From behind the desk to the #AndroidCommunity stage! 🎤🗽 Have your voice heard at #dcnyc25! Submit your #Android talk proposal & shape the future of #AndroidDevs. Inspire & get inspired by other #MobileDevs, let’s build together! NYC like never before: sessionize.com/droidcon-nyc...

Tesla Gigafactory, Berlin - right now! In cooperation with @ledbydonkeys.org

Der Auftritt von Alice Weidel in #Magdeburg war keine Trauerrede, sondern eine von Hass und Hetze erfüllte Wahlkampf-Propaganda und eine Bewerbung für "Wer wird Hassprediger?" Dabei unterschlägt sie, dass der Täter AfD-Anhänger ist! Weidel wird NIE Kanzlerin #WirSindMehr #PIRATEN

Ah ok, so I see we're really wedging that dude into the "migrant terrorist" despite the fact that online he was singing from one of the most German far-right hymnsheets. He's been here 18 years. He was parroting AfD lines about Merkel and Islam. Sorry chaps, but this one belongs to you. 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

And so it begins! The journey to #Droidcon 2025 has officially started! đź‘‹ @ashdavies.bsky.social, @benkadel.bsky.social, Effi Barak, @gregfawson.bsky.social, Katya Vinnichenko

If you want to speak at @kotlinconf.com – the time for submitting your proposal is NOW! ⏰🚀

"Ash's enthusiasm for Kotlin is as palpable as a cat purring on your lap—comforting and slightly obsessional" Love it, love everything about it. Persona Analysis: The Tech-Savvy Comedian with 85% authenticity! blueskyroast.com

We know how you all are with CFPs... So we've extended the KotlinConf CFP deadline by a week, until December 8. Last chance! sessionize.com/kotli...

Anybody else absolutely loathe watching videos of themselves giving a talk?

#AndroidDev, @androidfaithful.com at @droidcon.bsky.social NYC interview with @swank.ca is up! Hopefully not too much fan girling, but Jesse has been one of my Android heroes forever, & he has a lot to say about what I think is the spirit of the Android dev fam. 🫶 youtu.be/_6YKyjKfWh0

Using JSON in Firebase Remote Config feels so uncomfortable for me, in theory it's OK, it's even in the documentation, but am I the only one that thinks this is crazy?

People saying, "now MAGA have nobody else to blame" clearly haven't understood MAGA.
