Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Some politicians and commentators continue to talk our great city down. The facts show a very different picture.

I wish those commenting about bands at Glastonbury were just a small bit as vocal about all the children being slaughtered, maimed and starved in Gaza.

This story about 3 guys who randomly tagged along with Jonas on a training ride is so awesome.

In the last two days I've had two people stop me to give me their opinions on me using my phone whilst walking (on practically empty pavements, not crossings). The latest informing me (falsely) that in Hamburg I can be fined 60€ for it. Why are you like this? Can't you, idk, get laid or something?

androidx.build.gradle.s3buildcache Gradle Plugin has shipped 1.0.0-beta01. Give it a spin if the GCP version does not work for your use-cases. @oheyadam.bsky.social has been doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. Thank you!

Drivers in Cairo stay in your lane challenge: impossible

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

Google auto opted in *every* paying Google Workspace user to Gemini. Also adding a nice increase in price, even though no one opted into it. You cannot turn off / opt out. Except... if you open a support ticket. Only then does Google enable the setting to turn it off! I did:

Happy New Year #AndroidDev! Happy to share some new custom themes for @androidstudio.bsky.social and @intellijidea.com that I've been chipping away at here and there: Cloudy Blue, New Darcula, and In Bed By 7pm. Screenshots in 🧵 plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26164...
