@atpfm Day one listener and experienced developer here. I have an itch for a Mac app but zero experience in Apple’s development ecosystem. The web and youtube are flooded with tutorials and resources, but it’s hard to tell which one are worth my time. Do you have any recommendations for starters? What are the knowledge bases that you use on a daily basis during development (e.g. documentation on the framework, swift and swiftui, etc.)?

Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children.

@streetartutopia Unless there's a fixed webcam that's miraculously stayed in place there despite every building around it being leveled then this is AI generated. Both images have pixel-perfect identical framing, which is impossible to achieve years apart even in perfect conditions. Given the abundance of genuine photographic evidence of the destruction of Gaza it seems unhelpful to spread AI-generated approximations that risk feeding zionist narratives about fabricated evidence.

One of the coolest things about honey is its theoretically infinite shelf-life. 3000-year-old jars of still-edible honey have been found in Egyptian tombs — they used it medicinally for all sorts of things. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-science-behind-honeys-eternal-shelf-life-1218690/

The Science Behind Honey’s Eternal Shelf Life

A slew of factors—its acidity, its lack of water and the presence of hydrogen peroxide—work in perfect harmony, allowing the sticky treat to last forever
