Yes, but I think it still behaved weirdly with external changes. It's been a few years now, maybe it discarded any unsaved changes and just re-read the version from disk, or maybe it auto closed any editors for files that didn't exist after a branch change. Awkward behavior like that. VSCode and Sublime Text are much better in this regard.

> apps that are phone only are letterboxed, but still entirely usable

How is that possible? iPhones have had varying screen sizes for more than a decade, how could any app still have a fixed size?

I'd love to rub my nose on their belly. I don't care about my ears anyway

How do you expect things to be popular without a company with self-interest? Producing a linux phone that people want requires immense capital, they're not just spending that and then releasing as open source forever.

By the time the product becomes "popular", it's then just one more platform that needs to follow investor interest and laws.

Yikes. I had to stop using JetBrains software for similar reason (their autosave effectively conflicted with external git usage). This is inexcusable to me but to each their own.

Tell me how passkeys makes this any worse. If one's digital life is a mess, there's no magic solution to it.

That's false. It's a digital key and it doesn't matter where it's stored. My key is on iCloud and it can be unlocked with my many recovery methods and contacts https://support.apple.com/en-us/102641

As for normies, passkeys or passwords it doesn't make a difference. Either you have people who use love1969 everywhere or those who constantly lose their passwords.

All passkeys accounts for normies require an email or phone number, which is what you can use to recover a password or passkey exactly the same way.

If only smart people didn't already have a solution to this https://support.apple.com/en-us/102641

As someone who uses a single password manager on my computer and phone, I don't see the problem with passkeys. I use Safari on both and I never even had to "set up" anything.

I can see why they would be problematic for people who otherwise live life with a single love2025 password though.

It's a key, what else do non-technical people need to know?

Ironically on macOS we used to have an app called Keychain which unfortunately was effectively renamed to Passwords for non-technical users.

The iPhone Pros do have a depth sensor, I don’t think it's exported but it does stay in Photos' library.

Crashed within 10 seconds on iPhone 17 Pro. Love the vibes

"Better" is subjective. I've been using iOS 27 beta and other than a few bugs it hasn't been that bad. I only had some minor downgrades in Safari UI, but those are minor and personal.

One thing I hated was a downgrade in Photos app on iOS 26 though, that hasn't improved in 27. Unfortunately it seems I was the only one loving Photos on iOS 18.

I did jump from macOS 18 to macOS 27 beta though and Safari's UI is abhorrent.
