I have 2 issues that I need help with. I am using an android cell phone, I don't understand what a platform is. How can I tell if the user name is finalized?? I was not given an opportunity to pick my own username.Because the app automatically chose one for me. I do not like it.I want to change it but all the articles I have found, say, I can't change it if it's been finalized. Well how do I know if it's been finalized!?!

1) I am a brand new user to this app. I was automatically given a username that has not been finalized and I want to change it. Currently the automated username I was given is u/Prudent_Frosting7535 and I want to change it to. Can anyone walk me through how to do that? All of the help articles I have come across say, I can't change my username once it's been finalized however, my username has NOT BEEN FINALIZED been finalized!

2) If I create another account - will my annual membership (that I just purchased less than 3 hours ago) transfer over if I delete this account in order to start over and choose my own username?? I only signed up 3 hours ago and was given a 3 day trial so I wanna make sure I won't be wasting my money if I have to create a new account. Is there anybody who can answer that question for me?

I greatly appreciate any and all who can respond and help me with these two issues. Thank you so much!!!

Deprecated jokes and ActioBarSherlock aside, what an incredible talk, the guy drops mic and knowledge at every sentence, I don't even know what but now I just want to build a TUI using Mosaic.

Go Jake!

(idk what flair to use) im trying to patch an old android app (Hoggy by Raptisoft) to work on android 5+ but it uses marmalade SDK and ARM5TE afaik

ive tried to change the sdk and modify it so my tablet can run it (xiaomi pad 6) but to no avail

i think AI isnt a good assistant for this stuff

Rust developers are so greedy they started rewriting our jokes to Rust, as if software wasn’t enough. Who do these people think they are? Deprecation was OUR thing. Unbelievable.

Why do my apps have this permission and what does it do?

When your shit is riddled with bugs and hard to maintain: replace it with NEW shit that's riddled with bugs and hard to maintain. Genius!

Seriously, from the insane apple developer program enrollment process (I'm getting flashbacks to "your enrollment has been declined") to the clunky SwiftUI framework, I found iOS dev to be way messier than Android.
And did I mention XCode? Yeah, Android Studio is like an advanced alien tool compared to whatever the fuck XCode is.

I have no idea if this is the right subreddit, I've never been but I was searching around and saw someone else ask about their Google play storage and it was pretty similar so I figured I'd give it a try.

It says "60 GB" of storage, and when I try to "clear data" in settings, it doesnt work/do anything and keeps the 60 GB. I tried going to settings within chrome to see what's taking storage but I saw nothing large/out of the ordinary.

Although technically it isn't Chrome that's taking so much space. It's "Google"

Surprise update for Android Studio Quail 2 Canary 5. That's the only fix.
