For instance an icon with a pointy stick over top of a horizontal rectangle with a gradient applied conveys a tool for doing document and page layout. Got it.

Man I fucking hate this trend in icon design where they've both become so insanely basic and also tried to be "consistent" with all the icons to the point of being useless. Google start…

I have no idea what app this is an icon for, but from the ones in the middle I have to assume it's Apple's version of Word? I'll agree that the inkwell one is dated and doesn't wor…

I think thats how everyone but Apple does it.

That ended abruptly, but yes I would tend to agree. I also think in a few short years we'll have mountains of code generated by people that don't understand the fact that code is a liability…

I'm pretty well convinced it was a goal too. If it wasn't then shame on them since it doesn't accomplish anything else well.

I wish they'd specify if the bootloader was unlock/relockable. Could have been cool to see GrapheneOS support.

Damn that's a nice looking watch! Really feels like they got to build what they wanted to 10 years ago but the tech wasn't there. Can't wait to build some sleek round watch faces once I…

It's so disappointing to be fed crumbs like this instead of seeing real consumer protection laws put in place. Let users install software on their computers outside of what the manufacturer permi…

The web browser is the singular hole in Apple's grip over the user's device. While there are definitely arguments that can be made about security, I think it's naive to think that Apple…

You would hope, but changing this font isn't about making anything better, it's that Calibre was apparently a DEI font and had to go. I can't imagine these people thinking highly of an …

And how would they participate in America's annual roman numeral challenge, The Super Bowl!

I like that the other reply here is the most Hacker News reply in the Most Hacker News thread.

The hell kind of library are you visiting?

I mean, they also didn't say "Sweeney wrote (using his Logitech keyboard) on X". The link is right there, I don't see why it matters.

I don't think using an engine that's equally controlled by a different big evil corporation is exactly an act of resistance. I don't disagree with their decision, but c'mon.

We thought the same thing, and they made pretty significant changes to it based on that pushback. Also the flat redesign didn't have basic problems like white text on an white background all whil…

This defense feels so ridiculous every time I hear it (and it's almost always about Apple). People trot it out about Airpods too. If Apple is too big to care about this product line, we should be…

I'd love to hear how

A revolutionary advancement in consumer rights. This technology was possible for years but Apple didn't want their users to escape their grip.

It does, and it works to windows machines too

Hopefully the speed of innovation will increase as Apple is forced to be less shitty of a platform owner.

So does Mac OS support Wifi Aware now? I didn't think so, which is confusing if Airdrop still works between iOS and Mac OS.

Well, one gatekeeper. Wifi direct/aware seems to work fine outside of iOS and Mac os.

That's what was confusing to me. It's one thing for Apple to add wifi aware by force, it would be another for them to completely reimplement Airdrop with it. I don't think they were req…

You can add it to the quick settings tiles in the notification shade, they show that exact flow in the blog post.

But this works with the existing airdrop client on the iOS side right? Did Apple change airdrop to use wifi aware, and now Google can build the airdrop protocol on Android?

At least on iOS, Apple controls the singular web browser implementation. If they wanted to, they definitely could do a thing about any site. The same arguments for policing their App Store would apply…

I think the point is that selling a medical device that also requires you to use that vendors mobile device or lose access to them is just a little scummy. My motivation to keep using an iPhone should…
