodil I haven't tested it myself but the docs indicate that if the string is in the prompt it should trigger a refusal from the API.
@SylvieLorxu I see you've also learned this the hard way :'D
@botteaap yeah that's a hard problem to solve, I personally use git-absorb for it but in my case the changes are across multiple commits rather than unstaged.
@kiranrao @botteaap It's been supported for a few months
@botteaap what do you mean by "partial commit"?
@Edent it opens my search engine since the colon isn't the regular character used in URLs
@Edent @sil Was able to copy it in Firefox 149.0a1 on Linux
