  • Apple has absolutely cornered the mobile market, so that’s probably why they don’t seem to be in any hurry to seriously support the PC gaming space.

    They tend to focus hard on niches they can overcome, and PC/console gaming is a little too established for them to stick their toes in. They tried with the Pippin and the pre-Halo era of gaming, but it didn’t work out for them.

    If the Apple headset takes off, they may start pushing harder for VR game support, but who knows?









  • It doesn’t work that way. If you open the Threads app, it’s not full of ghost profiles of your Instagram follows who were automatically migrated over without their knowledge.

    You still need to create a profile and verify your handle. You can see which of your friends are currently on the app… but you can also see who has not migrated over yet.

    So Threads has been regularly posting how many Threads profiles are being created — 1M, 10M, 50M, etc — more or less in real time. If you go on the app you can see the migration happening as more and more people (and brands 🙄) make the transition.

    I believe the numbers. If they were counting the migrated people as “users” then it would be much higher, and it wouldn’t be so low compared to total FB/Insta profiles.

    You’re right — PWAs can be feature rich and versatile. I’m glad they exist.

    However, as much as I like wefwef (especially coming from Apollo), I don’t like having the URL bar perpetually taking up real estate like it does on iOS. I’m also much less likely to trigger browser-specific functions if I’m using a dedicated app.

    Assuming the Lemmy platform remains open, I don’t have any issue supporting a developer for making a great app for it.

    The issue with Reddit is not that devs were making third-party apps for it… it’s with the people running the platform.
