Sure would be nice if they caught and fixed that before pushing the update and requiring users to do it themselves.

Sorry you had to go through with that.

Point-release distros like to tout stability, but they face all the same problems as rolling-release distros when upgrading between versions.

Just dusted off one of my old Android apps and I completely agree with you.

Android has to be one of the least-competent, hacked-together, yet overengineered pieces of shit on the planet.

It saddens me that people were paid 6 figures to make it. They did not deserve that money and did a horrible job.

I agree, but tightly-coupling when it isn’t necessary is a sign of incompetence.
