Even the non glass icons look terrible, they include some automatic blur being applied.

Yeah, but the issue is they didn’t buy a legal copy of the book. Once you own the book, you can read it as many times as you want. They didn’t legally own the books.

There‘s also the FSEvents database on the root of every disk which is a database of all the file events/operations that happened on that disk.

Supposedly you can disable it, but I haven’t got it to work. For example if you download a sensitive file, do something with it, and delete it. You can see this in the FSEvents database.

This is already a recall type feature at the file system level.

On iOS I’m using OutRun. It provides basic activity tracking, which is what I care about. I don’t need a social network.

It’s open source: https://github.com/timfraedrich/OutRun

Proprietary software is also really dogmatic. Steve Jobs famously didn’t support flash on the iPhone, there also was no direct access to files/file system in the UI for a very long time. Tim Cook told someone’s Mom to just buy an iPhone to access iMessage. There’s too many user hostile dogmatic positions from Apple.

I think this has nothing to do with open source vs proprietary, but rather specific individuals having power/control over the software to force specific decisions.

I’m using Feedly Classic on iOS. I would like to move off of it, but I have yet to find any other RSS client which presents the articles in a card like view which you can vertically swipe through to mark them as read.

Feedly themselves abandoned this UI for an infinite scrolling list on their main app. All other RSS clients I tried have this similar UI, which I feel is really poor.
