Haven't seen the NCAAF one. Will check it out. This is my most comically chaotic 82-0 team. www.82-0.com/share?id=nf0...

Liquid glass, link previews, context menus, and more. Expo Router v6 gives you more native features that wow than any other navigation system.

Gemini is really good when it produces results but it's crazy how often it just fails. It's like 2010 Twitter Fail Whale. The mobile app is especially bad. If you task switch away from the Gemini app before it gives you a result, it almost never successfully responds. I pay for Ultra too!

I'm having a hard time fulfilling your request. Can I help you with something else instead?

YouTube TV is so weird sometimes.The only thing I have watched in the last few months is NBA basketball. And there is a Finals game happening right now. On TV. And this is what it decides to show me on the homepage.

A YouTube TV homepage with random recordings of things like practice laps for the Canadian Grand Prix and pregame NBA shows instead of the actual game.

I kept Fortnite shadow-installed for 5 years. Didn’t think I would see it resurrected actually.

I’m pretty worried about supply chain attacks in software, esp npm. This is only going to get worse w more vibe coding where you aren’t even intentionally deciding what top level packages you are installing. Hackers still learning how to fully exploit this.

Congrats to us for winning best supporting actor/actress in the Bytes.dev OSScars

Best Supporting Actor/Actress: Expo. After years of supporting React Native, Expo has now teamed up with Al platforms like Replit and Bolt to allow developers (and normies) to build and ship mobile apps "without writing any code" - or at least a lot less code. Hopefully this will usher in another App Store golden age, because l've really been missing
Lightsaber Unleashed and Doodle Jump.

Agree w this take. I've spent so much time and energy trying to get various visas for team members who went to college in America and want to just keep living here and paying taxes. It would be so much better for everyone if we could just pay $ for the ppl who are worth it.

Twitter/X post from Mark Cuban agreeing to a degree with the Trump idea of selling visas.

Here is an example repo that does some simple react-native-skia stuff in an Expo project that should run either as a development build or within Expo Go. github.com/ccheever/ski...

They both might use it a little but primarily they are written in Obj-C/Swift/Java/Kotlin and use some of a Meta server driven technology called Blocks that is a competitor to RN.
