So apparently, if you stop paying Netflix they delete your account 🤦‍♂️ Didn't know that and now my history is gone 😑

Last Saturday we organized the 8th edition of the #DevFestVenezia (time flies!! 😱), and this was the biggest with more than 400 people attending.

It's always a challenge organizing such events, but it's so rewarding and satisfying. 🤩

Already looking forward for the next one!

New API on NSProcessInfo in visionOS 26.1 — 'isiOSAppOnVision'.

Finally there's an API to check if you're running on visionOS in compatibility mode

Battery on Apple Silicon is amazing, until you start working in the sunlight, with an Android emulator and a couple of Gradle projects building at the same time 😅

In theory yes, it could be double!

I wrote a new article!

The topic is fascinating: how I managed to get access to macOS native APIs like iCloud on a Compose Multiplatform desktop app using Kotlin Native and the JNI.

Accessing native macOS API in Compose Multiplatform - Marco Gomiero

Compose Multiplatform is an amazing framework for building desktop applications that run on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) on multiple platforms (macOS, Windows, and Linux). However, things get trickier if platform-specific APIs, like iCloud on macOS, are needed. These APIs are tied to their native platforms and aren’t designed to be easily shared across multiple targets. Integrating such APIs into a Compose Multiplatform (in this article, when I mention Compose Multiplatform, I’m referring to Compose Multiplatform Desktop apps that run on the JVM) project requires some additional setup and “creativity”.

Is the android feed or my profile? 😂

And in Berlin there's still doing today boarding by filling up the ticket code in a phone.

The reboot is taking a bit 😅

European airports slowly get back online after cyberattack targeted check-in systems

Major airports in Brussels, London and Berlin were hit by disruptions to electronic systems that snarled up check-in and sent airline staffers trying options like handwriting boarding passes.

Same! I've tuned DuckDuckGo to always return in English and it's a blessing! 🥹

For now it's only GoDaddy for me. For the others I was able to find a switcher or the blessed on screen translation 😁

Marco Gomiero @marcogomiero.com · 13d

Just because I have a German IP, now for GoDaddy I can speak German 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I hate this so much.

Maybe it's time to change domain registrar.

Ah basically not using VM at all.

Just inject repo/networking/wathever with a property wrapper, observe results and trigger actions with the task { } modifier (like a coroutine score in the UI).
Which makes more sense in a swiftui world
