New Blog Post — Actually, I don't hate smartwatches, I just hate Google, and I wish I didn't
Google's mediocre smartwatch software, abysmal level of effort and care put into optimisation and internal self sabotage between departments makes Pixel Watches look and feel incredibly unfinished and unappealing, while making Apple & Samsung look like the best smartwatch companies on earth.

The Wear OS version of wo.mbat didn’t get much love for the 2.0 update so it’s getting its own special 2.1 update
This is funny I’m buying you
heartbreaking: 87% of grandparents’ pcs are infected with at least one antivirus
I mainly bought the Galaxy Watch9 because the scratches on my Pixel Watch were starting to annoy me and I wanted something new to play with for 3 days and then forget about 
this is what my old Pixel Watch has looked like for 2/3 of its lifespan because concrete around swimming pools exists 
these are literally worthless now too, there’s only like 2 on Australian eBay and they’re both around $30 USD and in better condition than mine soooo

I just tried uploading it now and SOMEHOW uploaded an OLD version
inspirational quote for @today
"I am not worthless. I am worth $200. If you reduced my body down to its base elements, you could sell them to an industrial chemical supplier for about $200. I am full of valuable potassium. No one can ever take that away from me, unless I sell my body to an industrial chemical supplier."

why isn’t the kde forums called KDiscuss or KForums or something KStupid KJust KLike KAll KOther KDE KNames
really liking the Galaxy Watch9 so far, INFINITELY better software than the god awful Pixel Watch software and the health tracking seems SIGNIFICANTLY better too. Battery life is a little disappointing but it's still better than my Pixel watch.
APK bundles are evil and bad so I made a thing https://ihateapkbundles.fyi/
there’s a few other tools out there but they barely work and suck, I have spent literal HOURS debugging and reverse engineering various APK bundle formats (APKM and AAB are the WORST) so it should be significantly better than the other tools.
It’s also the only one that supports AAB online :)
I plan on adding more features later like adding your own signing key, changing the app name, etc
