That definitely matches my experience. I spend so much more time re-writing existing songs than I did when I was younger. It used to be almost entirely creating new material and moving on to create more. I wonder how much is my standards ha

When a human recalls something from memory, the process of remembering itself alters the memory. It's an analog process. So a human creating art, code etc. based on their knowledge and memory is an inherently flawed analog copying proc

I'd think it's more comparable to compression. No one would argue that a jpeg or mp3 file can't contain a reasonable representation of the original because it is smaller.

That does not link to a real Michigan government site. Completely fake. Nothing to see here but a tweet of a GIF of a fake website, probably by a fake Twitter account.

I understand what you are saying and agree that algorithmic manipulation is a problem. I think it's very profitable for these companies and people can be manipulated by it. I still think it's a small aspect of the problems of the

It was a good explanation of some issues with current social media platforms. But I don't think that ad driven business models and algorithmic content manipulation are the biggest problems we are facing in all this. The fundamental pro

Thanks for sharing. It doesn't seem to work well in Safari on desktop or iOS. Seemed to connect but if you make the video larger than thumbnail or fullscreen it either doesn't show or only displays a small sliver.

Yep. Search is terrible. I don't see how the app store search ranking is so irrelevant, especially after the "clean up". How can crap like this get in the store at all. I recently had to resubmit our legit app over and over f

I've had the understanding that subscription isn't an option for most types of apps. Auto-renewing subscriptions are only allowed for content or services. And non-renewing subscriptions are pretty narrow in scope as well. What typ

I think the biggest issue is you switched to using credits. That and you've only let this play out for 20 days. People can take quite a while to evaluate an app and decide to purchase. You have more experimenting to do. A one-time upgr

That was a lot of analysis that seems pretty useless to me. What action would you take based on that information? I know that my photos get more likes if I use hashtags. If I don't hashtag a photo I only get likes from my existing foll

Can you offer any more detail on what you were specifically forbidden from doing? Is it that you aren't allowed to offer updates outside of the App Store to App Store purchased apps? Or is it the method you were using with OmniKeyMaste

by timeuser 13y ago
Perhaps. It's an interesting theory. I've seen it claimed in the past that Apple has given explicit permission to activate in app purchasable features through other means such as contacting a developer's server with an unlock

As I said in my other response it seems likely Apple won't allow these upgrade schemes any more than they are allowing Omni to do upgrades around the App Store. Why would they block what Omni was doing entirely outside of the App Store

by timeuser 13y ago
The drawbacks are pretty significant. A lot of users really aren't that savvy or motivated to register ahead or deal with some complicated upgrade process. If you have an app that's been in the store for a while it's even mor

First, thank you for continuing to participate in this discussion. I think you are bringing some different perspective and make some good points. > I agree, whistleblower protections would be a massively positive change in how governance

Firefox on OS X is remarkably better in the past year. I ditched Chrome many months ago because Firefox now is better with memory and remaining quick and responsive than Chrome for me on OS X.

Permethrin treated clothing is the best deterrent I've used. Deet doesn't do much in my experience but if ticks get on pants treated with permethrin they get off as quick as they can. I've use this spray to treat my clothing before going ou

Yeah, I used Chrome for a while and have switched back to Firefox. The latest versions of Firefox are much faster, Chrome seems to have lost the speed advantage it had for a bit. Chrome didn't seem to have any better memory usage either. Gi
