It has come to my attention that one of your customers, Anthony O'Hare, has been using your services for the purpose of spamming.

@Pandya yeah, better adding "proof" in the form of search results, etc, but let's see what happens. For the record, expect downvotes. (This is something I can handle, not sure about you?)

Pandya

ok

@ShadowWizard I've written line in question "bugs stay for years without being fixed, not a single feature request has been done in the last few years." should I remove such?

@AndrewT. HURRY UP AND EARN MORE HATS! Winterbash will be over in 4 days, 13 hours, 58 minutes, and 8 seconds. :(

Shadow Wizard

@Pandya hmm.... I might have overreacted a bit yes. If you want to be totally accurate, just sift through the bug reports and feature requests of the android app, and see what has really been done. Won't be easy work, but if you care about the app, worth doing it.

(again, that's something I planned/plan to do at some point)

Andrew T.

Well, SE still tries to continue the Android app, but expect ~~slow~~ almost no new feature

That's what I got after err.. Kasra's response on "Android hates hats"

(oh, he's already gone)

Shadow Wizard

@AndrewT. gone from where?

Andrew T.

@ShadowWizard I mean Pandya

Shadow Wizard

@AndrewT. can't see how. Kasra is the only dev assigned to it, and he's also the group leader of both apps, which means full time job managing the project, with nearly zero time to really work on programming.

Andrew T.

Yeah, I realize it too. And then there's "many flavor of Android" (read: fragmentation) that makes debugging hard

Shadow Wizard

SE can hire a new programmer for this. They don't.

Thinking of your android app as a cup of tea, whether this cup of tea would work well with eclair, cupcake, donut and etc means that you have to try it on all those platforms.

Android version history

The version history of the Android mobile operating system began with the release of the Android alpha in November 2007. The first commercial version, Android 1.0, was released in September 2008. Android is continually developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), and has seen a number of updates to its base operating system since the initial release. The most recent major Android update is Android 6.0 "Marshmallow", which was released in October 2015. Since April 2009, Android versions have been developed under a confectionery-themed code name and released in alphabetical order, beginning...

@b_jonas yup, right here.

The funny part is, I never really went hunting for it. It was sheer surprise.

b_jonas

Is the time when you got it known?

Shadow Wizard

@b_jonas yup, I was online.

The only clue to Flying Tigers is... 20 December?

Flying Tigers

The 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force in 1941–1942, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, was composed of pilots from the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC), Navy (USN), and Marine Corps (USMC), recruited under presidential authority and commanded by Claire Lee Chennault. The shark-faced nose art of the Flying Tigers remains among the most recognizable image of any individual combat aircraft or combat unit of World War II. The group consisted of three fighter squadrons of around 30 aircraft each. It trained in Burma before the American entry into World War II with the mission...

Shadow Wizard

@AndrewT. nope

> It's important to know your history... in more ways than one.

> Well, really just two ways. (What? Two is more than one.) Earth military history, mid-twentieth century; and Stack Exchange Winter Bash history, 2014.

Those two ^

And I'm still trying to figure how I got it.

...and for a good laugh:

Huh? I don't think this post gets me closer to any of the hats I don't already have. EDIT: oh, actually it does, I honestly didn't even see that until your comment prompted me to go look at the list. — Pops ♦ yesterday
