I’m still on the fence with Substack. It is free to start. I don’t know if I’ll be duplicating efforts that I already put in WordPress, Micro.blog and Medium. Writers discovery is limited if I understand it well. This is a web-only publishing experience. #blogging #writing

Here is a side-effect of using @HEY. I no longer use (or rarely use) Apple’s Mail. When an email provider forwards an email to HEY, it is not marked as read (a few offers this option which help keep unread count lower).

Forgot to put the evidence for my previous post. Here it is.

The Siri App suggestions widget in iPadOS 14 beta 6 is not very intelligent. On the following screenshot, suggested apps can be found on the Dock. No added value here, redundant. Filling feedback report now. 👨🏻💻 #ipados14beta6

I wish we could see more collaborative work among bloggers, just like in the podcasts sphere. Why is it not common or is it? #blogging #blogger #bloggerlife #writing #collaboration

BREAKING: Adobe Lightroom CC 5.4 Users - Data Loss
Major issue affecting Adobe Lightroom CC users at version 5.4: the cloud-based photo procesing software. Users affected by the bug lost portion or all their photo library (I’m not one of those, thanks god!). According to an Adobe statement: We know that some customers have photos and presets that are not recoverable. We sincerely apologize to any customers who have been affected by this issue.
Ouch. In other words: Adobe says: fuck you. That’s the price of cloud-based storage services (on top of the monthly payment). No service is immute to this. We should be pressuring companies like Adobe, Apple, etc. to stop this non-sense. https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/20/adobe-lightroom-ios-update-photos-deleted

The lack of a per-picture sync status in iOS 14 is baffling. #ios14 #apple

I decided to turn that off under iPadOS 14. It’s the consequence of not having the full widgets experience like on the iPhone.

Here is an app idea: how about an app allowing bloggers to easily create « link posts » which would allow for easy insertion of links and text quotes and the blogger’s own comments. I would pay for that one. I’m currently using Linky but it is very limited (single quote).

If you are not on iOS 14 beta 4, hold off and wait for Beta 5. I do experience the same issues exposed in this Twitter thread. Very buggy release. It reminds me of iOS 13 betas. #ios14beta4 #apple

On Apple's latest iMac update
Great reviews on the latest iMac update. As a serious amateur photographer, the thing that stands out to me is the new nano glass option. At 500$ it is not cheap but reviewers are liking it a lot. Could this option eventually come to the iPad Pro? Or the iPhone? I would pay a premium for this on the iPad Pro.
Now, why the 21.5” iMac has not been updated is a mystery to me. I currently own a max-out 2017 21.5” iMac. The size of this machine is better for me, but I would prefer a 24”. Could this mean the lower size iMac will be the first desktop to receive the Apple Silicon treatment as well a the long overdue redesign? I think so.

How Long Apple can stand like this?
On Apple’s stance on its App Store policies.
Developers are complaining. The tech press is complaining. Governments are complaining. Now Microsoft is complaining. And Facebook too.
Google? Are users complaining? I don’t see that. Does it make a big difference for Apple?

On iOS 14 Design Considerations
Dear iOS developers: be careful when considering widget design and content. Space on my iPhone screen is more constrained than ever with iOS 14. Here is a bad example: showing the three most recent tweets from my twitter timeline is useless as I’m following many hundreds persons. Be more creative than this.

Apple is really not done with Intel in the Mac. It is clear to me that Apple Silicon will find its way in lower end machines first, certainly portable ones with today’s announcements.

On Phil Schiller (departure) of Apple
Aside from the iMac updates coming out of Apple today, here is another (more important) news: Phil Schiller is now an Apple Fellow. That was not expected. People come and go. Mr. Schiller as done a lot for Apple. Time to (slowly) move on.
I don’t like Greg “Joz” Jozwiak.

When I wanted to work for Apple...
Here is a short story. In 1985, I was working for an authorized Apple dealer in my home town. I was an Apple zealot (surprise?) and I wanted to work for them. So, I created my (short) resume and sent it (by mail) to Apple’s headquarters. A few months later, I got a polite response: Thanks, but no thanks. I was eighteen.
