   Seriously its time for a new OS. I mean a non-google, non-apple, non-linux, non-microsoft one.

   I find this discussion interesting. I have been thinking about the declining appeal of a device that does everything, but on which you can only really do one thing at a time well. Ie, you put the iPhone in a cage and add a tripod and you co

   Impressive work. How do you manage promotion? I have a moderate amount of success with Reddit Posts, there is always a spike in downloads. But, going for a specific niche (a scrollable feed notes app) https://apps.apple.com/

   Ignoring the aesthetic, it does what it needs to do. It is an internet layer designed to formalise professional profiles for those who need one. And actually, even Instagram could be seen as a contender to it. YT, hackernews profiles, Twitt

   If local backups were not so hard... It is sometimes impossible to back up an iPhone to a computer; yet seamless to backup to iCloud... Infer what you will. I am skeptical of over reliance and dependance on Apple more than ever. Unfortunate

   It is only fitting that Meta Glass becomes as opaque as iOS 26.

    Medium, Substack, Reddit and even X, are all evolutions of personal blogging. How do we over come the issue of promotion of independent blog pages?

    Apple has already cross a red line, it stepped over to one that has little interest in user experience. Recent releases of MacOS and iOS and iPadOS have given rise to Windowsesque complexity and ugliness. I have used Macs since the Classic,

    Ok, this is a great idea for an App. Thank you. Amazing!!! Well done for solving this problem! And to preempt any sceptics.. doing the cleaning whilst the mac if off is futile. The Mac will restart/power on.

    Let's be clear. It is not the actual smartphones that do this; machines are designed and programmed by humans. Companies can choose to use technology to manipulate our emotions and trigger our reflexes, and many do choose just that, of

    The Hunger Games, The Handmaid's Tale, and Squid Games were just desensitisation PsyOps. Who could have imagined that the dystopian future was now?

    I believe that the more populist layer of the www became social media apps. Hosted LLMs (claude, chatGPT etc) are going to become the popular source of information and therefore narrative. What we must remember is that we should retain cont

    Depends if you use xcode or not...I still have my macbook 12inch, for work use, it is amazing, but I can't run the latest xcode, making it defunct for some of my uses. It would be fine running xcode weak as it is; i am sure. Liquid gla

    I really like the blue colour. What is not great... It defaulted to google search, so I can't agree that it is very private.
