My talk about BLE on #androiddev from last weeks #DroidCon in London was really fun.

While waiting for the video to get published you can find my slides at https://speakerdeck.com/erikhellman/state-of-ble-on-android-in-2022

State of BLE on Android in 2022

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) has been available on Android since API level 18. This was 9 years ago and a lot has happened since then. The platform APIs have become more stable, new features are supported, and the OS is providing better support for working with BLE while the app is in the background. In this talk, we will go through the state of BLE on Android in 2022, and also look at what is coming up soon. This session will be valuable for anyone working on BLE or planning to.

Did you know that when you put .rss behind your Mastodon profile URL, you get an RSS feed? 😎

This is a feature of Mastodon I really like. If you don't like how a server is operating you can just move your account - https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/how-to-migrate-from-one-server-to-another/
How to migrate from one server to another

With the sad news that KNZK was shutting down we thought it might be useful for people to have a refresher on the features that Mastodon has built in that make moving instances easy and painless. Backing up Your Data Data export If you are moving to a new instance the first thing you will want to do is to get a backup of all of your data. Thankfully this process is painless with the Data Export tab under the “Import and Export” page.

It’s great to see developers heading over here. The thing to remember is Mastodon hasn’t had 100s of millions of funding to polish apps, the servers, etc., in the same way Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ had/have so it relies on folks who are willing to donate time and add the polish they’d like to see.
