Are you tired of those meaningless update notes with app updates? I am. There are rules made by Apple prevent this. But, even Apple isn’t following their own shit. #iosdev #apple twitter.com/khaost/st…

Why the fuck opening an RSS feed link on iOS opens up Apple’s News, an app that is so dump that it cannot do anything with it anyways! Fix this Apple for god’s sake! 🤬 #apple #ios #rss

Apple should introduce another type of subscription: pay-per-use. Pricing would be based on the time spent on-screen, down to a second resolution. Pricing would be based on dime fractions, payable on demand, monthly or yearly. Exemple: five minutes of an app usage @ $ 0.00001 would cost 1.08 yearly. That is an extreme example for sure. But you get the idea, right? Don’t throw rocks at me if Apple ever see and then implement this! Continue reading →

My take? Everybody is playing hardball here. Ex-Apple chip exec claims Apple trying to ‘suffocate’ new tech after staff poaching - 9to5Mac

Here is something that I notice quite often while browsing the web: the lack of a publish date on articles, blog posts, etc. While living in the age of fast content consumption, where content relevance is depleting fast, it seems important, more than ever, to put a publishing date. I know we can sometimes infer the date from the URL but to me it isn’t the right way to do it. Continue reading →

I don’t know what it will take to get rid of Facebook… but regulation is not going to fix the problem. We need to fix ourselves. We Don’t Need Social Media - OneZero

When so many apps are available for a specific task, choosing one can be a nightmare. Recently, my focus was to select a new calendar app following the release of Fantastical update. I finally settled on the one that I use for a few years now: Calendar 5. The same is happening right now with RSS readers. But this time, I’’m switching from the excellent Reeder app to News Explorer. The latter is not perfect but from a functional point of view, it is an improvement. Continue reading →

You cannot have it all it seems in the RSS reader space. Reeder is a great design example but is lacking a few features. News Explorer has more features but is lacking some design nice touches. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yesterday I learned about the existence of a different RSS reader named “News Explorer”. As a long time user of Reeder, I wasn’t really interested in trying a different one. But, after playing with the trial version on macOS: I’m mostly converted. Stay tuned for more details. Continue reading →

I’m still amazed by the quality of the iPhone 11 Pro cameras. A concert hall is a great place to experience it! #shotoniphone #apple

I’m still not finished with Apple’s « For all mankind » TV series. I like it for an unexpected reason: having a peak at the way people were living before the personal computers, smartphones, the Internet. It seems like time was slower so people had time to think. Oh, and they had a private life. Continue reading →

Sometimes, just sometimes, I would like to go back in time, way before today. Just to see and feel what it was like before our numeric society. I know that I wouldn’t have to go very far in time but… just before any computers existed. This photo is from Havana, Cuba.

Is this Playground for Mac release another hint of an upcoming ARM-based Mac machine coming down the pipeline? My guess: yes. This is what Catalyst is all about. Apple launches Swift Playgrounds app for the Mac, built using Catalyst - 9to5Mac

This Lightroom CC update seems a bit uninteresting on the surface but I’ll give it a close look, we never know. You can see by these update notes what type of customers Adobe wants to please and attract. Stay tuned for more comments. #photographer #adobe #lightroom

This keyboard fiasco is here with us for many many years to come. Can you imagine how bad second hand MacBook price will be after Apple is done replacing them in their product line? They will go downhill for sure. 😱#apple #keyboardfiasco MacSparky

Another day, another 15cm of snow here downtown in Montreal, Canada. We have a very well known song here that says “My country is not a crounty, it is simply winter”. This is the kind of day. Photo processed with Apple’s Photos.app on iMac. #montreal #canada #winter #snow

I would live to be a fly at Apple headquarters this week. Very damaging to their image. Fully deserved btw. twitter.com/backlon/s…

Where are designers gone? #eero #ui #ux

Remember Flipboard? Who is using this app / service these days? Is it a ghost town?
