3) Microsoft management forced GitHub engineers to rewrite the UI in react, leading to worse and worse performance over time. Testimony of one of them: muan.co/posts/javasc...
4) GitHub still does not support IPv6 in 2025.

GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. Thomas Dohmke wrote that humans are often resistant to change. He said that's okay, but these people should probably find another profession.

Here are 4 reasons not to use GitHub; I'm sure there are more:
1) GitHub's new CEO threatens its users to embrace AI, or else: www.businessinsider.com/github-ceo-d...
2) GitHub is owned by Microsoft who supports Israel in its destruction of Palestine: www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2025...

Ils ont eu 1 an pour tester le support d'Android 15, la date limite pour le changement étant fin de ce mois. Les problèmes sont visibles depuis le premier écran, je n'en reviens pas que personne n'ai pensé à lancer l'app sur Android 15 après avoir fait le changement.

Here's what happens when the Belgian train company forgets to test their Android app after changing the target SDK to 35:

Only until Google deprecates everything and releases AndroidY

Post-vérité: utiliser les termes "faits" et "opinions" dans la même phrase comme s'ils étaient synonymes

And I want to put ads in a tech CEO, see Black Mirror S07E01

"Please make your app compatible with edge-to-edge and 16KB pages devices, write and publish privacy policies and fill all these compliance forms if you want it to be available on our store where nobody can find it."

I just sent this letter to the alumni office at Columbia University. I hope they receive many letters like this over the coming days.

A story in two acts:

Anvil Moves to Maintenance Mode · Issue #1149 · square/anvil Hey all! We wanted to share an update on the state and future of Anvil. We previously published a roadmap covering the major work we had planned, including K2 support and making Anvil a standalone ...

This is big news https://github.com/square/anvil/issues/1149

Maybe it's time to deprecate it?

I stopped using the 4a when software updates ended but I was planning to use it again with an alternative firmware because I don't like the newer bigger models.
My brother on the other hand was using his phone when his battery died a few days ago...

💯 Agreed, we should go back to swappable batteries as the standard and not the exception. I don't mind a slightly thicker phone.

If you needed another reason to call them swasticars

A mess of its own making: Google nerfs second Pixel phone battery this year People don’t upgrade phones every year anymore—longevity matters.

I own a Pixel 4a and my brother a Pixel 6a. Google is killing both of them with software mitigations for battery issues 🔥:

So is INTEGEREAL integer or real?

Fake website servic welcome page. text reads: "Your favorite tool is now ruined by AI" "you might not like it but shareholders love it"

I'm quite impressed by the Radeon 9060 XT, and it turns out that manually lowering its max TDP by 20% makes it even more efficient, retaining 95% of the performance while being whisper quiet.

Windows has become the Idiocracy meme where a guy watches TV but there's ads around the video.

Paint has sign-in and ai.
Notepad has sign-in and ai.
Start menu is just a big ad space.
It auto-installs sponsored apps like Linkedin

This system costs $199. You paid for it, even if it came with the PC

"Rich Errors in Kotlin” – the KotlinConf’25 talk by Michail Zarečenskij is now live on our YouTube channel! 🎉📺

Discover how Kotlin’s nullability model can be generalized to restricted union types for better error handling.

👉 Watch the full video: kotl.in/richerrors

There are two modes, native mode and transpiling mode.
Transpiling mode generates Kotlin, then you have to know how Jetpack Compose works to debug it.
Native mode generates Swift, but the FAQ clearly states that debugging Swift on Android is harder than using Android's debugging tools.

The problem with this kind of tool is that the Swift code will debug just fine on iOS but good luck debugging the Swift-to-Kotlin generated code on Android.

Compared to Compose Android-only built-in HTML support:
- It supports color transparency
- It supports all named CSS colors
- It supports colors for all inline HTML tags
- Colors can be disabled
- Parsing is ~ 5x faster.

Version 1.1.0 of my library HTML Converter for Compose Multiplatform is now available!
It includes optional colored text support and targets all previously missing platforms: Javascript, WASM and native Mac OS.

AI Slop: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) YouTube video by LastWeekTonight

John Oliver does a Last Week Tonight segment on AI slop. He focuses on pics and videos, not text, and what they're up to in social media, but does mention that the genAI making them steals from creators and maybe don't do that.
