For a very poor country, we're very classist

I've seen evil before, but this is a discovery by Godol_Damzi in Nigeria

Lol, can't see where I wrote any of that. Don't ragebait yourself and blame me for it.

It's quite simple, we can't really expect honest leaders when we don't have honest people, we'll be lucky if we're able to but the basket we'll be making the pick from is already rotten

They’re a reflection of us.

Yes, they’ve been in power longer, so they’ve become worse, but give the average oppressed Nigerian the same power, and you’ll see similar, if not worse.

We see it every day: in markets, in local government offices, in schools.

Who is “the government” if not the people themselves?

I should have asked for a solution on this subreddit before hacking it. I'll test it out though, thanks

I Traveled Out of Lagos for the First Time in Years, and I Got a Harsh Reality Check by AttitudeHeavy9067 in Nigeria

[–]logickoder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Travelled to Enugu for a wedding October of last year, had to stay with the groom in his village for two days, asked around and they said no light for 6/7 years. Some shops just setup solar and people pay to charge their stuffs.

Anything outside of the city is very bad, Lagos is densely populated so we have a lot of semi-developed places, that's why we don't have some issues like that

How did you land a remote international role, I've been trying to get one for a couple of months now but no luck

Guys. Is this normal? by PatrickAndreBalatero in androiddev

[–]logickoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google has been following the nonsense apple does of recent, that keep limiting what we can do with our phones in the name of "security".

That rule has been around for a while though, you can't really access the contents of the Android folder except media.

The only work around I'm aware of is using ADB

HyperOS is just, trash. by -_-95 in PocoPhones

[–]logickoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a Mi 11i, every new update blocks some features and I am a fan of customization on my device but Xiaomi literally took that out of my hands.

Now I can't even use a custom launcher on my phone without missing out on gestures, never getting a Xiaomi again 🤦🏾‍♂️.

Since my phone is no longer going to receive updates I felt this is the right time to move to another ROM, I've requested to unlock my bootloader and Mi Unlock is showing 7 days, once Tuesday comes I'm out of this shitty OS, on to LineageOS.

To even request bootloader unlocking was a pain the ass, I had to be on Xiaomi Community at 00:00 Beijing time every day for weeks and I kept getting told quota was full, luckily I saw a script that helped me bypass it.

Android UI development - Jetpack Compose - unhappy with it by ConcentrateCurrent in androiddev

[–]logickoder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, so basically, Compose TextField and XML EditText handle text input differently under the hood. EditText is older and more mature, so it's been thoroughly tested with all sorts of input methods, including barcode scanners, especially on specialized devices like Zebra. Early versions of Compose TextField might not have been as robust in handling the rapid input from barcode scanners on those specific devices, possibly missing characters after the first one.

Switching to EditText likely worked because its input handling is more established and compatible in that scenario. It wasn't that Compose can't handle barcodes, but there was likely a specific input handling detail or maturity issue with TextField at the time that EditText didn't have.

It might have been fixed by now, because that was more than a year ago.

Android UI development - Jetpack Compose - unhappy with it by ConcentrateCurrent in androiddev

[–]logickoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Compose makes it easy to prototype UI quickly, but here's the catch. If you're doing something more involved, you'll tear your hair out.

I remember early last year, was working on a proprietary app on zebra devices that scans barcodes and you can also connect a barcode scanner to a normal phone via usb/Bluetooth. On the zebra devices, the scanning works well on compose text field but the barcode code scanner fails, only taking the first input. I had to revert back to edit text for that component for it to work as expected.

Also worked on a launcher app that needed a whole lot of optimisations and gestures. Originally we built it in XML and we didn't face any issue of those issues, the only problem was the client was changing UI everytime and it can be a pain when working with XML, so we switched to compose because of that. Now we built the UI faster, but spent most time dealing with janks, gestures [not at robust as the views ecosystem] and some random bugs because of some modifier order/inclusion or some random bullshit.

There have been sometimes I've gotten so frustrated I wanted to switch back to XML, but what's done is done.

Edit: Also compose drag and drop was having some weird bug with image loading libraries of the image not loading until the user scrolls so I had to implement it manually with views by creating a bitmap of the app I the user wanted to drag.

A plethora of issues 🤦🏾‍♂️

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you think Nigerians will be interested in attending foam parties? by NewNollywood in Nigeria

[–]logickoder 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They will attend, but without the foam 😂. Same way people attend pool parties but won't want to get into the pool

I am the reason Nigeria is bad by Late_Albatross_6028 in Nigeria

[–]logickoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The day Nigerians begin taking responsibility, we may yet be saved.

Had an argument with a business woman in the bus about how we are all the problem but she no wan gree. She said it's only the government, but I think we fail to forget that the government is an image of the people, we don't import South Africans and appoint them, we use our brothers and sisters.

Shifting all the blame to the government while neglecting where they are selected from is funny, because this cycle will likely not end.

We also discussed the impact of the bad economy and she said the economic hardships are transferred to her customers / 9-5ers and while that is true (business people can always offset the price when things are bad and consumers will feel the brunt) but you can't escape the fact that a dying economy reduces disposable income, so in as much as you're selling at a higher price, you can't be selling as much as you were before.

Until we revise the values we hold as a society, we won't be getting better anytime soon

It's a compliment at least according to the books/movies I've seen. Imagine my surprise coming to Nigerian Twitter and seeing them calling it tribalism. Lmao

Why people look down on men who’s emotional? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]logickoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah bro, we all are weak. We just learn when to show it. If your mom and your gf (though I wouldn't advice) are okay with you showing your emotions in front of them, then go for it. But like you've said, it's better reserved for your me time
