I think they still do that. They’ll probably have in-depth reviews of iOS 17 (and its watch and iPad counterparts) on Monday or Tuesday and Sonoma coverage a week after that, so we’ll know for sure soon.

Sounds like the local equivalent of Equestria at War for Hearts of Iron (three major continents, many countries on each, timeline expanded into the 1960s).

Its sun does, yes. The article specifically calls that out as a scripted event.

Seems to me that this should be priced up front. “In-app purchases” is a big no.

Won’t be that long till you can get an adapter for existing CCS cars, so eventually vehicles like mine will be able to use almost any charging station there is. In the meantime, I’ve almost entirely charged at home and had no failures yet with public chargers.

The Maverick is the current equivalent.

I subscribe to that - servers and datacenters aren’t free to run. Stand-alone games, though, have to be a one-time fee for me to pick up.

They’re one of my exceptions. The API/data needed for weather apps to function is not free (at least in the US), with the possible exception of NOAA, though I’m not sure if they offer an API for apps to use.

That’s why the developers have to pass the cost on. If you’ve got a free weather app, you’re probably paying for it with ad views. I’m personally not interested in doing that, so I chose an app I liked that lets me choose which source I want to use and customise the display.

Another thing I have a subscription for is a flight tracker. Operating ADS-B receivers is also not free, nor is additional data some apps get about delays and the like.

I also have a WoW subscription because servers are an ongoing cost (not factoring in continual development and new features even within a single expansion) but won’t keep paying for single player games. My purchase should cover development costs and the cost of fixing bugs.

Other stuff? Nope. I’ll spend a few dollars for useful utilities, but everything seems to be free with in-app purchases now, so most of the stuff I’ve got is grandfathered in from when you paid a reasonable fee that covered development costs and you weren’t hounded.

Always liked the fact that they chose Yamato as the vessel to fail due to a design flaw.

It is believed by some that the eponymous battleship sank more quickly than she otherwise might have due to a design flaw in the torpedo bulges.

Because everything has to be a video now. Ugh.

Ship navigation lights and aircraft lights.

The intended purpose is to indicate a vessel’s current location and course so that other operators can see and avoid, especially at night.

Larger aircraft are also fitted with collision avoidance systems that automatically prompt pilots to climb or descend (and synchronise with the system on the other aircraft).

Bonus: day shapes are displayed on vessel mastheads to indicate the operating status of a vessel during daylight hours.

It also should open the embedded link in a post, but that also just goes to the post.

Updated the App Store version today, since my stabbing the beta link still yields nothing. :(

And I still get a flash of the day/light theme loading first before the OLED dark theme pops in as it should.

I can get it to show up if I search for a flight on FlightAware.

Some apps somehow do get the stock keyboard to show a number row (I don’t have any third party keyboards installed) but I’ve never figured out how to get the setting to stick.

I haven’t used Telegram in ages. Now I think they may have reset my username. And I can’t reset it because it insists it’s taken.

Oh well. It’s just another service full of crazy.

That affects all apps. I’d like to change it in just this one.

Definitely needs a way to save/share images.

Ugh, I was afraid of that. I’m also testing Memmy, and after some prodding I managed to get its image viewer to present a save icon when tapping on images from the post view, so I can do it there for now, but I’m sure not everyone runs two clients.

I’m really used to a long press popping up a context menu in addition to whatever other UI there may be, so hopefully at some point one of the apps will add that, and Mlem will add save in some fashion.

(I love to keep cute cat pictures. Missing mine a lot!)

Such a minor thing, but it drives me bonkers. Also hate when my Kindle left-justifies text even though I have it set to use the entire line width. (It overrides my font settings sometimes, too, which I hate. I selected my thirdparty font for a reason -- much easier on my eyes).
