@marcoarment @siracusa I mourn with you. Let’s hope Apple returns to the high end this decade.

@david @ZS @siracusa it isn’t safari’s fault but it is the reality. Most developers don’t test their site across browsers and only use chrome. Many frameworks don’t work on safari or specifically use chrome proprietary features. 2 out of 3 bank websites I visit daily only work in chrome and proudly tell me safari is not supported. I run into this constantly. Government and public education software are the worst offenders in my experience.

@david @siracusa every single student and teacher who buys the MacBook Neo to use school software that is designed not to work in any browser except Chrome.

@siracusa yea but which one has enough ram to open chrome? Will Google Docs even run in 8Gb of ram?

@chockenberry Ring monetizing the mistake where everyone’s live cameras and recordings were in a public S3 bucket was not on my bingo card.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social I think it’s just because of where events can potentially show. Apple can choose to promote the event on the Today and Apps Tabs but of course that is human currated and limited real estate. Otherwise it’s only shown your product page and search. So at best there it might close the deal but it’s not bringing in new people really.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social in my experience they only help because it doubles your odds of Apple featuring you. If your event gets picked up and added to a list or something it helps. Otherwise it does almost nothing.

In App Store Connect you can find analytics for things like product page views and downloads from specific events.
