I didn’t appear so, at least from my interpretation.

As I read it, the comment implied Microsoft had something to do with cleaning it up and/or that work started post-acquisition. Neither of which reflects the reality.

You're right—in the past they could.

But App Store economics and subscription services have reset expectations on pricing and have forced downward pressure on upfront pricing.

So now even if a company (possibly like Shifty Jelly) wanted to retain that model it becomes close to impossible.

+1 on this.

Something easier to read, and—to match the posts description—elegant would make this a much more attractive theme.

Not that it's hard to swap it out for anyone who likes the theme otherwise, but worth considering changing since first impressions will influence downloads/usage.

Yet another vote for Spectacle.

I also pair this with Cinch[1] as I regularly switch between inputs and setups (KB & Mouse at the desk, neither on the go) and like to have flexibility with both keyboard and mouse/trackpad control.

The key value-add of Cinch for me is replicating Windows-style 'drag-to-top' for fullscreen, and 'drag-to-side' for half-screen window adjustments.

In short, Spectacle for fine-tuned keyboard controlled window management, and Cinch for mouse/trackpad.

I have somewhere between 5–20% comprehension of what they're talking about in a technical sense but found the conversation from 4m31s (as you've linked) to ~10m45s utterly fascinating.

Surely everyone else just sees this as a scaled way to keep training Google's machine learning models, right?

I literally saw this headline, and immediately went to the comments to search "Apple" to see if anyone had already written this (another Apple alumni here).

There's also an aphorism with a similar but different sentiment, Hanlon's Razor [1], that states: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Confused as to why there is any objection to this. He stated that it'll typically get a reply that includes their email, and he is simply creating context within the subject line – this advantageous for the receiver.

If it were me (and I had indeed shared my email to the person reaching out on Twitter) I'd appreciate the reminder of how/why they are reaching out on email.

Best when I actually stick to a no "no screens policy" 30mins prior.

I also use f.lux (mac) and the Night Shift mode on iPhone.
