• GoG
• Itch.io
• BandCamp
• iTunes Music Store (it’s still around but can be hard to find because of Apple Music streaming service)
• Amazon’s music store (but it’s crap quality and they put audio watermarks in it - don’t use them while the two above options exist)
• Comixology before Amazon bought and deleted them
• Occasionally there are websites where you can purchase video content for download, but it’s quite rare. I remember buying anime from such a site before.

My experience is with iPhone (yeah yeah boo Apple).

Most of how I learned was just digging through Apple’s documentation, focusing on one goal at a time. How do I draw stuff to the screen? How do I handle touch inputs? How do I use the built in UI elements? How do I play sounds? How do I get GPS data? Things like that. I’d usually have an idea of a specific mini-project that would make use of a specific new tool.

Note that I already had some programming experience (although it wasn’t much) before I started teaching myself this way.

Here’s Apple’s website: https://developer.apple.com/develop/

Just start by downloading XCode and playing with one of their sample projects. SpriteKit is particularly easy to get started with and there’s a sample project for it. (I’m assuming you want to make something like a game. If you want to make more of a utility app, look up SwiftUI).

If you aren’t an iPhone user “Apple fanboy”, you can try this: https://developer.android.com/courses

Also many game engines (e.g. Godot, Unreal, Unity) have support for both iOS and Android.

I used to make mobile apps as a hobby and I still get the weekly report of my dwindling numbers.

It’s not separate builds, but the App Store already checks your location when you access it, and it uses that location data along with other hints you are under EU jurisdiction to decide whether to allow you to sideload or not.

Or you can use the developer tools to perform a more limited form of sideloading in any country.

Not sure they’ve been around long enough for the problems you suggested to come up.

Hmm maybe I’ll look into it again. The concern had something to do with having to spoof a serial number. I own Final Cut and would love to have the beefy GPU and CPU in my desktop accelerate it, but also am very afraid of losing my main account with that and a lot more. Already my current workflow is to render on my old MacBook as uncompressed, then transfer it to my desktop and use FFMPEG to compress. Better results and much faster than trying to have my MacBook do any sort of video compression.

Inkscape is for vector graphics, GIMP is for pixel graphics. You probably want to use a combination of both for many situations (design the logo in Inkscape, touch it up and scale it in GIMP).

From my experience, GIMP is close to par with Photoshop in terms of both features and user friendliness. Inkscape is unfortunately much harder to use than Illustrator.

I got macOS running in a VM on my Linux desktop. But then I didn’t want to connect my main iCloud account because I have heard they may ban you if you they detect you are doing stuff like this.

Without an iCloud account I can’t really do the stuff I actually would want to use macOS for, like using Apple’s movie editing software, or making iPhone apps with XCode. The default mail app is nicer than any alternative for Linux I’m aware of, at least.

They used to spawn a small obsidian platform if the portal happened to not spawn on solid ground

There’s only one explanation for this staggering difference in maternal mortality

As much as I want to see data that demonstrates this, there is a very obvious other explanation for a staggering increase in maternal mortality in the years 2020 and 2021. And the mortality rate went down in 2022.

Keep following the data but also stay wary of clickbait.

They’ve made the correlation to race very clear though. But to show the effect of abortion bans, they need to compare between states with bans and states without bans.

Ah, got me

It’s totally possible to make cool mobile apps, but most of the ones you see are just a big company porting their website.

If you add that to the definition, you could still have a “square” with a segment of a circle connecting the edges in the middle

• AI Code suggestions will guide you to making less secure code, not to mention often being lower quality in other ways.
• AI code is designed to look like it fits, not be correct. Sometimes it is correct. Sometimes it’s close but has small errors. Sometimes it looks right but is significantly wrong. Personally I’ve never gotten ChatGPT to write code without significant errors for more than trivially small test cases.
• You aren’t learning as much when you have ChatGPT do it for you, and what you do learn is “this is what chat gpt did and it worked last time” and not “this is what the problem is and last time this is the solution I came up with and this is why that worked”. In the second case you are far better equipped to tackle future problems, which won’t be exactly the same.

All that being said, I do think there is a place for chat GPT in simple queries like asking about syntax for a language you don’t know. But take every answer it gives you with a grain of salt. And if you can find documentation I’d trust that a lot more.

Not Gwen specifically, but I’d recommend seeking mental health resources to anyone who has been exposed to League of Legends.

The difference between the SteamDeck and the PlayStation that makes the Steam Deck a “personal computer” is that you can run whatever software you want on a Steam Deck. SteamOS even comes with “desktop mode” which works much like you’d expect a desktop Linux OS to work. If you don’t like SteamOS, you can simply install a different OS.

You can plug a keyboard, mouse, and monitor into a Steam deck

Unity was also the first game in the series to have actual multiplayer co-op missions. Previous AC “multiplayer” was just dumb mini games.

I tried sublime but I very quickly moved to vim. If you don’t like using the keyboard for everything, you can enable mouse support.
