Now I get your point. Technically, I think it could be possible to only include the changes in Chrome. It would make sense for Google to push the changes all the way down to Chromium, though, as this would eliminate ad blockers on many competing browsers as well. Judging based on the past I would say this is what’s gonna happen

I guess so. I don’t get your second point however. Chromium is as independent from Google/Chrome as your banking app from your bank account.

If this happens I’ll consider switching back to a Linux machine next time a hardware upgrade is due.

Hope there are some rapid developments in non-Apple ARM Chips by then :')

Thanks for sharing, actually this very project inspired me to do it myself. It is an incredible resource when it comes to certain aspects of the database format!

Imho it has some deeper architectural issues though which I wanted to avoid in my implementation. I’m also using an entirely different tech stack I wanted to train myself in.

My implementation is not as feature complete as osxphotos but I’m sure I will be able to contribute back to the project with the occasional bug fix.

I reverse engineered the Apple Photos library file on my Mac as a side project and can confirm that hidden assets are not actually encrypted or otherwise protected. The respective assets are just not shown in the apps and can be accessed via Finder on macOS.

I didn’t know they were visible when you connect your phone to your PC but I guess it makes sense.

It’s not an Apple fanboy but imo it’s a lot more transparent on their side. There’s a switch for each and every service to use iCloud or not in the settings. Services don’t just re-enable their usage of iCloud after some random update and most importantly, they don’t just re-install apps you previously deleted. Or bloatware.

Thanks for sharing! Do you know if it can show/hide icons based on screen size? I used to only hide my icons when I’m not connected to a larger screen with Bartender.

Multiple tasks in one request! 🙏🏻

Thanks, I was wondering where this directory comes from for a while now!

I don’t see any need for BlueSky at all when there already is a great network in the form of Mastodon. I mean all (most) of the ideas you mentioned apply one-to-one to Mastodon as well. To me they have very similar ideas.

That article basically says nothing

And it once again shows why federated social media rocks 😎

Actually yes! I mean there are minor annoyances all over the place but there were reasons that lead me to buy an iPhone in the first place. And there are definitely still a lot of things I really like about it! Yet I’m at a point where i don’t feel like buying an iPhone the next time I need a new device.

Seriously, a grace period after which I won’t be able to update my apps anymore? Enough is enough, my next phone will be a Fairphone, I’m tired of this bullshit

I don’t think so. If you’re comfortable with coding you might be able to reverse engineer the macOS app’s database. I did so with the Photos app in order to batch export my photos.
