[↑] "Steam Family" will be fully replacing "Library Sharing", so you can't even just keep the old behaviour.

I really hope someone at Valve reconsiders the decision to region-lock the "Steam Family" feature, or at least allow legacy "Library Sharing".

[↑] this also fails to take into account the fact that this significantly breaks the experience even within the context of "family", as many people may have people considered family that reside in different countries :/

It's just disappointing to see. And it seems like [↓]

Steam "Library Sharing" explicitly defined "friends" as a valid class of people you could share your library with: waa.ai/cxtg

However, "Steam Family" does not: waa.ai/cxth

I guess they might justify the removal of cross-region sharing that way, but [↓]

Really disappointed to see that "Steam Family" is a severe downgrade compared to the feature previously known as "Library Sharing" :/

Specifically, the fact that once this feature goes live, you can no longer share your Steam library with anyone residing in a different country.

【AppSync Unified】 An update will be coming soon for iOS versions up to 17.4.

※ If you are using ElleKit as your code injection platform, AppSync Unified will require ElleKit 1.1 or newer. That being said, there really isn't any reason to use an old ElleKit version, anyway.

【TotalFinder】 Development of the macOS 14 Sonoma compatible version of TotalFinder is making progress.

There's still much to do however, including tracking down all the weird edge cases that can cause random Finder crashes in more recent versions of macOS :/

In the image, one of the protagonists, Marina (who has long pink-orange-blonde hair tied in a sidetail) is hugging the other protagonist, Amber (who has shoulder-length brown hair) in front of some desert rocks at sunset. Amber has a surprised face, and is red with embarassment. Marina is wearing a green and white dress, while Amber is wearing a red T-shirt with beige long pants/trousers. The game's logo is placed to the left of them, with the macOS application icon below it along with a shortcut to the Applications folder next to the icon, with a chevron in between. The version text ("version 1.2.3") is written at the top left corner.

In the image, both of the protagonists, Marina (who has long pink-orange-blonde hair tied in a sidetail) and Amber (who has shoulder-length brown hair) are embracing each other in front of a sunset sky.

wow what a coinkidink me too

TotalFinder will support macOS 14 Sonoma.

… However, it does not currently (※ as of 1.15.1) fully do so yet. A number of things are slightly broken if you try to use TF 1.15.1 with macOS 14.

Just wanted to skeet(…?) this so that everyone knows that TF development is still alive.

An bug in the ElleKit code injection framework causes AppSync Unified to not work correctly on some ... Multiple people over in the Reddit post announcing version 112 reported this issue, so I am formally filing a bug since it seems none of them did. We are getting a "Couldn't communicate with a help...

Very good news for those trying to use AppSync Unified (and possibly other tweaks…?) on rootless-mode jailbreaks using ElleKit!

Please don't feel obligated to contribute, but if you do, thank you!

It's currently kinda… empty and barren, as I still need to think of more things to put on there (I am very bad at this), but I figured I might as well post about this on SNS now.

Looking into the AppSync Unified issue reminded me that I should probably try and crowdfund an [↓]
