Doing an app release at work and got a new warning from Google about a "significant drop" in supported devices.

Google and I have very different opinions on what "significant" means.

Oh man, this flew completely under my radar. Cursor offers Deb and RPM repos + packages nowadays (released a few weeks back) 🎉

No longer do I have to use the AppImage and regularly cleaning up after Cursor + AppImageLauncher of older releases and desktop files.

🧵 1/4 Fuck Google (looking at you, spineless employees at @developers.google.com). Remember folks, there are other options to Android besides just iOS. Sailfish OS exists. Plasma Mobile exists. PureOS exists.

Never had the original #Pebble, but really excited for the Pebble Time 2. Will certainly wait to see if anyone in the #SailfishOS community adds it to Amazfish (I would if time permitted) before I pick one up, but great to see a revival of a classic.
