The fact of the matter is Apple's rules precluded any chance of a mainstream alternative marketplace people might care about, like Steam, from ever existing.
If iOS were as open as macOS to app stores like Steam, enabling things like cross-buy and save sync of all your favorite games between Windows, Mac, Steam Deck and iOS, you bet your ass millions of people would want to use it
Anybody still shopping at Target? I haven't in a year.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.
Tangent v0.11.6 is out! This one wasn't a paper cut. It could very easily break the parser.
If these pictures are accurate, I’m considerably more interested in this device. Unfolding to see media larger is the whole point of a folding phone for me. The “normal phone that unfolds” phones don’t do this particularly well; the max width often doesn’t change.
The real question will be: can I stomach dropping my 16 Pro’s telephoto?
If the second lens is a telephoto (it won’t be), I’m so sold.
Apple’s Rumored Foldable May Be Smaller Than We Think

Sigh. I just saw two posts here pushing the "real authors don't use em dashes, that's an AI thing" myth and I am tired.
Hi. Hello. "Real author" here. I have never used AI in any part of my writing or process, ever. I use em dashes all the time. So do other real authors. In fact, there'd be a fight to the death if you tried to take our em dashes away from us. Sometimes, a semicolon just won't do, and you *need* that em dash. Other times, you *must* use an em dash (when a character gets interrupted mid-sentence or mid-word, for example).
The *reason* you see em dashes in AI slop is because those LLMs were literally built on the stolen works of real authors. Who use em dashes. All the time.
@ada wikilinks only is a perfectly adequate organizational strategy :)
