The metro UI was a forced major interface change that was terrible experience on Windows (8). It was put in place to bootstrap a mobile app ecosystem for Windows Phone at the expense of Widows (desktop) users.

What #Apple is doing is more benign, mostly altering the appearance in a fairly minor way (afaik). However, they are doing it so that apps designed for #iOS and #macOS default to being compatible with #visionOS with little to no extra effort by app developers. That is, bootstrapping the ecosystem on that platform. That’s the similarity to Metro.

The question is how much of a setback in usability and appearance will this be for iOS and macOS users for the benefit of this goal. We’ve already seen a big regression in Mac apps for iOS convergence. And what happens if #VisionPro continues to flop and we all forget about it, but we’re stuck with its design language?

📱📲 3.5 Years Using GrapheneOS

„I switched from Apple iPhone to GrapheneOS in December 2021 and haven't looked back...still! In this video, I share all of the apps I use in my main profile and also show the apps in my other two secondary profiles.”

Apple a accepté les versions iOS et macOS. Un seul lien pour les deux : apps.apple.com/app/bidioo/id67

La version la plus agréable à utiliser pour jouer est clairement sur l'iPad. bien plus réactif que sur Android (il faudra que je trouve pourquoi).

L'application est aussi sur le magasin pour les lunettes de réalité virtuelles Apple VisionPro. Me demande ce que ça donne en usage réel, faudra que je demande un test en boutique un jour.

Some 5 years ago, I decided to finally #degoogle, #demeta and #demicrosoft my life.

As I'm a longstanding believer in #foss, I then went a step further and replaced as many proprietary apps and services as possible with #opensource and #libre equivalents.

Even though #Mozilla owned #Pocket already by then, the fact that it wasn't (fully) open source meant it had to go too. Some research led me to @wallabag, and I've not looked back since.

Sadly, the various articles recommending alternatives to Pocket that have popped up since its demise, make little to no mention of #Wallabag.

It's the *perfect* replacement: it's open source, you can #selfhost, it offers both #Android and #iOS apps, as well as a web client, and for those looking for a hosted service it's *by far* the cheapest option out there at just €11 a year.

For those #selfhosting, please consider supporting this great project by donating at least €11 a year, the cost of an annual hosted subscription.
