I'm using Deezer, because its Duo plan's T&C doesn't require couples to live in the same household. (Fuck Spotify because of their shitty plan.)

Unfortunately Deezer's Android app sucks, because it never reaches the server. Sometimes songs are just restarting or stopping, and you have to press the "add to favorites" button hundreds of times to finally successfully add it to your list. It's horrible. But in the browser it's smooth, there's no problem with it. I even find songs I would never expect to find there (much more than on Spotify). Also you can create playlists together with others, even if others are using a different streaming provider.

If your only choice is between YouTube and Spotify, I'd go for Spotify because fuck Google, and also Spotify app is smooth, and has the ability to control your music from your phone even when the music is playing on another device. (This is possible to do with 3rd party apps with any music player, but Spotify has it built in.)

Sooo they turn into racist slowly? That's still not cool.

Holy shit, this is much better than the original!!! Damn, I should rewatch the series like this. Where can I find all of it without the laugh track?

Edit: I have to add, the long pauses make it a bit annoying. With the laugh track the pauses aren't noticeable (to me at least; my girlfriend did notice the long pauses even with the laugh track, and it was annoying to her).

They say, nowadays nearly any laptop you could get is garbage due to insufficient cooling. Maybe they look promising at first, but you cannot use them for longer than 2-3 years, because the components simply get cooked inside. The only ones worthy of spending money on are the business-grade laptops, but they're crazy expensive (for a good reason). Therefore you should probably look for a used one, maybe from a company dealing with refurbished devices. Sometimes it's possible to get one that had been used for like 6 months, and you still have a number of years of warranty on it.

My personal favorite is the ThinkPad T, P or X series. Those are quality products, and there are official video guides, spare parts for self repair. I've also read about bad experiences about a T580 (I think) here, on lemmy, but the circumstances were unclear to me. They wrote about a bending motherboard issue, when you pick up the laptop holding only at the corner.

Framework laptops are also recommended a lot, but I've never gotten my hands on one, I don't know their build quality.

Do you remember 9gag? Some of you certainly do. Anyway, during those times they created another app called 9chat, later renamed it to Cookie, and later renamed it back to 9chat again.

Well, we met there, on 9chat/Cookie.

There weren't an insanely huge amount of people there, and there was a section for newcomers to upload their selfie and/or introduce themselves. And I found this gorgeous girl there, started to text her, and to my surprise, she actually replied and didn't even ghost me.

We had a nice conversation there, and we continued on WhatsApp, and three months later we met in real life too. This was 7 years ago, and sadly we're still in LDR, but the most important thing is, we have each other.

What could be the best possible way for Malaysia to commemorate the tragic event of MH17 on its 10th anniversary? Joining the terrorists who shot it down, right?

Everyone should invest that time.

You can do just that. Before you begin the quiz, there's a link to skip the quiz and directly enter your preferences.

I'm not from the US, so I don't know how accurate this is, and I also don't know if this thing has ever been updated (I found it a long time ago), but there's this tool that might help with deciding: https://www.whereshouldilive.co/

At first I wanted to say sushi, but basically anything I order online, because they're so expensive. But during those few occasions I really feel like royalty.

I set the timer on the dishwasher to finish approximately when I get home after work. However, that day I didn't really know what time I would get home, as there was an after-work BBQ event.

When I arrived at home and stepped into the kitchen, the timer showed 0:00 and shortly afterwards it switched off.

My proudest achievement in like two years.

I don't understand the motivation in these kinds of attacks.

It's easy: Houthi terrorists are backed by Iranian terrorists and Muscovy terrorists, and all they want is more chaos in the world. That's what terrorists do.

 

Scrum is an agile framework that, if applied properly, can boost the efficiency of teamwork. It is known to be versatile enough, so it could be applied in basically any sort of productive teamwork, even beyond IT (e.g. bakeries, government organizations, etc.)

However, I've never ever seen it being used anywhere else other than in software development, therefore I've always been curious if Scrum is actually being used outside of IT somewhere.

 

Hi everyone,

As I've been developing my Android app, I've quickly found myself in a situation, where all my @Composable functions are quite hectic, not really maintainable.

I am wondering, is there any guide for best practices regarding @Composable functions?

Thinking in Compose is a straightforward article, and it all makes sense - until I want to build something other than Hello World. Something more complex, I mean.

What I understand from the article is, that I should keep the logic out of these functions as much as possible, and pass only primitive types as parameters. Behavior should be kept in callback functions. This is very nice and clean, I like it, but then what should I do, when I have quite a lot of functions nested?

For example, on MainActivity I have a Scaffold, within that a NavHost with four different tabs, each with completely different content, some of them with a BottomSheet, which are also completely different for each tab (that has one), and some of the BottomSheets can call a Dialog, which again, has a form in it, and so on. So the hierarchy has quite a level of nesting. And if I understand the recommendation correctly from the article mentioned above, then I am supposed to keep the states and callback function definitions somewhere in MainActivity (or ViewModel), and pass everything through the entire hierarchy. Everything. The value of every single Text (those that cannot be hardcoded), all the list items to DropdownMenus, all the list items for Lists, literally everything. And then, according to the article, the renderer is smart enough to only recompose those elements that really changed.

To me this sounds tedious. I've also seen recommendations to just pass the ViewModel itself in order to reduce the number of parameters. But if I do that, then how would I make a @Preview out of it? Probably it's possible, but it wouldn't be convenient at all.

So what's a clean approach for designing a good @Composable function hierarchy?
