Mass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.

Scoping ViewModels in Compose

Lifecycle ViewModel 2.11.0-alpha02 introduces rememberViewModelStoreOwner, an API to scope ViewModelStore directly within the Compose hierarchy. Why It Matters Until now, ViewModelStore scoping was tied to navigation destinations, activities or fragments. There was no clean way to scope a ViewModel to an arbitrary part of your UI (such as a Pager page, a LazyList item, or a custom layout) without building your own ViewModelStoreOwner from scratch. These new APIs close that gap:

@ianlake and I are speaking at #KotlinConf this year!

No, I don't want generative AI anywhere.

I don't want AI to write.
I don't want AI to draw.
I don't want AI to learn.
And I certainly don't want AI to make any decisions for me or about me.

Now our governments (using OUR money) are following the AI tech bros into the AI-Hell pit! 🫠

Please stop this madness already!
