@chas_hodges on O3C you mentioned missing a modern version of Sega Rally.. have you seen Over Jump Rally? https://t.co/GniQzwm89o

@jbmorley I’d been meaning to ask - I’ve got used to the Symbolic icon being “the” icon for my current hobby app, but you don’t include any terms of use for the output (that I saw). But Apple seem to disallow use of SFSymbols in icons anyway. It’s great while in dev though! Any thoughts?

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@jbmorley Sure, thanks! But I don’t feel I warrant that - it was only minor feedback I gave! :)

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@jbmorley Feature idea: maybe a quick toggle to use a flat colour BG? You can easily set both gradient colours to the same, but making it an option would add a new “style” that people might not otherwise try.

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@jbmorley Only minor: the app it launches to an “Open” dialog, which was a bit confusing until I tried File->New.

Maybe bug: the guidelines overlay doesn’t seem to work when viewing the iOS icon?

But functionally it’s great!

@intothecast @StephenHilger What’s your most often restarted/replayed retro game, or the one you default to when you have a throwaway half hour?

e.g. I usually don’t finish it but I must’ve played the start of Sonic 2 hundreds of times over the years, on every emulator/device capable 😅

@siracusa @rmondello Pretty sure their password requirements included a special character even though the red text didn’t communicate that. Adding one made the “Next” button enable

@parrots FWIW, as a Brit travelling to Europe we’d usually get 6 days on the slopes on a holiday, not 5.

(Not an opinion on the pricing, just the length of the pass! I’m a full Slopes convert now)

@caseyliss I was surprised by this when I returned my Series 3, let alone another 5 years later.

Aside from anything else the environmental impact seems entirely unnecessary - presumably these perfectly fine watches have to go through a full refurbishment cycle?

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@LiamBME any points for most niche hardware on day 1? Runs fine on the Odin Pro under ARM Windows - so glad I can play it on here finally! Congrats on the launch 🥳

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@robgough I generally have - it makes some things more awkward/flat out impossible, but I think having that divide is healthier.

Would be nice to be able to “pair” IDs though (for things like handoff/universal control) without merging access to everything in iCloud.

@ChristianSelig @rmondello New Zealand Story!

@phildrip git config help.autocorrect 20

Will auto-correct typos and give you a 2 second get-out before it re-runs the command 🙂

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@mckjerral Huh my streak was preserved. Maybe a timezone screwup if you did yesterday’s before 5am? (Which would be Wednesday in NYC)

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@DroiX_Store Have you got any tips on how you got Grand Mountain Adventure to work on the RG552? I've tried installing from the Play Store but it just crashes on launch..

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@hnjslater I did do it last year but….

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@lapcatsoftware I get this was a joke tweet but we literally have this concept in the UK. It’s called Argos and you don’t even get away with a product name, you need a 7 digit code.

Somehow they still have nearly 1000 branches.

[Simon Frost @SFrost007]

@hnjslater I always code in American but often comment in English. Probably makes me the worst type..
