Is there anyone out there that can reassure me that I'm not the only one experiencing this trend?
I can't even keep track of how many times I go to start creating a nice little block of code, maybe even a handy API, and next thing I know my simple little function calls have exploded into full-blown structs and implementation definitions! 😅 🦀 😎 :bash:
I'm as excited about the rumors of improved desktop modes and video out support for the Pixel 8 as the next guy, but we've fielded these kinds of rumors before.
Currently the only phone I have that can run an Android 14 beta, AND has video out, just did this using the desktop mode in Android dev settings.
Which is even more broken than the A13 desktop mode, which was already almost nonfunctional from the A12 mode.
I really WANT Google to give us a Pixel 8 with a proper desktop or tablet large screen mode, but I'm not getting my hopes up until we see the phone in action.
I've gotten my hopes up the last couple updates, seeing code that would indicate improvements, but the actual practical experience has gotten WAY WORSE over the last two years.
Desktop modes are a huge perk, so I hope this is the year Google fixes this.
Phones are so ridiculously powerful now, they vastly outpace the actual compute power most families need for daily needs. The only thing holding us back is getting that performance out to devices and accessories to better USE that power.
If we can get a more usable platform for a desktop UI, devs might take apps for mobile and mixed use more seriously.
#introduction
Hi I'm Pierre, changed from Lego geek to computer geek at 11 when I touched a computer; they weren't that common in '80.
Studied computing at uni, became software #developer. Worked in several #startups, but not only.
Switched main OS to #linux in 1996. From time to time I contribute to #freesoftware projects, last to date being #DaggerfallUnity.
I enjoy #jazz#music (sometimes play #drums, but I need to replace my aging kit now), or #photography#nature.
Granted it's taking a long time, but I'm currently publishing a web app from a moving train, so today I'm thinking that maybe computers are okay for the time being.
Does anyone know how to do a @crowdstrike containment with a note in the WebUI via the #API on #crowdstrike? It’s bugging the hell out of me at work and Ops really wants that in the CS dashboard
Been poking around the #otw code archive for #ao3. Gonna use some of my programming skills and fix a few bugs on there. I'm pretty sure I know what's going on with it. #programming
