Parler returns to the App Store

According to a letter Apple sent to Congress on Monday, the company’s App Store has approved Parler’s return citing improvements the social media company made to better detect and moderate content. The decision clears the way for Parler, an app popular with conservatives, to be downloaded once again on Apple iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch devices.

The letter — addressed to Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Ken Buck and obtained by CNN — explained that since the app was removed from Apple’s platform in January for violations of its policies, Parler “has proposed updates to its app and the app’s content moderation practices.”

On April 14, Apple’s app review team told Parler that its proposed changes were sufficient, the letter continued. Now, all Parler needs to do is to flip the switch.

“Apple anticipates that the updated Parler app will become available immediately upon Parler releasing it,” Apple’s letter said.

Ingenuity, NASA’s small helicopter, succeeds in its first flight to Mars

For the first time in history, a spacecraft designed by human beings flew to another planet: Ingenuity took off, climbed to a height of three meters, hovered about thirty seconds before landing.

Almost one hundred and eighteen years after the first modest flights (a few tens of meters) of a motorized vehicle - the plane of the Americans Orville and Wilbur Wright - NASA made history by succeeding in the same thing, but on Mars. On Monday, April 19, his small Ingenuity helicopter, deposited on the Red Planet by the Perseverance rover on which he was embarked, successfully completed his inaugural flight. Like that of the Wright brothers in December 1903, this first attempt was most modest: take-off, climb to a height of 3 meters, hovering of about thirty seconds, descent and landing.
