You know, I could write a whole blog post about this—and I might—but I think we need to start addressing the very likely possibility that the *entire thesis* that “UI should get out of the way” and “apps should focus on content” is wrong.

Apps aren’t just for looking at photos or videos. They’re for navigating through these things, organizing them, editing them. The tools to do those things should not get out of the way. They should be clearly defined and separate from the content.

Dieser kleine UI-Bug macht es noch witziger xD
Someone who works on YouTube needs to realize that bilingual people exist. For a while now the app insists in translating video titles from Portuguese to English (I use my devices in English). If I change the language to Portuguese, it then translates video titles from English to Portuguese. I just want to see the original content as it was posted by the creator. And now it's even auto-enabling AI dubbing 🤦🏻‍♂️ Give me a checkbox to turn this off, please!

In case you missed it, Android apps including Facebook, Instagram, and several Yandex apps including Maps and Browser have been silently listen on fixed local ports for tracking purposes

I've been mulling over the Apple injunction today. I increasingly think that the root of the problem here is that Apple doesn't view developers as its customers. Over the last 17 years I've paid Apple an eye-wateringly large sum of money for the services they provide me, and I don't begrudge them that at all. We are likely the highest revenue per customers group, but reading this it is clear that at the highest levels we are viewed as a resource to be extracted from not a customer to be served.

On the example of Lesotho, why those "reciprocal" tariffs nonsense:
