When management says, "It works, why refactor?" ask why bridges need maintenance when they’re still standing. Ignore upkeep, and both infrastructure and software eventually collapse.

RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.

Just finished the season 4 of Love, Death & Robots on Netflix. This season somehow felt very weak on storytelling. None of the episodes had any lasting impact in neither in story, animation or emotional feel.
Previous seasons had at least a few episodes per season which I would watch again.

Google has formally announced the new ML Kit GenAI APIs at I/O 2025!

They also showed off how an accessibility app called Envision is leveraging this API to quickly generate summaries of scanned documents, all on device.

Today, we've released a brand new Jetpack library - Navigation3! A pure Compose, state based navigation library: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/05/announcing-jetpack-navigation-3-for-compose.html

@ryan this is weird coz I have it disabled. Ofcourse I'm logged in and everything, tried it, hated it, turned it off

Released Retrofit 2.12 with new streaming request body support.

I also released Retrofit 3.0 which is the same as 2.12 except with an OkHttp 4.x dependency. This is the version of OkHttp written in Kotlin, and so Retrofit now has a transitive Kotlin dependency. However, this is the only supported version of OkHttp (the previous version was unsupported for nearly 4 years).

Retrofit 3.x will maintain forward binary compatibility with Retrofit 2.x.

https://github.com/square/retrofit/releases/tag/3.0.0

Today is the day for a new release! This one comes with:

- Added toggle for enhanced text size
- Better unifiedPush support
- Improvements to Iceshrimp by Jacocococo
- A bunch of small fixes and improvements

It’s #GAAD—Global Accessibility Awareness Day.

I recently met a man who had lost his vision. He was re-learning life. Things like unlocking a phone or finding a cup were suddenly challenges.

I’ve worked in accessibility for years—but this made it personal.

Accessibility isn’t just a feature or a checklist—it’s dignity. It’s independence. It’s humanity.

And when we skip it, we build exclusion by default.

Let’s do better. Let’s build for everyone.

THIS IS SO COOL!
