It's refreshing to know that this is the icon of an officially distributed Apple application in 2025. I really hope it will outlive the Liquid Glass era without any changes.

Does anyone know how long it takes until a Google Play app shows up as released on the store? It's been 1.5h since it shows it as released in the dashboard, but it's still not available. Or is it?

The only thing I ever want to do after clicking a Dropbox link (to a folder I have access to) is to view the file locally, in Finder. Is there really no way to do that? Is that part of the “business” upgrade they keep bugging me about?

Does anybody know what it is exactly? It's written "Märli-Fee" (fairy tale fairy) on it. Just some proprietary audio tape device for fairytales?

13 years later, Rakete will finally get a Steam release!
Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3814090/...
Still the same game as originally created for the "5-Button Experimental Gameplay Contest" in 2012 — but with a few convenience features like rebindable controls.

Had to use Illustrator for some design work (for reasons...): It's incredibly broken. But maybe I'm just using uncommon features like opening and exporting files or using sRGB colors.
Is that already a result of AI-first/vibe coding, or was it already so bad before?
