On My Mind
iPadOS 14 first impressions on iPad Pro (120Hz): Choppy animations still prevalent throughout OS, awkward widget editing UX, incongruent element padding throughout OS, corner radius differences between apps / folders & dock, same visual glitches as recent OSes. D+ / C- territory.
my wife said if i loved star wars so much why didnt i marry it and im all like what makes you think i didnt try
I miss the software QC.
Justin Seeley @justinseeley
I miss it... terribly. Every cycle, I grow more and more dejected (remembering joy the new product announcements would often bring). It's *barely* a shadow of its former self at this point IMHO.

I don’t have the time, interest, nor inclination to document clearly-visible (and consistently-discovered) inconsistencies throughout Apple’s software experiences. Not my job. Here’s *one* example. They don’t even CARE to use the same glyph for hiding the keyboard. Sloppy.

This is the correct take. The emperor has no clothes.
Alexandre Motais de Narbonne @justBfree
The laurels have been well rested upon and adequately crushed. Still, many of those flat laurels have been sold, so... who cares about software experience / quality, anymore. Right?
David Barnard @drbarnard
90Hz coming? I'm seriously considering getting the Oculus Quest 2 - but only to play the Star Wars games, of course.
On My Radar
Holy sh*t.
Mike Pence’s lead staffer @OliviaTroye comes out for Biden and says she was shocked by the WH’s COVID response.
She remembers Trump saying: “Maybe #COVID19 is a good thing. I don’t have to shake hands with these disgusting people (his voters)”
Joe Rogan lies to his millions of listeners that left-wing activists are starting forest fires in Oregon. This dangerous claim has been completely debunked.
