I believe all iOS apps get updated automatically based on apples app rollout process.
But you can still go do it via the App Store using fewer steps. Just click on your profile pic (top right) and you should see all available app updates.

The wii is basically a slightly more powerful GameCube with novel controls. It competed with (and outsold) the ps3 and xbox360 which offered HD visuals and integrated online play.

I put your comment into chatGPT verbatim and it came back with The Wild Shore by Kim Stanley Robinson. Any chance that’s the one? I’d be interested in reading it.

people are indoors during peak sunlight hours far more than ever in the last 100 years

> As we move further away from it we stack up the health problems self inflicted: crooked teeth, wisdom teeth, miopia, acnee, vid-d deficiency, autoimmune diseases, depression, anxiety, etc
The rest of these seem intuitively correct but could you expand on the dental problems?
sharatvir | 3 years ago | on: We’ve been forced to pull Twitterrific from the app stores
I’m able to do (almost) that with the web client. The “following” tab is just tweets from people I follow, with the latest ones first.
No “you might like” or “x liked” posts show up there for me.

Not an expert but it could be that those regions have more extreme wet/dry cycles, whereas the hottest parts of North America are deserts without much vegetation.

My dog often uses his “hands” to get our attention or to ask for doors to be opened.
sharatvir | 4 years ago | on: Reddit raises $410M in new funding
I love Apollo on iOS. Without that I’d primarily just browse Reddit on desktop web. The official mobile app and mobile web is actually a disaster.

Twitter banned an individual Account for violating their policy. Not quite the same as a government forcing them to block tweets.

Just look at swimming pools and amusement parks for a parallel.
White Americans felt that it was better to shut them down entirely rather than letting black Americans enjoy them also.
They decided to remained something that they presumably enjoyed because another group was allowed to use it as well.

Private mode should not be detectable at all. It serves no purpose to the user if sites can detect and block its usage.

Why should white supremacy and neo nazism be a protected class in the same vein as ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation?
sharatvir | 5 years ago | on: Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
Everyone concern trolling over these things always brings up hypotheticals in an attempt to debate principals while fully ignoring everything that has actually happened in the real world.

There may be more white people killed by police (in sheer volume) but that’s not the same as white people being more likely to die by police.
