I like Kotlin and I use it at $dayjob but I'm not doing Android development, just backend. I'm at a big company and most new code is Kotlin, many colleagues like it too.
Most people think Kotlin = Android, but it would be interesting to know the exact proportion of Android vs the rest of Kotlin developers. Even frameworks like Spring Boot officially support Kotlin, so I think there's a significant user base, maybe too silent.
I use Niri at home and PaperWM at work but I use most apps maximized. The thing that I like is that I can move between windows in a WASD like shortcut, more convenient that doing Alt-Tab. However vertical split is also very easy to do in Niri and it's sometimes very convenient.
As a reminder, LaLiga got caught spying their users with their app using the microphone and the geolocation to detect illegal emissions in bars. They got fined, applying the GDPR, with 250k euros. [0]
However, the last court order, removed the fine as they interpreted the AEPD (Spanish data protection agency, and the ones that fined LaLiga) did not showed any guidelines about this kind of stuff so it couldn't be fined retroactively. And that showing a "Mic in use" warning every time the app was using the microphone, as AEPD wanted, was "excessive". [1]
LaLiga is the main football league in Spain, where Real Madrid, FC Barcelona,... play. It's also considered the second most important league in Europe after the Premier League in England. And, related to this, it manages the TV rights of the matches.
In Spain it is mandatory since this year. There's a free Java app by the government, FACTURAe, that is capable of generating the digital invoices and it's not that complicated to use. Electronic invoices have been mandatory for public administrations for 10 years already.
The Rust compiler has supported RISC-V64GC for many years already. I got my first RISC-V SBC in 2022 and have not found a single issue with the Rust compiler (some libraries have problems, but that's a different problem). In the end, the Rust compiler relies on LLVM, which also Clang users need it in order to compile C and C++ programs to RISC-V.
