You can only create them via twitter.com - possibly the official app. You can add and remove users from 3PC like Tweetbot.

iirc I made a few lists with Tweetbot 4 the other day, trying to figure out what I want for the extra iPad space.

Sup Echofon buddy. I pretty much only use it because it syncs between mac and ios clients and...inertia. They had stopped developing the OS X version for a while but it's alive again for some reason so that's cool.

No, it's a thing you have to launch and press start every night. It does save your last entered time though so it's not a complete start from scratch.

If you want automatic scheduled alarms, use the stock Clock app. I mean I'm sure there's other alarm apps out there that allow ridiculous spergy schedules, but the default app works just fine.

You need to set it every night so it knows when you’re actively trying to fall asleep, and from there if estimates when you’re actually asleep from movement, tries to figure out what your REM cycle length is, then wake you up as close to both the end of a REM cycle and your indicated wake up time. I don’t know how well it actually works/if the science is sound since I’ve never stuck with it long enough but enough people anecdotally have reported positive results soooo

I've been using SleepCycle for three years and I'm convinced the "gentle wake" theory and s leep cycles is a complete load of crap.

However I love the poo poo out of SleepCycle's "tap to snooze" feature so I continue to use it.

I used SleepCycle for years, but the thing that actually made the largest impact on my quality of sleep was just forcing myself to go to bed early and wake up early enough to give me an hour+ to get ready instead of rushing through the motions.

Anybody used Been Choice? It's an adblocker that not only has a safari content blocker, but blocks ads from all applications by running everything through their VPN. Wondering what people's thoughts are on this.

I was really wondering how Google could make their already trash YouTube app any worse.

Maybe someone who is more versed in UI dev can correct me, but isn't it a general goal is to maintain the basic navigation of how each site is accessed in both mobile and desktop form? They couldn't be more divergent at this point. Maybe this is an alpha for a future redesign of the whole site, in which case Dailymotion might be getting a second life.

Don't see this app lasting long. Enjoy while you can? Even if it sticks for any measurable amount of time, either a bigger userbase will slow everything to a crawl, or devs will work around this by requiring apps to only operate once a signed token is received from a server after confirmation that the ad was played (many Android apps do this!).

I was surprised apple accepted this app in the first place. I guess if you get a slot, you can win rewards by not blocking Apps, but the whole thing makes me nervous just by having everything going through their network. It seems to work as advertised, but it does slow loading times down.

Been Choice is sketchy as gently caress. It has like surveys and poo poo doesn't it?

If you want a VPN that respects privacy, you can find a ton of paid options out there that make a business of selling you a service rather than selling you (or creating a botnet out of you a la Hola). I use TunnelBear when I go to one of the coffee shops downtown to work; they'll give you 500mb for free and you can Tweet for 1GB more -- and if you need more beyond that, you can buy it for pretty cheap.

There's a pretty radical difference between "you're paying for a conditional license, not perpetual yada-yada" and "if the publisher takes their ball and goes home you can go screw".

The only other example I can think of is when PT became undownloadable on PS4s even though you can usually download the stuff you bought at leisure even if the company behind it no longer exists (Irem.) and the circumstances surrounding that are weird as hell (also Konami went down the pachinko hole so it's not like a blacklisting would mean anything at this point). Also that was one app, not all of them.

I browse by subscriptions and that's now really lovely on the iPad because channels are just tiny circular logos instead of a vertical list with the channel name. It really sucks. The menu that displays the vertical list is also not very good because it's two clicks away and fills the screen.

Get off the boobtoob and onto twitter and vine man. Have you heard of Tweetbot?

Honestly though, all Google app interaction with iOS leaves a lot to be desired beyond Gmail/Inbox.

How would that be better? I just want to spend fifteen minutes watching some Vice news on Chromecast while I eat lunch. It sounds like via Twitter I'd have to open twitter, find Vice's feed, scroll through all the irrelevant stuff they post including articles, open a video in Safari to take me to the YouTube app, and stream the video to Chromecast. I'm already done my lunch!

I agree, that's what I was getting at by "App Store", rather than just the apple App Store.

It's the associated DRM locking and reliance on authentication servers that causes the problem - in a few years it will be impossible to play a bunch of classic iOS games.

I still have consoles from the 90s that work fine. Will an ios5 game still run in even 5 years?

I haven't played super mario bros in 20 years. I could play it because it's out there: I could hunt down hardware or even pirate it and run it in an emulator.

But I don't, because it's an old game and even though I loved it as a kid there's nothing to pull me back and there's lots of new stuff to play anyways.

I guess don't buy anything with DRM or updateable ever again, I guess?
