The arrogance and ignorance with which Apple acts here is frustrating and really sad, since it shows they don't seem to care at all about the user expirience on their operating system. That is just a wild approach to handle development of their own software.

@ernie #Breaches happen all the time and to be honest using #Beeper to access #Apple services is simply doubling your attack surface. It also goes without saying that I would rather trust Apple’s security practices over Beeper’s - they simply have more to lose (and many more resources to throw at securing their services and users).
The moment I discovered this I stopped using it for -#iMessage - it’s a useful service for the rest of the #platforms it supports that said.

I've had a few interesting workdays recently that I thought would be worth sharing in terms of highlighting what's possible with an iPad. Before I dig in, I'll mention that I use the 12.9" M1 iPad Pro with 8GB of memory. For me the largest screen is absolutely necessary for more complicated tasks. Even the 13" (I'm just going to refer to it as 13") sometimes feels too small at which point I now have the option of connecting to an additional screen...

Reviews like this one of the #Backbone are problematic: https://9to5toys.com/2023/12/08/backbone-usb-c-iphone-15-gamepad-review/ - it barely touches on the app. It doesn't mention that there is a subscription that will cost you a much as the device itself over two years. And they hide core functionality behind it (using Backbone with an iPad). If I had only read that review, I would think it sounded great. In reality most should go with a Gamesir G8 with better ergonomics and no subscription. Don't trust 9to5, I guess? #Apple #iPhone #gaming

#Apple blocking #Beeper Mini was entirely predictable and clearly highlights the obvious: cares more about product lock-in and creating a two-tiered messaging system that makes people feel bad for being a green bubble than they do creating a platform that is truly E2E encrypted by default regardless of protocol.
"Privacy is a human right" means nothing if they don't actually do anything to make it happen.
#BeeperMini users reported problems sending and receiving blue bubbles on Friday. Maybe it wasn’t so hard for Apple to block the app after all.

It's a bummer, if true. I think the privacy and security story here cuts both ways.
However, from iMessage and Apple's perspective this is essentially a security vector. Imagine being able to sim jack someone, then use this to get access to their iMessage stream, even if logically this isn't the biggest deal for most users. So, yes - this is a bummer but also shouldn't be unexpected.
I've long believed that all apps (at least on Android) should start supporting UnifiedPush[1]. Tools like ntfy could serve as a central hub for notification distribution, allowing anyone to have their own notification server to connect apps and mobile devices. This would ensure greater privacy.
This is also why I developed NotiMail: we shouldn't have to rely on the 'big players' for our notifications and data.

You can find the session at https://youtu.be/D9-4miD-3pM?si=AU_pCsR-jwaQ8OZr. If you haven't paid attention to this space you really should be. Either your #macOS user experience is probably pretty poor or you have security gaps because you've been excluding them from your policies. It doesn't have to be that way. We'll cover how you can make sure you are following best practices from a security and an end user experience. #Infosec

If you had to trust 1 company with all your personal, every day information. Who would you trust?
Today I discovered that if:
1. A visible element has aria-hidden="true" and
2. I'm browsing with an iPad
3. using an external keyboard, not VoiceOver,
then the element does not receive keyboard focus. It's as if iOS considers the keyboard as assistive technology.
Can anyone confirm if this is generally true, or if it's just my iPad? I can't seem to find any docs about this.

Comcom saved tech giants like #Apple. #Microsoft tried to kill the Mac by rolling out a truly cursèd version of MS Office for MacOS. Mac users (5% of the market) who tried to send Word, Excel or Powerpoint files to Windows users (95% of the market) were stymied: their files wouldn't open, or they'd go corrupt. Tech managers like me started throwing the graphic designer's Mac and replacing it with a Windows box with a big graphics card and Windows versions of Adobe's tools.
