PSA: Starting Android Gradle Plugin 9.0 (or the latest stable version of R8): R8 will automatically optimize all Intrinsics.check* APIs in Kotlin automatically !

This should greatly help improve app performance (especially Compose given the large Kotlin library API surface).

You'd enjoy the Acquired podcast. Nelson recommended the mini-series they did about Google to me a couple months ago, and I've been hooked since then!

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Fewest homicides in London since monthly records began. The number of homicides in London between January to September 2025 is the lowest in the first 9 months of any year since monthly records began in 2003.

Some politicians and commentators continue to talk our great city down.

The facts show a very different picture.

I loved my MX Master when I had it, but ended up having to move to the MX Vertical due to wrist pain. I wish they'd make some updates to that one, especially as the scroll wheel on it sucks

I wish those commenting about bands at Glastonbury were just a small bit as vocal about all the children being slaughtered, maimed and starved in Gaza.

Trænede med Vingegaard i timevis: - Det kommer ikke til at ske i mit liv igen Tre franske fyre fik sig en stor oplevelse, da de stødte ind i Jonas Vingegaard, der var i gang med at teste 12. etape i Tour de France.

This story about 3 guys who randomly tagged along with Jonas on a training ride is so awesome.

In the last two days I've had two people stop me to give me their opinions on me using my phone whilst walking (on practically empty pavements, not crossings).

The latest informing me (falsely) that in Hamburg I can be fined 60€ for it.

Why are you like this? Can't you, idk, get laid or something?

My girlfriend has been using it and the notifications they send are absolutely unhinged. I like how they've leaned into that though — they're the Zlatan of apps

Just to add, we've been using it for over a year with absolutely no problems
