Oh totally agreed, I went through the same thought process 8 years ago at my last job and decided against Flutter too. I really wanted to, it was just too new as a Google product. I'm happy I get…
comment
Flutter is 9 years old at this point. I do hope they move it its own open source foundation since a ton of apps use it, having all that under Google's control isn't the best (looking at you …

How are they limping? Flutter has completely replaced it's rendering engine across all platforms and they're building out major window management support on desktop platforms. At some point …

By durable I guess I mean they don't destroy themselves just by existing.

That's cool, I didn't see that mentioned in the article.
comment
I have a feeling that making durable fold in half cell phones is just not something we can do cheaply, so they have to be billed as premium to justify it. Also isn't that terminology settled? Fol…

I knew I'd seen that city gif with the lines before: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/12/improving-... > From the 2026 article: "But you also need…

The DC metro stations with this architecture (and several of the federal buildings downtown in a similar brutalist style) are some of my favorite places. Growing up in the area, the Metro was so excit…

I get the feeling this article is just about mobile apps, which you clearly think is an irremediable platform for some reason. Given ths choice between native mobile apps, locked down by two massive t…

Omg it's a Asteroids Vampire Survivors, that's such a good idea! Love seeing android apps distributed independently too. Excited to play!

To be clear, I am not the creator of this app. I find their work incredibly impressive and want to get the word out about what they've done!

Except at least there are alternatives to Unity without replacing your entire OS and hardware.

I think this is very much already a thing. Have a bot spam Reddit, which Google uses heavily for their AI summaries, and get free advertising and steering of the top of the Google search results page.…

> But saying "Google = bad, me uninstall Google, if you use Google Chrome you are an idiot" are not a productive feedback for a product owner there. I wasn't? I hope that wasn't…

I'm sorry but the AI model that was forced to write this article is struggling to explain why this is a problem. I get that a chrome update that suddenly balloons to 4gb+ is stupid, that's f…

I love the click-wheel on my Mazda3 and I love that it allows the screen to sit out of arms length up on the dashboard. Its a very nice interior. What I don't love is how Android Auto is slowly b…

Phew!

This feels like the most ridiculous option and one I've never heard in the wild. Sequel-ite, S-Q-lite, sure. S-Q-L-ite, nah I'm not buying that. Kinda like the inventor of GIF insisting on p…

Truly the most accurate username I've encountered here.

Who's benefiting from SF homelessness?

I think I can pay for access to the Apple Weather api, which is neither the DarkSky api, nor the DarkSky app that was killed by Apple.
comment
From what I've heard, it sounds like it's not nearly as good or simple an experience as DarkSky was. But as an Android user I wouldn't know, DarkSky was just killed by Apple for everyon…

So just to be clear, Safety Core is a set of models for detecting sensitive content that other apps can hook into to add warning when someone sends you something dirty. It's updated via the Play …

Just make a new phone OS lol, problem solved.
