You can just use the Kotlin compiler, or separate some scratch files in your Android Studio project. There’s nothing wrong with learning Kotlin, but learning Android development is using the whole toolbox at a beginner level.
The Kotlin compiler can be run from the command line. Doing it that way might separate your concerns.
Have you looked at using Compose? Philip Lackner has some easy tutorials to follow. It takes some of the major development hurdles out of your way.
Python has a one liner that just runs.
Is there a one liner that comes standard with Java now? There definitely hasn’t been before now.
Is there a simple way to do a http web server or socket? I’ve been looking around, but everything ends up being a page of instructions by the time I get it working.
A local hero was saving women from Windows by installing fresh Linux distros on their dated machines. I wanted this superpower.
In working through the installation I was the least disappointed I’ve ever been with an OS. The result was something I truly liked. If I nail down every single problem it could be my all time favourite machine.
Movie reference, hehehe
If it’s in the Fediverse, you can talk to it and it might talk back. I love that ageless feature!
Use a form attached to a spreadsheet FTLoG! What a finicky way to dunce your job!
The Bible as a Manga series by non-Christians or Christians with no need to soap it over. Raw and gritty in the way it was originally described. Old Testament level action stories.
So people strangely know the entire Bible without a hint of religion being demanded. Post-theology, post-religion in a way that people might understand the idea of an egalitarian world coming out of an absolute quagmire.
Arch is great, but it needs longer explanations considering the user needs to do a lot more. Sometimes you find them, but other times you find a snarky superuser with zero people skills.
It’s a shame they aren’t government standard, so I could take a local course to become a snarky superuser too.
Most of it involves everyday Linux usages, but some of it is specific to Arch and it breaks so hard. It’s not a great thing when you’re stupid busy and don’t have the headroom to get to the bottom of it. Sometimes all you get is vague theories on how a fix might occur. After that you’re playing shell games trying to debug your problems.
Definitely recommend for pro-Linux people that have a breakable laptop that can go on the backburner.
I paid for Lynda.com, and it could have easily taken in more business if YouTube wasn’t working so hard for Google ads. There are a lot of paid (and free) services that suffer because of YouTubes ad-money business model.
Netflix could use the extra business. There are plenty of services failing to thrive while YouTube exists. Peertube would be wide open if YouTube went the way of most of Google’s stable of apps. PeerTube is wide open even if YouTube doesn’t go away anyway.
People genuinely hate ads. It’s a high degree of enshitification. YouTube could divide into paid content and free content in a simple Freemium model.
Or, add third tier with ads, which any user can opt out of in the same way contributers can. I’d be happy to click subscribe on an ad free experience with less content available to me.
Or, add an option for a couple of free tier items per month, week, or day. Like Medium’s business model.
It’s not hard to stop sucking!
I have a student joke, but I’m not ready to submit it
I have a gardener joke, but I’ll have to dig it up
I have a cleaner joke, but it’s a bit dirty
Putting people on autopilot. The MS way!
This looks interesting, thanks!
A lot of blind courage is also missing. People used to answer to a lot of blind requests in a way that demanded a leap of faith and an effort to establish their own character. It also had a healthy dose of just wait and see. These days people can weasel out of uninformed situations quite a lot. So, we lean to shallow decision models with fewer good intentions accordingly.
Letting people own your house and charge you money. Make it stop!
Fireworks pranks.
Burning smiley faces on your palm with lighters.
Joyriding and carjacking.
Russian roulette.
Vodka competitions.
Glue sniffing.
Gay bashing.
Chicken races.
I’ve been asked about this in foreign countries. “So, in your country people treat their pets better than other people?”
Chemistry and attraction.
