While waiting: I asked @droidcon.bsky.social organizers if I can get the left over lanyards.

The answer was yes and now my question is: What should I do with them???? ;+)

a) A "quilted" laptop sleeve?
b) Badge holders for next year?
c) A scarf??

Other ideas? Let me know.

A list of uncountable and uncounted lanyards from droidcon London.

Realizing: I'll be in London in a couple of hours!

I'm seeing friends and foes from the Android community.

And I will be giving a talk about Passkeys and 🎃s!

Come, join, let's talk and hangout.

Kthxbye.

I'm sad to leave Spotify, but maybe try being human next time.

This is freaking insane. The level of polish necessary for this visual fidelity and it all runs flawlessly on mobile. Hats off.

Apparently all that happened 47 years ago ... How?

Two commits in a git repository. One is 47 years old.

Ah Basic, never change!

Some code comments, "this is the best code" is highlighted

Assembly code and a comment saying "Integerize".

Since they're working on it, can I please just develop my apps without needing to register somewhere?

Can we educate about trusted app sources, instead of enforcing arbitrary rules for everyone?

Just like with the PicoCalc hardware, my mmBasic software needed two attempts(?) to write "hello world". What's a manual and how do I read it on there?
