I like this post, and I would also like Apple as a company to do this things. But I also wonder if we should expect an entity of the capitalistic system to behave in such a way. Companies are not humans and they don’t behave like this they only need to fulfil the needs of their investors. Which usually is to increase the value of the company. I’m conflicted about this but it does not feel right to expect a company to behave like an activist, with a moral standing.

Watching the iPhone event from yesterday and am just at the life translation demo: Do we now have a real live babel fish?

I liked this episode and I need to also spend some time thinking about this.

Why is it so hard to get the UUID of a iPad (or iPhone) under Windows? Wasted so much time with this yesterday.

Wow, sub 12 hours turnaround on an AppStore review. I can’t remember having such a fast submission ever.

I’m not the only person with this issue. But unfortunately no solution :-( Safari Autofill keeps removing the "+N", +NN" or "+NNN" (an international country phone number codes) filling in the phone number forms on the websites. ⤑ Safari Autofill misses country code - Apple Community.

Why can’t view resizing not just work? I hate Interface Builder!

The Macintosh turned 40 the day before yesterday And there are a lot of posts about your first Mac. The first Mac I ever used was my brother’s Macintosh; I’m unsure if it was the 128 or the later 512KB version. I think my personal first Mac was either an Macintosh II or an Macintosh IIci. Both were handle-me-downs, which I got for free. The first one I paid my own money for was an iMac (Strawberry), which I also got secondhand for 500 CHF from a neighbor.

My new computer, I finally found a good deal on the auction platform. It replaces an iMac (first gen retina Intel), so this M1 Max studio will be a huge speed improvement. And I can finally install the current software again.

Since when does the Photos app on the iPhone detect plants in images? Noticed it when looking at my photos – the “I” button in the tab bar changes to a leave and then this info is there in the details. It is cool but does not work always - had quite some which just said “Plant”.

I just tried my first workout on Fittness+, wow that is amazing. I’m on a free trial right now and would never have thought that I would pay for it. But right now it looks totally different.

I just used my Apple Watch to make a call. We sure are living in the future or in an alternate Nightrider universe :-D

My Apple Logo pendant. Long ago, I used to wear that. These days are long gone.

I fixed dependency hell by removing all my external dependencies. it was possible because I only had two of them and it is a hobby project. Anyway, I still lost two days I could have used for features.
