The cool thing about "Every App is actually just a browser, and we're all using Chromium" is that now critical, actively exploited vulnerabilities like that WebP CVE-2023-4863 apply to dozens of software components that your inventory doesn't know are effected.

When did JIRA become Jira?
💡 Did you know: all the tools you need to make Playdate games are free and available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. For testing on hardware, every Playdate is a devkit. You can also distribute and sideload games independently, outside our game store!
⚠️ PSA for @broadcastsapp users; it looks like iCloud Private Relay in the latest (iOS 16/17) versions of iOS/macOS introduces periodic stalling issues to streaming audio apps that use the system audio engine, like Broadcasts, Triode, and Apple apps like Safari. This manifests as playback stopping after 5 minutes. Initial testing suggests disabling iCloud Private Relay may fix the issue, until Apple tweaks something their side. Let us know if that does it for you!

The money earned from the App Store was about half of what we were earning from products sold on our website.
It only took the App Store another three quarters to surpass that amount. And a year after that, it was double the amount of our own web store.
The trend was clear.
Today, we only sell one product on our website, and that’s mainly because of volume licensing which the App Store can't handle.

It started with me opting not to keep smart lights when I moved. I found the routine of pressing physical switches more rewarding than the tap of a touch screen. I've since gotten into vinyl, and film photography. I still stream music, and I still take photos with my iPhone when it's more convenient, but I find the physicality of analog devices uniquely rewarding.
@louie People in tech I’ve worked with are flabbergasted when they find out my daily browser is Safari. 🤷♂️
@saagar :atthistime:
How about:
- Deprecated: No updates
- Depreciated: Security updates only
🙃
The solution to this, of course, is for Apple to accept submissions for ANY PLATFORM with the latest Xcode as soon as ANY PLATFORM needs the latest version.
With so many APIs and improvements being available across platforms, restricting distribution hurts everyone (customers, Apple, and us developers).

Go on, Johnny.
@juanarzola Ah, OK, I see. Thanks for the use case! Having that flexibility and reusability definitely would be nice.

@juanarzola Like a way to resume an animation from a previous state? Or being able to generate your own animation progress state based on your own data?
A list of recent hostile moves by #Google's #Chrome team; handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :
