Android is Compose-first, and the Views system is now in maintenance mode, meaning it will only receive updates for highly critical fixes.

First #GoogleIO as a Googler this year (watching remotely from the Google office). Feels weird. I went to my first GoogleIO in 2012 at the Moscone Center with my colleagues at #Shazam and was lucky enough to go in person 6 times overall 🙏

It's unbelievable that as a society we have allowed airlines to get away with legally overbooking flights. It's the only industry that can legally take your money while they know they can't supply you with the services you're buying.

Labour today joins a long list of consecutive governments that decided they need to pander to the most extreme rightwing elements of our country, failing to remember that apart from being cruel, the pandering never worked for the previous governments and it won't work for them.

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”
The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
