Huge App Store news:
Apple is reducing commissions to 15% for developers who earned less than $1 million in a year.
This is called the App Store Small Business Program, and it starts January 1, 2021.
We have all the details here: macstories.net/news/apple-re…

Important iTunes notes:
1) The record labels struck the 30% deal with Apple, not musicians
2) Some prominent musicians (rights holders) held out of iTunes
3) Online music distribution was uncommon in 2003
4) But online software distribution was already common in 2003 and 2008!

The 16 inch MacBook Pro looks awesome. I think @JewelsBranch will finally be upgrading from her ancient 17” MacBook Pro. Maybe I should replace my 2017 model also just for the reliable keyboard with a real Esc key!

Is anyone else noticing that it is really unreliable swiping from left edge of the screen to navigate back in iOS 13? Usually I swipe and it pops back staying on the screen I'm on. I have to swipe really quick or deliberately go all the way to the very right edge to succeed.

This is in native Apple apps like News, Mail etc. so it's not some 3rd party problem. Seems like any app using the system provided ViewController navigation.

Brighten up or worsen my day with the 53rd most recent pic in your camera roll. (You can thank
@bobtiki
for that number.)
NO CHEATING (unless it’s a personal image). Don’t explain unless I ask you to, then repost this with the number I give you!

I finally got macOS Catalina and Xcode 11 betas installed. Getting Catalyst to build a complex iOS app for macOS was easier than I expected. At the same time it will still be a LOT of work to have a truly usable macOS app.

SwiftUI sure looks a lot like Flutter. Makes me kind of glad I’ve been doing Flutter at work since last fall.

There's a lot more to it than you probably think.

They link to some alternate dynamic desktops downloads from 24 Hour Wallpaper. They seem a little lower quality but it's nice to have more options. jetsoncreative.com/24hourwal…
