OnWriting

This completely goes against Apple's guidelines 3.1.2(a):

If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for. For example, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.

I wonder if there will be any repercussions. I doubt it.

My entire Meet call just got dropped and can no longer connect. Lots of 502's.

The good news is that it happened on a Friday -- see you all next week!

Anyone care to guess as to why? At face value it seems like a very odd word to censor, I have absolutely no clue what the motivation might be.

Anecdotally, there's a large amount of people who will read a book wholly for the purpose of being able to say they've read it. Whether it's a sense of elitism, vanity or bits of both -- it's strikingly obvious when you ask deeper questions about a book and they can only respond with basic one sentences you could infer from the synopsis.

I believe the above has been amplified due to the false dichotomy of information technology vs good ol' books.

I'm genuinely surprised they went with a pink/purple/light brown colour scheme, and didn't present any alternatives.

It seems very strange not to have selectable colour schemes - even a light/dark mode equivalent of their chosen palette would do wonders. Is this not standard now?

My email drafts can't even save. A popup saying "Oops, something went wrong. Recent changes may not have been saved."

No images either!

Gmail is practically unusable at the moment. It's been going on for a while too, so I'm interested in the post mortem for this.

I'm in Sydney, Australia.

I'm in a similar situation where I'm in Australia, but I work with many colleagues in the UK. This means late night meetings and work commitments that fall outside of the usual 9-5.

How do you stop it from going 9-9? Block out times in the middle of the day for leisure?
