I have always been interested in galactic archaeology, but I don’t think this is what they meant.

Did you know that dinosaurs lived on the other side of the Galaxy?

I finally reinstalled TikTok because of the whole kerfuffle, and I don’t even know why I deleted it the first time — it’s been so fast to learn my preferences and show me 99% videos of huskies arguing with their humans 😍

There’s a heat wave in France and it would be a great time to try GeForce Now so I could play games on my iPad without the PC producing heat, but Apple doesn’t think I should be allowed to play games I haven’t bought from them on a computing device they sold for $799.

Evil Under the Sun (1982) — 6/10

An okay case, not a very good movie, but what fantastic actresses. Diana Rigg is stunning and I did not expect her to have a wonderful singing voice.

J’étais prêt à me taper toute la première saison d’Umbrella Academy bien que ce ne soit pas très bon, parce que canicule et parce que Robert Sheehan, mais heureusement j’ai été sauvé par ma règle d’arrêter de regarder quand un personnage fait une blague sur le viol en prison.

This is just absurd. iOS is not a console; please do not peddle this Apple PR garbage. They’ve explicitly positioned the iPad as a computer, and only claim otherwise when it fits their (increasingly delusional) narrative about the App Store [twitter.com]

This will probably be resolved with more groveling from Tim Cook, but imagine if Trump’s executive order were the reason Apple was finally forced to allow sideloading apps.

@bdkjones:

Dear @tim_cook and @pschiller: Apple isn’t allowing Xbox’s app on iOS because you “can’t approve each game individually.” Can you share the logs where Apple reviews each YouTube video before allowing YouTube’s app on iOS? Or each Amazon product? Or each Netflix show? Thanks.

Mom: Take a look.

While GamePass & similar are great for certain devs now, also remember that this is now. We don’t know how these programs change when they become status quo, and whether they’ll be less/more/equally accessible as selling directly-to-consumer is. Apple Arcade already proved this. [twitter.com]

@RogueAmoeba:

Apparently, @apple “erroneously flagged” @charlieMonroe’s developer account, causing it to be disabled. A mistake was the best-case scenario here, but it is still deeply troubling.

Apple needs processes in place to ensure this simply can’t happen.

You now have three different places in Instagram to post portrait videos of yourself — the YouTube clone, the Snapchat clone and the TikTok clone 🤪

(Actually I think I saw a full-on portrait video in the classic feed once, so maybe that’s four.)

Apple’s focus on “removing UI elements”, “focusing on user content” is just bad design. The UI is the application.

With the rare exception of things like video players I NEED to find and use UI elements to do things.
