Forgejo is Gitea. It was a soft fork of Gitea, and more recently a hard fork.
You can read about why they hard forked, and decide for yourself if it’s worth switching, but the consensus is that Forgejo is in better hands than Gitea.
Currently it’s easy to migrate from Gitea to Forgejo, but the longer you wait and the more it diverges from Gitea, the harder it will become to migrate.
If you like the Forgejo direction and think it’s in better hands than Gitea, you might want to consider migrating sooner rather than later. All of your data should remain intact as it’s essentially a drop in replacement. This should only take you a few minutes if you’re using the Docker version of Gitea.
Makes sense. The article calls it “unwarranted gatekeeping,” but they wouldn’t say that if they knew how Android internals work.
Looking at the video demo for Circle to Search, it’s very likely they built this on top of ActionsServices, an Android component that enables extra interactions on top of the Recents switcher. This is already what’s being used to do things like OCR in the Recents switcher.
Other non-Google ROMs use ActionsServices too, but their implementations vary, and they can’t just “tack on” something as complicated as this onto any vender implementation of ActionServices and expect it to work. They might not even have a vendor rollout plan for this thing yet, for all we know it was rushed out the door.
Google has had a tight partnership with Samsung since the Pixel 6 came out, which is why it doesn’t surprise me that Samsung will be getting this feature first. Google can essentially boss Samsung around for little system things like this.
The “for a long time” comment was probably due to Android 15 already being mostly final at this point. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were core changes to Android to allow more pluggable customizations to the Recents switcher in Android 16.
I really hope this will let my AR glasses work. I was bummed they didn’t work with my Pixel 6 Pro, and half the reason I went for an 8 Pro were the initial display out support news from July.
When this workaround was reported to not work, I was pretty bummed, but this seems like a good sign. I’ll be building my own ROM anyway, so I can easily set this property enabled by default with no need for root.
People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.
