How limited could it have been? They were able to ship Google Maps Mobile with it.
How limited? We packed booleans inside integers instead of allocating separate booleans :P

Ha, nostalgic! Was part of a small 3 person team that built the Skype app for J2ME back in the day. Fun times.. :)

This article is fully written by an LLM, correct? It's just summarizes random forum threads and press releases. Or am I just paranoid?

To be fair this is a north america problem.
The rest of the world is on WhatsApp and doesn't even know what RCS messaging is.
But here in North America,we like pain.

That's not true at all. Random data point. Estonia. I have a _single_ contact that uses WhatsApp. Everybody else is reachable via FB Messenger/Discord/SMS/Signal/Google Chat/Instagram.

Pressing the "Submit" button on their "Google Antigravity for Organizations Interest Form" (https://antigravity.google/interest-form) doesn't actually do anything for me (tried Firefox and Chrome) -> their metrics will indicate that there's no interest from organizations -> the product will be killed in a year.

That blog post really downplays the issue that people have with the verification requirement and is tone-deaf. The resistance to get Google's blessing for app distribution is definitely not limited to students and hobbyists - and I don't think that's even the biggest affected group.

We could just use something like that
Or there is that other Object storage solution called R1 from Cloudflare.

I dream of a day when my Mammotion Luba gets some decent working software. The HW is stellar, the SF is EXTREMELY bad :/
tauntz commented on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022) smallandroidphone.com/... · Posted by u/asimops
I switched from a Pixel 3a to an iPhone 16 and it really bothers me that it's way too huge for everyday usage. Maybe I have extremely short thumbs but here's the maximum reach I have on the screen when I hold my phone "normally" in my hand: https://i.postimg.cc/Cx97jxLZ/iphone16reach.png - I can't reach the upper part of the screen at all, without doing finger-gymnastics or using my other hand. I'd love to switch to a phone that is 50-60%% of the size of the iPhone 16 but there are essentially no (modern) options for this. It's really a bummer :(
