TL;DR: it breaks
(this post is extra short because I am lazy)
TL;DR: PreferenceFragmentCompat.onCreate() mutates your activity theme to set android:scrollbars to vertical. This can cause unexpected behavior and major performance issues in specific scenarios.
I was recently investigating a bug in the Gramophone app I contribute to which got described to me as “RecyclerView scrolling is extremely laggy after changing to night mode”. I tried reproducing it, but toggling night mode on with the quick settings tile resulted in no change at all.
Another day, another Mac app? As usual, by me, someone with no Mac App development experience. Though I hope you enjoy it! Below is the project README
Displays Low Power Mode status in menu bar. Bolt means “Low Power Mode”. Crossed-out bolt means that LPM is disabled. Toggle “Low Power Mode” by clicking on the bolt, without entering your password every time.
Apple Music annoyed me enough to have me, someone with no Mac App development experience, develop an Anti-Apple Music application. Below is the project README
AntiMusic allows you to change the music player used by “Media keys” and “Now Playing” in Control Center on your Mac. If you are annoyed because your headset keeps opening Apple Music or because you want to use another music player instead of Apple Music when nothing is active, this app is for you!
(or: why self-hosting E-Mail is very annoying)
Since January 2022, I have hosted a small Weblate server for a few open-source projects. However, after various troubles, I had to shut it down. Ironically, most issues were not even related to Weblate itself.
Hello from my new blog!
This is the first post in my new blog, where I want to write about whatever interests me, and sometimes about really annoying issues with computers I encountered.
