Occasionally I need to call someone on the phone to test something. I don't know why I never thought of this until now

Now that #Android15 has been pushed to AOSP, I can show you a small detail in the updated easter egg:

As an homage to our new code-flagging system, the lander now plants a cute little flag wherever it lands. But as you can see, this new-flag feature is itself implemented behind a feature flag! It's called FlagFlag:

So, with yesterday's launch, the lander landing-flag flag launch has landed.

Just wanted to flag that.
