We've just released Lawnchair 15 Beta 2.1!

This release includes fixes or workarounds for broken gestures and widgets on certain ROMs, improves search performance when offline, and improves the stability of the Google Feed, also thanks to Lawnfeed 4.0!

This is the reason a #Shimano XT #derailleur costs more than a Shimano Alivio. On the left you have the whole-body slop of an Alivio M3100 derailleur. On the right you have the same of an XT M8000. There's noticeable slack in all the pivot joints of the M3100. There's no noticeable slack in the XT. It feels like a single piece. The result of this difference is misshifts like sometimes going one gear higher then back to the desired one, or otherwise some shifts taking longer between gears.

If you think they’re not coming for the very right to vote, think again.

Google asks what we think of their plans to block Android app installs outside of Google Play (unless the developers let Google verify their identity and pay a fee).

Alas, it is time for more uncomfortable questions, in this case regarding the announced Android developer verification program: https://commonsware.com/blog/2025/08/26/uncomfortable-questions-android-developer-verification.html #AndroidDev
Uncomfortable Questions About Android Developer Verification

Google announced a program that is proving to be unpopular among Android app development experts. I have questions.

New mouse day
@opensource

@PKL @pronk I needed another corded mouse and this time I thought of you instead of Logitech's shareholders. πŸ€—

This thing is pretty great, well done! Coming from a long line of Logitech (MX518/G5/G500/G502), it's a bit larger than what I'm used to but I think I got used to it.

I'm thinking of smoothing the grooves in the surface because it's bound to collect dead skin and other dirt over time.
