✨The 1.1 update of my read-later app #Flyleaf is now live on the iOS and macOS #AppStore. It includes some nice quality-of-life improvements, so make sure to grab it!
Uhhhhhh I made my first update to Museum Shuffle in a year a few days ago and what on Earth is this??
This reminds me of when in 2021 @jordibruin told me that it was listed in the "New apps, features, and content" section of the App Store overseas and my numbers went crazy. 🤔
#Apple#AppStore#AI#GenerativeAI#ContentModeration: "Apple has removed a number of AI image generation apps from the App Store after 404 Media found these apps advertised the ability to create nonconsensual nude images, a sign that app store operators are starting to take more action against these types of apps.
Overall, Apple removed three apps from the App Store, but only after we provided the company with links to the specific apps and their related ads, indicating the company was not able to find the apps that violated its policy itself.
Apple’s action comes after we reported on Monday that Instagram advertises nonconsensual AI nude apps. By browsing Meta’s Ad Library, which archives ads on its platform, when they ran, on what platforms, and who paid for them, we were able to find ads for five different apps, each with dozens of ads. Two of the ads were for web-based services, and three were for apps on the Apple App Store. Meta deleted the ads when we flagged them. Apple did not initially respond to a request for comment on that story, but reached out to me after it was published asking for more information. On Tuesday, Apple told us it removed the three apps on its App Store." https://www.404media.co/apple-removes-nonconsensual-ai-nude-apps-following-404-media-investigation/
Apple has removed a number of AI image generation apps from the App Store after they were found to be advertising the ability to create nonconsensual nude images.
Apple’s actions come following an investigation by @404mediaco, which found adverts for these apps being pushed on Instagram. The apps were only removed when 404 Media provided links to them and their related ads to Apple, indicating “the company was not able to find the apps that violated its policy itself.”

◉ Fast Tracker — my simple, reliable and privacy-centric Intermittent Fasting Tracker — has been updated with Siri/Shortcuts Integration, Fasting Zone and Fast Reminder Notifications, and more.
It's now easier than ever to start and stop a fasting session… you don’t even have to open the app!
Also #TIL, you could connect to a remote #SMB share right from the native Files app on your #iPhone. Did just that and copied over some BIOS files and ROMs, now I'm off to the races.
A tech editor recently played Game Boy Advance games on his iPhone thanks to a new emulator called iGBA, which may be the first Game Boy Advance emulator allowed on the App Store since Apple began allowing emulators last week. But is the app an unauthorized copy? Read more at @theverge. https://flip.it/AxcjDo #Tech#Apple#AppStore#Gaming#VideoGames#GameBoy
