@sean@scoat.esEven as someone who has only ever used SwiftUI (not AppKit or UIKit) as my primary macOS/iOS dev toolkit, this article rings so true.
There's a whole bunch of stuff that #Apple could fix, pretty easily, and they just… haven’t. It's sad.
A big part of what keeps me on macOS is the platform itself—letting everything become mushy web-pages-pretending-to-be-apps makes it much easier to en…

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI'm really liking MacDown 3000 for editing and viewing Markdown files on macOS. Especially the ability to customize the style sheets.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsSo I'm reading the changelog for the Polish railways' Passenger's Portal app (i.e. checking what they broke), and it turns out that the developers discovered compression.
I mean, the app's been updating "dictionaries" practically every single day for years (surely available stations change frequently), and they weren't even compressed! What's next? Discovering Last-Modified and refetching only if something actually changes?!

@StephenRees@mas.toI am pleased to report that we discovered how to get the new version of the Knowledge App to work with Apple tv
I pulled the cable out of the box while it was still trying to download the app unsuccessfully. I waited a short while then plugged it back in and waited again until service was restored.
Bingo. The new app was downloaded in a few seconds and works perfectly
I should have tried that first!
@compfu@mograph.socialFor the past years the #Apple app store landing page has constantly been an ad for some mobile game about kings and clans that only existed to get people to pay for in-app purchases.
Now, whenever I open the app store on my phone it's always AI crap: "Learn with ChatGPT". "Do more with Gemini".

@luana@wetdry.worldAre there any smartwatches comparable to the Apple Watches out there (heart rate, physical exercise kilojoules counting, waterproof, cool watch faces, gay watchbands, plus maybe those heart illnesses detecting stuff, maybe blood oxygen and ecg too and maybe depth sensors for diving like the ultras if it’s not too much to ask) that either work independently from phones (no app needed) or at least work with an app that can be easily installed in any android device (more specifically that can work in an ungoogled Waydroid container on postmarketOS)?
I keep wondering what I’ll use instead of my Apple Watch if I move to a postmarketOS phone…

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caPlenty of bad and annoying things about Apple and iCloud in particular, but one good experience I've always had is if I buy something on the App Store or a subscription or anything through the Apple Store, and then ask for a refund within a few hours or days, they pretty much always refund it in full within 24 hours of the request.
It makes doing things like trying out a bit of software... realizing I don't like it or it doesn't do what I want... and ‘giving it back' much easier.
