Dev, sometimes writer and artist and definitely not a bot. Enjoying Mastodon so far.
In case anyone has the same issue and is reading this post (not likely because, you know, Mastodon) I fixed the issue by turning on Desktop mode on an app I use called Taskbar.
I guess it's a new interaction with that now that Android desktop is becoming more of a thing. 🤷
This is what I'm seeing in the part of the dev options where I've controlled this sort of thing before.
Did an #android update and now it won't let me open apps as full size by default? Everything is opening as resizable even when I turn off the option in dev options.
Have I missed something? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Robert RoskamI'm not anti-AI. I'm just pro-thinking.
What do I mean? I mean that everyone I know who is REALLY into AI uses it for reading EVERYTHING longer than 1000 words.
This is the mental equivalent of eating only smoothies, because they go down easier.
I say this with love: reading is thinking.
Stop letting slop think for you.

The key to coding productivity is your Mental Model: your own understanding of how all the software and APIs are interacting.
With AI, you aren’t strengthening the mental model in your head and really that’s what employers are paying you for: your experience just boils down to the knowledge in your head.
For junior developers, AI is candy: no nutritional value at all. Eat your vegetables, read lots of code and develop that mental model.
I wrote up a little blog post about how I used Tailscale to set up a nice little home networking and filesharing system without too much fuss: https://www.timothymalstead.com/blog/setting-up-a-home-network-with-tailscale #dev #web #tailscale #taildrive #networking

Reach out via multiple channels, mention your personal connections, link to your terrible personal website... anything like this could help you stand out from the scores of bots.
