@help Replies only get some Markdown treatment now?
@jarrod Speaking of which, here’s @gruber’s advice:
> The real goldmine isn’t that Apple gets a cut of every App Store transaction. It’s that Apple’s platforms have the best apps, and users who are drawn to the best apps are thus drawn to the iPhone, Mac, and iPad. That edge is waning. […]
>
> Apple should focus its developer relations on cultivating that motivation, and trust that in the end that will continue to prove lucrative for Apple itself. They should do whatever it takes to make their cut of App Store transactions feel like a beneficial bargain to developers, not an oppressive tax.
@lexfri It’s okay to not love something as much as everyone else! (I liked them both. The movie made me laugh way more than I expected.)
@bkryer 😆
@numericcitizen 🤷♂️ Maybe not! But I like ‘Duo’. I’m hoping for it.
@numericcitizen I’m betting they ride it out, at least until each product’s next revision.
@numericcitizen But it will have two sides that fold together—the inner screen—right?
@aa I’ve got it purchased! But I’ve got to do some door swapping and shenanigans to make it deadbolt-compatible. Will report back.
@lmika My count has ballooned after starting my guiding business. I take so many pictures to share with clients!
@numericcitizen Big photo guy! 📸
@skramer1946 Solid ending. 🙂
@mroutley yeah me too! 😅
@matt_birchler Not sure if this was intentional given the context, but you’ve got Niléane’s name as “Nealeon” a couple of times in there. 🙂
@rmondello That’s awesome. Wish I would have known a month ago before I did the CSV dance on my Mac. Will try it out when I switch my parents later this year. 👍
@caseyliss 😱 Can’t wait to watch.
@jarrod Related: I wonder if Asha Sharma will have it. She’s a self-professed non-gamer, but is now Microsoft’s Gaming CEO (gift link), taking over from longtime Xbox Chief Phil Spencer who was personally hardcore into gaming.
@manton After he was re-elected, it’s much more difficult to get my hopes up that the MAGA crowd will wake up to their mistake. We’ll see.
@pratik Nope. My @heydingus account is there, but just automated for blog posts to that site. @heyjb.me on Bluesky & Threads gets crossposts.
@johnvoorhees Nice callback! 😉 Looks really useful.
@jarrod Actually, I really quite like everything about Acme Weather — except for its name and icon. 😅
@stephenrobles Didn’t even realize this was a thing. I guess I’m glad I wasn’t relying on it. Good luck with Claude!
@stephenrobles I’ve had a few of these Wemo Stage ones around the house for years, and, yeah, the battery life (coin cell) has been pretty terrible and they’re getting ever more unreliable. If you like this kind, it might be time for an upgrade!
