Programmatically calling into the Android runtime from ADB shell commands

A step by step instruction for building ADB shell tools that can be run from the commandline and call into the Android framework.

So, why is Facebook really renaming itself to Meta?

Funny how so few people seem to see what game the company is actually playing.

Ah, Thanksgiving Day. Have you ever wondered what it would look like in an alternate reality in which turkeys, not humans, evolved to be the dominant species of planet earth?

So, the revelation of the week is that Facebook curates the newsfeed to confront users with as much hate as possible, as this makes them stay on the platform longer and increases ad revenue. Surprise! From this, the conclusion arises that the company is threatening democracy, which is a totally bad thing, we should all be pissed about.

Don’t know about you guys, but my conclusion would have been that, I, as a Facebook user, despite all warnings from privacy advocates and against all reason, disclosed way too much personal information about myself, thus enabling the data kraken to waste huge quantities of my life by triggering me with upsetting things, I can’t won’t do anything about anyway.

Ah Halloween… the day on which you make your house look scary in order to attract children begging for candy.

Protip: put more effort into decorating and eat the candy yourself.

I keep wondering why people think it would be a good idea to break up Facebook. A breakup is an action taken by a cartel office to (re)establish competition. A lack of competition isn’t the problem, the whole business model is!

Just unblocked a Google account without submitting a telephone number.

I hate heuristics.

Today’s realisation: You can get instant Ramen noodles to be somewhat filling by throwing an extra half a handful of frozen peas into the boiling water.

A potential fix for the "Bad authentication" error

Sorry it took so long

Raccoon 4.19.0

Maintenance release:

• Potential fix for the “Bad Authentication” error.
• Adjusted a timeout to give Play more time to settle after creating a new profile. Without this, the first ever search would result in a strange collection of apps being found.

If you do not have problems with Raccoon being unable to log your Google Account in, stay with version 4.18.0.
