Funny enough, I worked mainly as a designer 20+ years. A lot of shared problems for truck drivers are present in the designers profession. No proper education, not adequate payment ("Dime a dozen" as someone stated here on HN), no

I'd argue that we are in times when "trust" must be a result of open code access. If in the past the GNU philosophy sounded somewhat extreme, today is the only real valuable option from a consumer perspective. This are our in

Apple lost me as a customer completely with CSAM this year. But I am thankful because I dramatically reduced my smartphone usage to incidental and mandatory use-cases. For me this is a strictly personal stance. People will continue to fall

It is not only relevant for Google. Apple is exactly IBM from the past + some design and marketing sprinkled over.

Some analogy popped in my mind. Imagine you have a sports car with beautiful design and powerful engine. You love it, but you want the new model, because you hope that you can cover the corners of the track with more speed and control. The

Nice. Ports are back. Very nice. Prices are up. Not nice. The deal breaker is the notch. Sorry Apple I am a designer. I cannot watch this 24/7. Even if the top bar is black the notch will be visible enough to distract my visual line. T
