iOS Developer at Techniker Krankenkasse in Hamburg, Germany by day, #iOS and #Android developer by night. Recently started to use #Linux on the desktop, too. I enjoy all things digital, but I also dabble in #Photography, #3DPrinting and #Woodworking. I’m one Podcast short of being a stereotypical nerd.

Proud #Antifascist. Fuck Nazis.

I usually write in English, but may occasionally write in German if the post is only relevant to German-speaking audiences.

@schwa I have the feeling that went out the window when they threw away their sense of decency.
@schwa Are they still pretending to care?
@schwa I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of furries suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
@schwa You want to block 50% of Mastodon?
@mrudokas @marioguzman If this were about a person, I'd totally agree with you. But we're talking about one of the largest and wealthiest corporations of the world. We should hold them to the highest standard possible, because this is what they're projecting themselves. Besides, it's not like Alan Dye was the only one responsible for the Liquid Glass fiasco, the whole management was on board and they *liked* it. A few minor refinements here or there of that concept just doesn't cut it for me.
@marioguzman Fair. I agree it's a step in the right direction, but their self-serving narrative is making my skin crawl. I don't think they deserve the praise just yet.
Last year Apple trashed its UI & UX legacy in a single stroke, destroying decades of goodwill in the developer community along with it. This year they did a few minor refinements, celebrates itself, and the apologists are like "look, Apple is *listening*". What the hell, people.
If the choice is between believing a greedy American corporation or the EU government, go with the EU government.
@periodic Sounds tempting, but I suppose I will get it at some point. I'm afraid adding too much automation around this will keep me from that 🙈
The biggest issue with writing #Swift during the day and #Rust in the evening is the damn semicolons. I keep forgetting them in the evening and start adding them during the day.
