When you realize 90% of programming is reading, then you’ll end up embarking on a journey to make code more readable. At some point you fall in love with ligatures.

I put all those in different files

compont/functions/foo.ext etc.

It still works. is_this_thing_some_thingy. Is is just a prefix for if the suffix returns true/false.

This is one solution to the issue, and it seems silly you are being downvoted for it.

Google became what it became, and years of seo optimisation cat & mouse play has reached new heights. Those obviously target Google instead of their competitors for now.

Would that we could have perfect search results, it would be beneficial to google as well.

The difference is, Samsung isn’t able to modify for example their Windows devices like this, which is why I say the root issue lives in the OS level. It’s one thing to bundle vendor software in, it’s another when that OS has a feature in which you only let the owner of the device disable, not uninstall, said software.

I’d call it an Android issue, as the OS lets vendors force uninstallable apps into their devices.

Unlocked Z Fold 5. Does adb require rooting? I’ll google.

Today I spent 50 minutes figuring out why my app could not set itself as default for www.instagram.com links. I don’t have IG installed.

Turns out the latest Samsung OTA update re-enabled Meta App Manager, Meta App Installer and Meta Services. Any of which, while enabled, will result in the user setting an app to handle certain domain links, only for the users action to be instantly reversed without notification.

Edit: that’s a gif if it doesn’t show up correctly. I had an app advertise itself as IG but Meta kept hijacking the link handler. An uninstallable Samsung forced Meta app, that enables itself back after each OTA update.

If this was on desktop, someone would already be sued. But android? “Sorry can’t uninstall system app”
