not an ideal start to the year for many. but hopefully a new album from legendary 70s band Cymande will help.

soft and strong, like a warm blanket. with the kind of positivity - and hope - the world may need in the coming years. this was exactly the sound i needed today.

The recent work I've been doing has required a lot of sharing files between testing devices (and my Mac). AirDrop should be the ideal tool for this but I've recently found it to be unreliable.

Instead I've been using LocalSend which is an open-source AirDrop alternative and it's been working fantastically. The only real downside is that you have to open the app on both sides for the share to complete, but it has been 100% reliable so that’s a tradeoff I'll happily make.

Now that we're all excited about our iOS job opening, it's a great time to post the Office Hours with our Mobile Team from earlier this month. It's naturally pretty Android heavy, but we do discuss the new role and our plans for iOS!

(At FOSDEM this weekend? Meet our mobile team at our booth in Building K, Level 1!)

A few days after he was sworn in as 47th US president, he claimed Greenland “wanted to be with us” and said he believed it would eventually become part of the US.

“I think the people want to be with us,” Trump said when asked about the island in the press room on board the presidential plane.

Maybe that could be mentioned in the OP?

It's a fairly big oversight when posting jobs to a global site, and all the details of restrictions end up being 3 clicks away.... you're not alone almost every job posting is the same.

There really needs to be a standard format for job postings that includes residency/eligibility.

I don't know how many of these apps are accessible. I use Everything and it's quite accessible and super useful.
Another must-have for me is Winaero Tweaker.
