@benthompson

Both @benthompson and @benedictevans had good posts about App Stores.
Both argue that Apple should stay in control over what apps are allowed to install for Trust and Security reasons.

1. You can make the case that because more people use smartphones than PCs, more sensible information is stored on smartphones, and there are API's to access said information (like adressbook upload) more people got harmed than from the mac OS model (Store or Notarization).

2. The App Store model is basically benevolent dictatorship. From an ethical standpoint it's unsustainable. Nobody should have so much power.

See other places with the same issue, like FB. But at least Zuck tries to stay neutral and wasn't lying.

When the "unofficial Apple PR department" is more critical about Apple than you are

Yes, maybe files will be gone (like mainframes are gone) in 10 years (and it will be great!), but in the meantime there's a transition.

And like GUIs had CLIs as a backup, "Pro" tablets should be able to work with files (as a backup).

Don't despair, I think iOS 13 will fix this.

But this notion that files aren't important is ignorant of the last 20 years - even the non-experts grasp the concept and use USB flash drives every day.

Doing spec comparisons was never satisfying for smartphones.

(a) "value-for-money was always better on Android
(b) but that doesn't matter if the XP is still better on iOS (e.g. smooth scrolling)

That said, the value-for-money gap seems to be widening over the last few years.

As if Apple realised for themselves that they aren't here to transform all the peoples lives - just the ones that can afford it.
Otherwise they would offer a "medium-cost" iPhone as well, and not only cater the luxury niche (where margins are high).

It's not black or white.

Some people want the smaller, some want the larger size. Just as some people want 11' laptops, and some want 17'.
Remember, not only did Apple took away the SE size, they also made the smallest model slightly bigger (XS > 8).

Which is a shame, since the new screen-to-body ratio on a smaller body would be enough for a lot of folks.

Unfortunately, nobody can really tell what the real demand for what screen size is, because screen sizes were always coupled with other factors, such as different price or fewer features. And Apple or any Android manufacturer never tried to decouple it.

Still having a love-hate relationship with the "Retweet with comment" option here on Twitter:

❤ Best way to add a personal take (keeps the context AND is 100% seen by your followers

💔 Doesn't initiate conversations as well as replys, no obvious way to answer
💔 "invisible" for everybody that doesn't follow you. I can't even see if other people retweeted or retweeted with a comment. Why on earth should I want the user bio when I click on the Retweet count?

💔 Visual hierachy is flipped. First the comment, than the piece that is commented on. Imagine a blog where you first see the comments and then the post
💔 Orginal tweet is often truncated, with loss in formatting
💔 Original tweet can be missunderstood as link "card"

Housing should be the biggest opportunity that isn't disrupted yet. Both in terms of money/market size and culture/lifestyle.
An industry stuck in the 20st century. And not much hope on the horizon.
