The thing is, they want everything liberals make (good art, good music, good food and drink) but want the artists to serve them, not be equals.

Are any of the junior iOS developers here at WWDC? Iโ€™d love to meet you and chat about your journey.

I donโ€™t normally upvote generate artwork, but the Please Donโ€™t Rain reference forced my hand.

It will be interesting to see if it stabilizes. It may be I need to reduce the update frequency, and accuracy, even more.

Yes, I have to be very careful about how many times I update the time. That said itโ€™s only happened to me a few times in six months.

If youโ€™re experiencing this issue, would you share the watch model, OS version, etc?

Sorry ๐Ÿ˜ข. Now I know what my next WWDC sprint task should be, fixing my EU Trader status. ๐Ÿ˜€

Just a paperwork issue, I hope to get it sorted out relatively soon.

Not yet, but once some paperwork clears I will release it in the EU stores.

That reminds me of this Futurama line:

Tesla Takedown | Take action at Tesla showrooms everywhere. The stakes couldnโ€™t be higher. No one is coming to save usโ€”not politicians, not the media.

Today is the global day or protest.

Hmm, anytime I open the or leave an app my camera indicator light comes on. At first I thought it was a bug, but now I'm wondering if I need to wipe the device.

Thank you for boosting this!

Be sure to attend one of these protests if you havenโ€™t already. Itโ€™s an easy way to do something about all this IRL. You will come away feeling empowered to change things for the better.

Right, Iโ€™ll definitely be adding SwiftLint, but Iโ€™m thinking Iโ€™ll have swift format do a pass prior to.

I want my Xcode project to automatically reflow and reformat Swift code every time it builds.What are teams using for this?

It looks like my best options are swift-format or SwiftFormat.
