What do you think about Apple and its ecosystem? (And a little conversation I had with a colleague)

So Apple is obviously an evil, profit seeking company that exploits users and developers, maintains a monopoly and actively hurts efforts towards openness.

But bro, what else am I gonna use? Do you think Google is any better.

And, as you already noticed, most open source alternatives suuuck. (Man, I'm gonna regret saying this on an FOSS community) With some research you'll get a usable desktop OS for some use-cases, but phones such as Fairphone and Purism are another story entirely. Don't even think about watches or tablets. I love the Purism Firefox demo, where they enthusiastically say: "With Settings unusable in Portrait, it's time to switch to landscape mode".

The "you think ... yet you buy ..." argument is pointless, because it ignores the realities of monopolies and globalism. I'm sure his T-Shirt that day wasn't made from ethically sourced cotton or whatever.

The reason for Android's Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application's notifications.

Also they're just visually bad. The bubbles have way too much spacing. The low-contrast blurry bubbles make everything feel cluttered. When expanding a group, you'll see the same app icon repeated 20 times, while the headlines are clipped. The typography doesn't feel right: headlines are too large, text styles on individual notifications are too similar and the line heights are too small. The scheduled summary was a nice idea, but again it's blurred background on blurred backgrounds. And if all of that wasn't cluttered enough, let's make everything overlap at bottom.

Apple is usually really good at this, I don't know what this particular design team was smoking.

Digitaler Nachlass, Passwortweitergabe nach dem Tod

Ich weiß nicht wie Bitwarden es macht, aber man kann trivial Schlüssel so verteilen, dass zwei Parteien nötig sind um den Tresor zu öffnen.

Naiver Ansatz frei aus dem Kopf: Verschlüssle deine Daten synchron mit Key A. Dann verschlüssle Key A mit Key B. Gib Key B an Bitwarden und den verschlüsselten Key A an deinen Notfallkontakt. Bitwarden kann dann Key B rausrücken sobald dein Notfalkontakt sich ausweißt.

Bitwarden macht das mit Sicherheit cleverer, aber das Beispiel sollte ausreichen.

Kannst du aber meines Wissens nicht.

Bei BW weiß ich es nicht, aber zumindest bei Apple braucht man das Todeszertifikat und einen ausgedruckten Schlüssel.

Edit: Jetzt wo ich drüber nachdenke: Die Vertrauensperson muss ein Bitwarden Konto haben. Also denke ich, die verschlüsseln einfach asynchron die Zugangsdaten mit dem Public-Key der Vertrauensperson und laden das Ergebnis bei sich hoch.
