It’s not that weird:

https://cooking.nytimes.com/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/ https://www.theguardian.com/food

Recipes are actually quite common for a lot of papers, and Apple News+ has a lot of those as well as almost every recipe published in a magazine.

Couldn’t you make the same argument for any holiday?

You can’t celebrate Christmas without gifts because you should be spending all your time with your family so getting together and spending time together doesn’t count.

Seems like you’re just redrawing the lines to protect your argument, all holidays can be celebrated in a fairly noncommercial way because the theme of them is basically “spend time together”.

God I wish the worst thing this timeline had was Gen Z cringe, sounds like heaven.

Apple had a strong relationship with Pangea at the time, who developed that game. From 1999-2006, most Macs shipped with some sort of game (usually Bugdom). Reimaging a Mac didn’t really exist at the time, most of the time they were just rolled out to classrooms as is with a few extra programs installed.

My 2006 Mac Mini had Marble Blast Gold from Garage Games, that was the last one I was aware of.

Features: Tablet layout on iPad, GIF scrobbling with swipe.

Bugs: Database error, UI missing requiring quit and restart.

Overall though, Voyager is amazing & indispensable. Great job :)

Great! Looking forward to it. Colour scheme and the iOS focus remind me of Bean, which was my favourite Lemmy client up until the dev abandoned it.

Voyager is great but it does feel like a web app at times, especially when you get the very common “can’t load the database” error. It looks the part compared to Apollo, but it doesn’t always act it.

Love Voyager but this is the biggest downside. Would be happy to join the TestFlight when it’s up. Good luck!

Also, the Wii was a fad. Nintendo and others wildly overestimated how many people would come back and buy another console after buying a Wii. Turns out most of them were rotting in closets. The Wii U could have improved on the Wii in every possible way and it wouldn’t have done well.

This isn’t the case for the Switch. I don’t think the Switch 2 will do Switch numbers, those were very artificially boosted by the pandemic & the novelty of the form factor. However, I doubt Nintendo will have any trouble moving units.

Or, he did a Nazi salute because, and I know this is some outside the box, crazy thinking: He’s a Nazi.

I know, right? Racist, apartheid profiteer, open supporter of racist far right parties across the world, frequent promoter & amplifier of far right wing and openly racist & anti-Semitic voices on his social media platform? The guy who just bought his way into power and has funded the rise of mask-off fascism in America? That guy is a Nazi? No way.

This is especially hilarious because so much of this rhetoric came from Trump himself! He basically established his political voice by playing peanut gallery through the whole Obama presidency and pushing birther nonsense.

We all know that this is a bullshit statement that Republicans trot out to try and shame people into not opposing them, that’s a given. But to use that to defend Trump, who spent all of the Obama presidency doing EXACTLY that loudly and vocally is a special level of irony.
