I was using .local, but it ran into too many conflicts with an mDNS service I host and vice versa. I switched to .lan, but I’m certainly not going to switch to .internal unless another conflict surfaces.

I’ve also developed a host-monitoring solution that uses mDNS, so I’m not about to break my own software. 😅

The Android version of the app still has the zoom/cursor offset bug when using a software keyboard from when they sunset RDP 8. That has been a severe usability bug for over three years now.

Whether a jury feels a charge is fair is the whole reason trial by a jury of peers exists.

It’s a feature of the system, not a bug.

They still haven’t fixed the task switch button from the three button layout becoming non-functional after four years: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/204650736

It’s a byproduct of the home and task switch button now being managed by the Pixel Launcher regardless of which launcher you use. The animation delay makes it so the button becomes inactive and won’t be made active again until the Pixel Launcher is killed or the phone restarted.

From my perspective, Google is losing interest in maintaining Android at all.

Yeah, that’s why I started using .lan.

I consider it a big deal. I’m clicking “Not Now” buttons all day when I just want to use a piece of software for its main purpose. And then because it says “Not Now” I get asked again and again and again.

That I agree with. Microsoft drafted the recommendation to use it for local networks, and Apple ignored it or co-opted it for mDNS.

Macs aren’t the only thing that use mDNS, either. I have a host monitoring solution that I wrote that uses it.

This was when I stopped using it for a while. I sent multiple feedback messages as it really irritated me.
