Another issue, another set of uncomfortable questions. Time time, they are about the proposed Android developer verification program: commonsware.com/blog/2025/08... #AndroidDev

This touch press ripple not centering on the icon bothers me way too much, not to mention the resulting share.google link.

A Mapleseed rifleman path attached to a bag. The  patch has the word Rifleman at the top, and in a light green square on a dark green background lies a red maple leaf.

Took part in my first Project Mapleseed today and managed to qualify and earn my Rifleman patch. Not easy, but a lot of fun. I'm definitely going to feel it tomorrow.

I developed apps for BB10 back before it launched, on pre-release hardware. It was such a nice platform to develop for - I'd go back to it in an instant.

Got a notification of an unusual but successful login to my Microsoft account. This is strange as it was definitely not a password that was reused, and had 2fa enabled. Any recent news about any MS data breaches?

Can we also keep in mind that while Zelenskyy like Churchill 1940-45 postponed elections, Trump in peacetime tried to overturn by violence an election he lost - and has since pardoned all the co-conspirators in his attempted coup?

i've never actually seen Severance, but from what i've heard online, it seems to deal with the outlandish, science fiction premise of "what if you worked at Accenture?"

The Premier and the Health Minister must step aside during the investigation into the allegations of corruption.

Albertans deserve a fair and transparent investigation.

Albertans deserve better.

@monzo.com it's been a few years since I was able to use it, but why is your app 318MB now? Are you bundling sections of Wikipedia with it?
