@gla I don't think so to be honest! Although I'd say that's more down to the apps I use, than the state of Android. I'd say the majority of the apps I use on my iPhone are either stock apps, or apps that are universal, like YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.
One thing I've never managed to use properly on the iPhone is Face ID. It's always been good at recognising my face and then unlocking the device. Although it's never been as fast as what I've seen others experience.
But I swear I'm always needing to enter my passcode. I get the “you need to use your passcode to unlock Face ID" message multiple times throughout most days. And I'm starting to think that I'm doing something wrong?
@matt I just think, am I doing something by accident like tapping the screen when it's not facing me, or accidentally holding down buttons that then somehow reset the state and requiring a passcode.
If I ever switch away from using an iPhone, it would cause a massive cascading
effect on nearly every part of my digital (and some physical) life.
Simply because, if I could ever bring myself to break out of Apple's walled
garden, I would want to steer clear of anything similar. I wouldn't want to just
replace everything Apple with everything Google, for example.
@vincentritter Oh yeah that gets me as well. Also from a developer perspective, imagine working on an app/feature and then having to wait until the next yearly release.
Is it just me that feels a bit bitter when Apple releases (or is about to release) new iPad hardware?
I used to get excited for new iPads. But then I remember iPadOS and go back to my Mac.
@cliophate I've had similar experiences as well recently. It seems if you want to be excited about technology, then Apple isn't the best place for that at the moment.
Starting to really like the feel of my Mac. Latest addition was SketchyBar (https://felixkratz.github.io/SketchyBar/) which I'm sure I'll start to customise, but the fact it shows me my current workspace number is already super useful for me.
Another great tool is skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd), which is a hotkey daemon for Mac. It's especially great for controlling things like yabai. Here's my keybinds for moving focus to different spaces, and also moving applications between spaces.
I’ve been playing around with bash scripts today. Most recent is one that uses fzf to list alacritty themes, and then lets me change it without editing the config file manually.
