@noheger@wien.rocks Things like this make me want to switch to Linux and build my own Desktop environment and window manager. Like, gather all the macOS devs who still understand how desktop UX is supposed to work, take an Apple HIG from the 90s or so and let‘s build ourselves a new home. And when we are done with that (shouldn’t take longer than a couple decades, right?), we fork the open source component from Android and do the same for mobile UX.

@cocoafrog@hachyderm.io @noheger@wien.rocks Have you seen elementaryOS (https://elementary.io)? Definitely some people over there who care about design. At least a starting point.

@cocoafrog@hachyderm.io This is the future. We have to leave behind corporations like Apple because they don't care *at all* about anything except short term shareholder value We got lucky that, for some reason, Steve Jobs did care about user experience. Those days are over. It's never coming back because corporate America will not hire someone who isn't all-in on their profits-over-everything-else cult
