This is definitely the future Terry Gilliam promised us.

I get mixed feelings when I can create a small reproduction project for an issue caused by a single version bump in a third party dependency. It's nice to know it's not my code, but a fix-release is also out of my control

Today's problem; The compiler in #Kotlin 2.1.20. I've even managed to boil it down to a 1 line change where "2.1.10" works, and "2.1.20" or "2.1.21" triggers the issue.

Anyone at #KotlinConf want to take a look?

I never thought I’d see the day where China seems to be on a better trajectory, in terms of bringing the world together, than the US. 🤔

China to donate $500 million to WHO, stepping into gap left by U.S.

Beijing will replace the United States as the organization’s top state donor, expanding its influence as the U.S. retreats from international cooperation.

Place your bets please; Will the #AAOS build for Pixel Tablets become a thing in the #AOSP, or will #Google consider the #Automotive #Android variant a proprietary thing, and not make a non-GAS buildable version of it available for the PT?

Not making an #AOSP buildable #AAOS for the Pixel Tablet would, to me, be a signal of where Google is heading with its new "closed development, then throw it over the wall" AOSP model, and it'd be a sad direction to see them go in.
