@alcidedessine.bsky.social j'adore votre travail, j'attends celle du Gers avec impatience. (Il y a matière)

Exactly what's on my mind these days. My feelings on AI are so ambivalent, I'm not what I think about it anymore.

Forgot to post this but had a blast at #AMxDC25 last week. A great conference, met nice folks and a great content overall! Thanks for having me, thanks for attending my talk and see you next year!
If you're not sure what to listen to, here is the pro-tip from my talk (you're welcome).

Very refreshing talk by @kanawish.bsky.social who goes in depth into using Android on lower level systems.

Being at Android Makers this year is giving me an idea of a future joke lightning talk introducing the french variant of the Android environment.

This recent blinking bug on duckduckgo Android is a bit annoying. It seems to happen only on certain websites 🤔

Is there a @home-assistant.io focussed conference? If not I think there would be a lot of potential for that. I'd love to learn about cool tips using the platform and interesting projects by random people.

Surprisingly very calm before my talk at Android makers next month. Basically having as much fun as 10y ago Romain with 0 stress. It might change but I love the taste of that so far.

In other news, my goldfish just attempted to commit suicide in a conch shell. Crazy start for a Friday.

Day 2 using my nothing phone 2a:
📱the screen is still quite big but now feels more comfortable than annoying.
❤️ Overall, it's starting to feel like an upgrade.
🕺The glyphs are quite gimmick-y but a nice addition.
🔋Really enjoying the battery life

Just received my nothing phone. First impression, wow it's huge. I'm so used to smaller devices, I'll need some time to adjust.

Before and after the new Pixel 4a mandatory battery update. Today included an hour or so in flight mode and then mostly in battery saver mode.

This is beyond awful.

Not a great move Google. Yesterday my Pixel 4a was still working seamlessly, battery life lasting for about a day.
Today the battery level is stuck at 100% and dies after 30 minutes.
I don't really care about your money. I just didn't want your software update.

Google Moves to Ensure Pixel 4a Battery Safety
Google is adding the Pixel 4a to its exclusive Battery Performance Program, which is a super nice way of telling select Pixel owners that the company is about to decimate your phone’s battery capacity...

I really enjoyed watching this talk by @pfrazee.com. It's 6 years old but it's still very relevant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-ff...

Je me tâte à créer un Discourse #srfc. Les communautés existantes (SRO, PO) fonctionnent bien mais leur support ont plutôt mal vieilli. Un petit Discourse donnerait un coup de jeune.

After my last talk at KotlinConf in 2017 (!!), I've used my study leave to prepare some abstracts for 2025 😊 🤞 This time I'm not only targeting #androiddev but also #golang conferences, forever and always on the core skills (🙅 soft skills) side
