Ha ha ha... Some weird person decided to call me poor (which is fair game), claiming that I'm making up my experiences of foldable phones, because I can't afford one.
Insta-blocked, don't need that kind of weird bullshit in my life my right now.
My Twitter, sorry X feed is basically non-stop people complaining about Apple's latest products. Which is weird, because 15 years ago, it was just one big fan boy party.
It's insane that Samsung is trending higher than Apple or the iPhone Duo. Don't get me wrong, I feel that Samsung has come a long way (I'll hold on passing long term reliability), and they deserve to be recognized for their accomplishments. But I thought Apple was unstoppable.
I wanna share my thoughts on what I've learned over the years, in regards to the touch screen MacBook.
#1 Direct touch UI and natural voice recognition are the easiest forms for allowing non technical people to utilize technology. Natural speech recognition has come a long way
is that the youth of today are growing up with Android and iOS. Both of which are touch first OSes.
While ignored in the Apple circles, Samsung's DeX is impressive, it is far from perfect, but it provides a desktop GUI environment with touch being the one of the primary interface
There are Lap Docks, that you can plug your Samsung phone into, giving you benefits of a laptop, while having all your content and apps still on your phone.
This to me, is where the next step is.

If you reached this far, what do you think?

The uncomfortable truth about electric cars…🚙

I'mma say what I'mma say, I expect some hate for it, but so be it. Apple revolutionised the touch screen smart phone market with the iPhone. Samsung blatantly copied them.
After 8 iterations of the Galaxy Fold, we see the iPhone Duo. But nothing strikes me as being revolutionary.

🚨 @Apple @AppStore @Google — how is this passing review?
“App For Google Authenticator” appears to use a rotated copy of Google Authenticator’s icon. The familiar colours, the recognisable shape, Google’s product name — but a different developer behind it. 🤦♂️
💸 The same $4.99/WEEK subscription option. That’s $259.48 over 52 weekly payments.
🌐 Another website on a free Blogspot subdomain. Its linked privacy policy repeatedly refers to “Flow Studio” and iOS, even though this listing is for a Mac authenticator. Why doesn’t the documentation clearly match the product - easy the scam robots from 30.3753° N latitude and 69.3451° E longitude does not give a sh....
Independent developers such as @2StableApps @c128128 deserve a fair marketplace for their own products. Why should they have to fight for visibility against apps borrowing Google’s identity?
🔐 This is an AUTHENTICATOR. Users are trusting it with the secrets that protect their accounts. Clear developer identity and accurate documentation should be basic requirements... Same no identity in EU ... most likely fake data when registering the developer account.
@Apple, please investigate the apparent impersonation, subscription presentation, and policy mismatch. @Google, please review this use of your Authenticator branding.
Original developers and users deserve better. 🛑

Its been a while since I've been here. I even deleted X at one point. Things have really changed for me over the last few years and I'm left rediscovering who I am and what I want to do with my life.

Super happy to announce Objo Studio, a cross-platform tool to build desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux. It uses an easy-to-use programming language suitable for newcomers and professionals alike. objo.dev
I never ever expected to have a conversation with a computer in regards to how it uses logic to simulate emotion and determine if a dog is beautiful or not.
