not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, drones, but not my own. Because that sucks.

  • Agreed, and kinda confused why askandroid would need locking because of a FDroid community 🤔

    The thing that gets me is I came across forums for Android just before Digg shit the bed, and migrated to /r/Android where things were all cozy with ~1K-25K members.

    But as always the Help Vampires took hold, and it wasn’t until the mods realised that peeps submitting screenshots of their battery stats / problems / or some new feature that is limited to an OEM or whatever, they had to then have a clear set of rules and sister communities such as /r/AndroidQuestions / AndroidApps.

    Even r/acj (RIP 😖).

    I worry even if the numbers are small now, if we consolidate things into a bucket we’re likely to end up in the same situation again having to redirect the noise so to speak and going round in circles reopening it 🤷‍♀️











  • but IDK if I’m great at it.

    Simples is best, hands down. Maybe some tooltips wouldn’t go amiss on your demo page?

    But as someone else pointed out, a link to the GitHub either in the header or footer of your demo page would be ace too. It was the first thing I looked for this morning seeing your posts and had to come back to the comments to find it 🙈

    Keep up the great work, and I shared between our nerd group and they have eyeballs on it. Seems a no brainer for teams collaborating online where we’ve got used of shitty Slack 🤢 Dicksword whatever.

    ninjaedit: if you want some help Android app wise, give us a ping. I have a few bored devs lurking looking for app ideas ;)



  • Yeah, we do 12 hour shifts on a continental pattern and just finishing right now means I’ve got to grab a shower / food / minor chores and it feels like I don’t get time after work to even think.

    However I love my long weekends off and won’t have to go back in until Tues night, giving me a three and half weekend and like it states in the article allows you to take up hobbies (some of being weather dependent) at your choosing. I could never work M-F ever again even thou the hours do suck a little. But, there is also the bonus of simply booking two shifts off and I get a whole week off.
