I think this is part of a larger trend of Microsoft refusing to patch any bug they simply don’t want to.
I’ve had an issue with the Remote Desktop app on Android for three years where the cursor drifts further and further away from where it’s drawn over the course of a session and when the Android keyboard pops up. Several users have reported the issue (including myself), and Microsoft still hasn’t fixed it.
Once again, this has been a major usability bug for over three years. The only way around it is to disconnect from the session and reconnect every time you use the keyboard or once the drifting becomes too much.

PNG doesn’t support lossy compression natively, to be clear.
Rust specializes in making parallel processing secure and approachable, so it’s going get used in problems where parallel processing and efficiency matter.
Rust is also now allowed to be used in the Linux kernel for the same reasons, which is exciting!
This happened on all android devices I’ve owned. Once they turn about 3 years old, they start slowing down out of a sudden. Yes, software gets heavier, you need more processing power, etc. But it happens out of a sudden....
Looking for recommendations on a good FOSS journal/diary app for Android. Preferably encrypted at rest. Cross-device sync isn’t important for me, looking more for a thought dump than anything.
It does rely on the recently-made-legacy docker-compose client, so for now it’s still required to install that. If you need some advice or pointers, let me know.
My home lab has a mild amount of complexity and I’d like practice some good habits about documenting it. Stuff like, what each system does, the OS, any notable software installed and, most importantly, any documentation around configuration or troubleshooting....
I'm amazed that Android doesn't have a built in way to connect to a network drive like iOS/iPadOS has
