「fleece!」

They can run all the same stuff if you’re using the new Apple silicon, and I think that’s the whole point haha. They played the long game

I feel like we’re seeing the culmination of Apple’s efforts to get devs to use Metal.

When they released their toolkit in June, I thought it would be to get gaming just on Macs. I think now it’s a lot more likely that they wanted devs to convert games to work on their phones and tablets.

A lot more people have iPhones than have Macs or even Xboxs or gaming PCs or PS5s. If you can get people buying console games on Apple Silicon and you have devs converting their games to work with this massive, already-extant market, then you’ve just made a ton of money.

Think about how attractive that is if you’re someone who only wants to play a resident evil here or a warframe there. With crossplay you can play with your friends no matter where they are and now you can play it on your phone that probably makes the game look better than your PS4. Definitely better than your switch. Well maybe you don’t think about getting the new PlayStation because you only buy a couple games each generation, good thing your Apple TV can run those games too so you might as well just save the money and play on that with your PS4 or Xbox controller.

Very cool. I’m all for having my games everywhere and getting to play wherever I choose. And this is all very shrewd decisions on Apple’s part

There’s a lot of usage of “Traverse” in the app and I think that would be a wicked name as it lends itself to the functionality of the fediverse

I’ll be real, this looks really outdated and not in-line with iOS design language.

It looks like old Google Material Design stuff from 2014-ish. I’d love for an updated logo in-line with more modern iOS design language, something like Ivory or Mlem’s.

Either way I think the previous icon was more distinctive and more recognizable, whereas this one feels like an icon that was purchased in a pack, and not one for iOS apps.

Dear @gkd@lemmy.ml,

Feel free to read all this and think about it, or to disregard it all as the ramblings of a crazy man. Please realize this comes from a place of REALLY LIKING this app and certainly not from a place of malice!

I hate to be the asshole who hasn’t contributed at all and links documentation and guides to the people ACTUALLY doing work, but I’m gonna.

Apple’s docs do a good job showing some really basic examples and what makes a good icon, but I mostly want to bring your attention to a couple details of that safari icon they have as an example.

• SLIGHT amounts of depth, only when necessary
• A slight outward bubble/gradient

It’s also worth looking at the actual iOS icon bounding box that they show off around their developer webpages. It’s a great guide on how to design a well-weighted and well-proportioned app icon. Think about the icons of all the apps that you use daily, especially the bigger named ones. Think about the colors they use, how many colours they use, the shapes and proportions of those shapes.

Again, I know at this point I’m backseating, but these kinds of little details are really important to me haha. And apparently to others as well! You may not notice it, but your brain does

I really wish they’d give us an update on that ActivityPub support. It’s been so long since they’ve even mentioned it

Are you guys talking really simple themes like just having a different highlight color? Or are you guys talking more in-depth ones like changing the whole color scheme kind of like Dracula or Nord kind of like Apollo had?

Yeah that’s what I used to have too. Now it’s more just irritation due to micro-tears.

I’m probably going to keep trucking forward with the cream for a little while longer, but it’s good to know the surgery is an absolute fix. Thanks!

I hope not.

I really understand wanting to keep distance from Meta even if I think it will prove everyone right with what they think about the fediverse. I think more federation = more better, but we’ll see how their moderation goes.

I think so long as the greater fediverse is over their “tumblr is full of whiny red haired liberals” phase, people would be more down to federate with it. Tumblr is actually great for longform blog posting, and it’s a format I find myself really missing when I use other platforms. I’d love to be able to interact with Tumblr without having to use the horrible ad-ridden app or website

Like the frenulum on your dick right? I had the same issue. Doc gave me some topical steroids to spur collagen growth and make it stretchier before we went forward with getting it snipped.

It works fine-ish now, but I’m curious how the snip worked for you

Are you guys going to have the new icon ready for the App Store submission? It’ll help with downloads when the icon people see is something they can take a little more seriously.

And I know there’s probably no solid plans for it yet so I’m not asking for any answers or anything, but I hope you guys plan on adding some way to support development whether that be some in-app payment or a link somewhere

Unfortunately I need my password manager available on all the platforms I use. I love Apple’s, and I totally trust them with my data, but I can’t install it on any browser or my Windows or Linux machines so it’s a nonstarter for me.

This is haunting.

There’s no gore or anything, it’s just twisted metal and cables. Still, seeing it and thinking “humans were alive in there mere days ago” made my gut drop. It’s not like looking at wreckage of an old ship or plane or something, it’s different. Because it’s so small, it feels more intimate. Like looking at a coffin vs looking at a graveyard
