My gripe about no official macOS tool for transferring files from ๐Ÿ“ฑ Android device is over! Found this #open-source tool that does great job at it!

Finally at peace again! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

Benchmarks can say all it wants, but #Gemini on Google home is horrible, and the worst part is there is no way to downgrade to classic assistant (easily*) ๐Ÿ˜‘

This was a simple question: what's the time in istanbul now?

I have been using GitHub Copilot in similar extent for a while.

Whenever something came up in mind, I'd pull up my phone, create an issue on GitHub assign to copilot and just forget about it ๐Ÿช„

It's great that same workflow now can be applied using any service and do even more.

One underrated improvement Metro brings is its easy setup. No more configuring KAPT, runtime modules, keeping versions in sync, etc. You apply the Gradle plugin, setup a tiny graph and the rest is driven through constructor injection, @ContributesBinding and its other features. This was all I needed
