Kudos to Meet team for supporting this! In the video conf world, where most problems are well solved, this is such an amazing feature to differentiate and be customer first!

This is really neat! Loved it

This exaggeration of Python3 migration is ridiculous and frankly has become boring. Yes, Python 3 broke compatibility. But we had more than a decade to migrate. It definitely does not deserve to be the poster child for migrations gone wrong.

I don't agree. There are a lot of services which provide fully managed platforms with multiple competent providers you can migrate between. WordPress + CPanel does a great job at this, I've seen barely technical folks manage multiple websites and blogs,export and restore backups, migrate between providers. And this was all 10years back.

Bottom navigation bar works great for me because it's easier to use with my thumb.

I think Mozilla had to choose to either wait a long time to get full extension support and miss the train, or release early. I am also unhappy with not having the extensions I use, but I think this was the right choice. They plan to support the whole extension API eventually. Also aren't they the only ones who support extensions on Mobile?

VPA is used for discoverability across UPI clients. Phone numbers can be used for discoverability among users of a single client. For eg: foobar@icici on Google Pay & baz@hdfc on PhonePe can transact with each other, but can't use phone numbers. But +91-1234567890 & +91-9876543210 can discover & transact only if they are both on either PhonePe or Google Pay or any other client application. QR Codes were initially client-specific too, but now they are scannable across apps.

UPI truly is a revolution. I can have a 6Rs chai tea (8 cents) from a road side tea stall and pay using UPI with zero transaction fees.

Familiarity of source control tool lowers barriers for new developers coming into the project. For me this is enough reason to move to GitLab.

1. They are doing it with substantially less budget than their competitors.

2. Developers shouldn't have to build software for the greater good by sacrificing their livelihood.

3. I am pretty sure many people building all this amazing tech can definitely get paid better in other places

4. These days when someone like Facebook fails to be bold, I would prefer to support someone like Mozilla who walks the talk.

Everyone not happy with pocket recommendations, what is the alternate source of revenue? Not enough will pay for the product. On the other hand Mozilla has to compete with Apple, Google & Microsoft, all of whom are fighting hard for the Web.

Mozilla is doing good overall. They are doing some fundamental work to get back the technical edge, still trying to keep the future of the platform open with WebAssembly and their products have become much more reliable now. We have to cut them some slack.

Great to see GitLab gain momentum in FOSS. It's a great fit for small teams too, it's easy to setup and keep updated. It's more important than ever to help GitLab gain adoption with GitHub making it free for private repos. I love GitHub as much as any developer, but I believe having a free, open alternative to it is important.

I wish GitLab would improve their free-version of Merge Request reviews though, Github's is much much better right now.

1. The selected Java SDK API desugaring, though limited, is much awaited. Little things like supporting `java.time` up until API Level 14 make it less painful, don't have to end up using Joda Time even though it officially is not developed anymore.

2. Good to see Google focus on animations finally

3. The CPU profiler looks amazing

The transition to androidx has been slow and painful. But overall Android dev experience is improving consistently

Looks great, signed up!

Yeah. I see that it works great for some scenarios, like when I and my co-founder are collaborating. But if I try to teach it to a sales guy, I can see he just hates it :(
