@daringfireball the 2024 election needs to be based around abortion rights, mass shootings and how dangerous TFG would be if he got back into the White House.

Robert Card, an Army reservist with a history of mental health issues, is suspected of killing at least 18 people at multiple locations in Maine on Wednesday.

Hours before the rampage, the Senate voted 53-45 to adopt an amendment making it easier for veterans with mental disabilities to get guns. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/senate-adopts-amendment-veterans-mental-issues-guns-1234863402/

@GottaLaff the worst thing about this is that he knew all along it was lies and proceeded to push the lies and even “write” a book to sell those lies. Very different from the crazies like the “my pillow” guy. Whatever he’s giving up better send trump down for a long long time!!!

As much as I like the idea of a foldable iPad, I don't think Apple should be doing any kind of foldables until it can be done with zero visible or perceptible screen crease

@stroughtonsmith you’ll never have zero perceptible crease. They just need to make sure they get the UI right.

Tapbots was founded 15 years ago today! Okay, yesterday to be exact. But to celebrate this moment in our timeline, we are finally releasing some Tapbots and Ivory goods over on Cotton Bureau! So head on over, peruse the merchandise and buy (or don’t buy) something for yourself before they are gone. Either way, we wouldn’t be here today without all of your support, so thank you very much! 🙏

@daringfireball I disagree. Google is still the most successful and most used search engine. It behooves Apple to give the people what they want. Plus the outliers can change their search engine in the settings.

Pixel Pals 2.0.6 is now available with a fully transparent widgets option 🫥 (as well as lots of other background customization 🥳)

Transparent home screen widgets are really fun, can show just about anything too. Weather, storage, battery, calendar, time, date, quotes

iPhone home screen video where you can see a device stats widget with a transparent background (the background is a red sky, Japanese-style landscape) and then a weather widget is configured with a transparent background

@christianselig why is there no link to your app in your profile? Surely it would help when you tease cool features like this.
