@FloWritesCode I’ve done it with Helm, or even in my ChatGPT project. It rarely misses something, but I often have to do some little adjustments to make it sound less translated, and also fix stuff that don’t sound natural.

Tried a bit of ASO for Games, I don't understand the rules. I thought plural were handled by Apple, from my changes it looks like they don’t. I was correctly ranking for queries containing « Jeu », now I only use « Jeux » and I'm not ranked for « Jeu » anymore. #BuildInPublic

While cleaning the Dreamcast short list, I've discovered that the Dreamkey version of ChuChu Rocket! exists in 2 different packaging, with different UPC and product code. So it is at least 3 different EU version. In order, normal, v1 and v2. #videogame

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

Along the way I’m going to continue marking games as official/unlicensed/hacks etc. In order to only show relevant one for collecting. Hoping it will make the process smoother. #BuildInPublic #Videogame

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

Cleaning the database for @GamesAppiOS is a long long process, so I decided that I’m going first to focus on 25/30 games that are main games on each platforms, and most likely to be added. #BuildInPublic #videogame

2026 and I still cannot just remove local attachment from Messages, but keep them in iCloud so I can redownload them later if needed.

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

I decided to start cleaning NeoGeo games, thought it would be simple. Turns out no. Between converts of MVS to AES, Homebrew released physically or unlicensed games… this is a mess. I think, I’m going to split AES and MVS, that would be a first step.

After some tests, I’m going with the 3rd option, and I decided to use TipKit so users can understand that this specific card is tappable. Only occurs if you have a library of 10+ games and you never rated a game before. #BuildInPublic

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

Working on the personal rating feature of Games, still trying to find the best way to present it. 1st is not really readable. 2nd is classic, a user might have to scroll, 3rd is nice, but this would be the only card tappable, not sure about discoverability. #BuildInPublic

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

Fun thing of buying used game, you sometime found piece of past users. That was inside PES3.

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

Some new additions for the collection, obviously nothing special 😅. At least it will help me improve @GamesAppiOS database. Going to scan those and update all the data.

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

@krzyzanowskim I need to try without my device at night, but I not sure it is worth it. 😅

[Jordan@PhysicalParadise @SoWhatAboutGame]

There are loads of games that have been delisted from the eShop over the years. Gone.

Praise be to PHYSICAL games: https://t.co/0vMx9fGbT2

⬆️ Delisted games, you can still get physically ⬆️

@hamsterjoueur @theJUJUTAKU Etonnant, car les version Allemande, Espagnol ou Italienne existe bien avec le titre traduit. Donc pas de version FRA, seulement EUY (le nouveau FAH :D)

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

I felt again in the « let’s add this quick feature, and incidentally refactor the whole stuff, and redesign it, because I have a better idea. » #BuildInPublic

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

LLMs are like a colleague with an inflated ego. You ask him a question about code because you have a doubt and want an opinion before making a change, and he, well, he's coding.

Je n'ai pas.le souvenir d'avoir lu un article aussi alarmiste sur l'ia dans le NYT.
'Je me prépare à survivre', a avoué Sam Altman d'OpenAI en 2016. "J'ai des fusils, de l'iodure de potassium doré, des antibiotiques, des batteries, de l'eau, des masques à gaz de l'armée israélienne et une grande parcelle de terre à Big Sur où je peux aller en avion".
Devrions nous faire confiance a quelqu'un qui tient ce discours et explique dans le même temps que l'IA va résoudre les plus grands problèmes de l'humanité ?
Le NYT l'observe : c'est "une vision d'une prise de contrôle quasi-totale de la vie économique, sociale et cognitive du pays par des outils conçus par seulement cinq entreprises, dirigées par cinq personnes en particulier, dont plusieurs sont largement décrites comme des sociopathes. La liste est si courte que vous connaissez peut-être la plupart d'entre eux par leur prénom : Sam, Dario, Elon et Mark. (Demis Hassabis, qui dirige DeepMind de Google, est peut-être moins célèbre.)".
Dean Ball, un ancien gourou conseiller de trump sur l'IA, désormais repenti observe que 'cette cuve acide géante' qui va dissoudre les institutions médiatrices que la plupart des Américains considèrent comme les fondations d'une "société". "Ce ne sera pas A.I. orchestrée par le gouvernement", prédit Ball. "Ce sera l'A.I. en tant que gouvernement".
Nous devrions nous réveiller, ce pays devrait de réveiller, l'Europe doit se réveiller, si elle en est encore capable. Sortir d'un mythe de marchés ouverts et d'un multilatéralisme apaisé. Et surtout avoir QUELQUE CHOSE A DIRE face a ce qui se structure de plus en plus comme une techno-dictature.
Et cela d'autant plus que opportunités de construire un projet politique pertinent tenant en compte l'incidence de l'IA ne manquent pas : open-source, transition énergétique, adaptation climatique, transition climatique, viellissement des populations, enjeux de Santé mentale, la technologie comme une force géopolitique, les systèmes d'armes ...

Moving the Wishlist out of the paywall, brings some important changes. Now the paywall is presented on save, instead of when trying to add a game, so I also needed to show how many free games where still available. #BuildInPublic

[Basile Cornet @StrAbZ]

Since when does the Intents and Entities appears correctly in the iOS Simulator without having the kill Shortcuts, or reinstall the app. This is so much better. #BuildInPublic
