Apple announced changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store impacting developers’ apps in the EU to comply with the DMA.

@sjvn : In 1984, a $2.5k computer - with a 9-inch black-and-white display, 128KB RAM, 400 KB floppy drive, and built-in networking - changed everything. Until it didn't. Then these two things saved the Mac.

Apple released the latest iOS update to the general public on Monday.

Justice Department officials are in the late stages of investigating the iPhone maker, focusing on how Apple has used its other products and services to defend against threats to its core business.

Knowing a little about sparse and clone files in APFS is dangerous, as it can lead you to draw the wrong conclusions.

I used to be able to always tap in the black areas of a text box to make the cursor jump to the end and tap between words to make the cursor jump there. Now, often when I do that, OS17 selects the entire word and shows me suggestions for replacements of the closest word to where the cursor would jump instead. How do I disable that?

Why has this been so difficult for Apple to accomplish?

I've just been giving it the old college try to see if I can get a proper workflow going with it.

I teach, so I often have a lot of apps open for research/reference, lesson planning/preparation, as well as messaging services and other various apps.

I keep Apple Numbers full-screened in a space to the left, where I maintain a Grade/Schedule/Planner "book". I have Affinity Publisher 2 full-screened to the right, where I make prints/handouts for my classes.

On my desktop in the center, the stages (app sets) I keep are dedicated to...

• a single instance of Safari for lesson research (and procrastinating on Kbin)
• all my chat applications (iMessage, WhatsApp, etc)
• multiple finder windows to find, manage, and organize materials and resources I require to prepare new lessons every week.
• both my email client (spark) and calendar (FirstSeed).
• occasionally Spotify, if I need some music to help me focus.

If I didn't have stage manager, I would have been using a similar setup across around 2-3 desktop spaces and some full-screened apps. My "home" desktop in the middle, with reference-based stretching apps leftward, production-based apps stretching rightward, and my entertainment-based apps out on the fringes. This worked really well for me in the past, but stage manager has actually made things smoother for me, since I'm doing a lot less swiping around. (Yes, Mission Control was ideal for reaching more fringier desktop spaces, but when you're in the habit of just quickly swiping between 1-3 key desktops, it gets easy to forget how "far away" some of the other desktops are.)

Currently, my two biggest wishes for Stage Manager are...

1. that we could save stage presets so I could launch mine quickly with a Siri shortcut, and save a LOT of organization time after a restart.
2. that there were more comprehensive keyboard shortcuts specifically for navigating stages rather than individual apps. (There might be, but I haven't found a clear guide anywhere since most publications are more interested in the fact that Stage Manager exists than how to make it useful.)
3. a greater number of stages, with the ability to scroll through them and pin favorites to the top.

(I'm still on Ventura, so if these features were added in the betas, I wouldn't know.)

Question:
Has anyone else been discovering ways in which Stage Manager on Mac as worked out for them?
