Posted a long rant about #Apple and how they lost me after being a user for 26 years:
@Kyebr that’s fair - I guess I’m the type of user who doesn’t want to spend hours on customising stuff, especially on mobile OSes, so I don’t find much of a difference between iOS and Android, both of which I use quite frequently.
It’s quite nice though that I feel like they’ve grown more similar over the years, with iOS becoming a bit more configurable, and Android now having more beautiful and sane defaults.
@thomas It’s also not about customisation. For example; I maintain a journal in obsidian that is sync to all of my devices through Syncthing. It doesn’t work that way on iOS. As it doesn’t allow background process and Syncthing maintainers don’t want to deal with it. (Understandable)
The only real way to synchronise anything is using iCloud which doesn’t work on Linux (afaik) so you would be shut out of luck. Thankfully, somebody made SyncTrain which gives me 65% there with only drawback that I have to open the app from time to time so it can ask ios for background task.
Alternatively, I could cave and buy a Mac just for the iCloud synchronization (and the inevitable subscription fees once I exceed the free tier).
Ps. Sorry for the rant! It’s been a frustrating day. I hope your day is blissfully free of computer trouble.
