Stop looking at what Final Cut and Logic Pro on iPad can do for you, the Mac veteran that's used these apps and miles of plugins for years.

Look at what these apps provide for iPad users that don't have the Mac versions of the apps. What functionality is now on iPad because of these apps that wasn't there before. For only $5/mo each.

Version 1 too. I think we're off too a great start and I'm excited for what WWDC adds to their capabilities.

Yet another installment of an Apple pundit ignores the facts to write a clickbait story about the limitations of the #iPad. Making stuff up to fit their preferred narrative. @filipeesposito at @9to5Mac

"Final Cut for iPad highlights iPadOS limitations:
This week, Apple finally released Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for the iPad – two highly anticipated apps for professionals. While this is a step in the right direction, these apps highlight the limitations of iPadOS."

Seeing people use the heck out of Logic Pro on iPad is so much fun. There's so much focus on roundtripping and feature parity in pundit reviews, but if you live in a world without a Mac these seem like pretty incredible apps today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiIbiQ5UY4U

A few thoughts on Final Cut Pro for the iPad

I’m generally not big on hot takes so gave myself a few days to consider before writing a blog post. As for the news of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for the #iPad: fantastic!

Personally, I don’t do much video editing. I’ve currently got a personal/family project going in LumaFusion. My next project might be in FCP just for the fun of learning it. Way back around 2002 I spent some time doing video work and learned FCP.

A different kind #WikiPoll this week: we've been on the Fediverse for just over a month now, what kind of posts do you enjoy seeing and want more of?

Is there #Wikipedia-related content you want to see that we aren't posting?

I'm hardly a Mastodon veteran — I only joined in November. But if you're new, you should know that because there are no algorithms here, the only way to increase engagement for a post is to reboost it. Liking is nice, but it doesn't result in any more people seeing it.

I’d like to make a case for the best MagSafe dock for your desk…

Update to my post on the re-launched Hipstamatic:

Any experienced programmer worth their salt will tell you that •producing• code — learning syntax, finding examples, combining them, adding behaviors, adding complexity — is the •easy• part of programming.

The hard part: “How can it break? How will it surprise us? How will it change? Does it •really• accomplish our goal? What •is• our goal? Are we all even imagining the same goal? Do we understand each other? Will the next person to work on this understand it? Should we even build this?”

Folks, if you see someone without obvious scientific credentials interpreting a study with inciting results, be skeptical. Lots of people out there saying bullshit that they literally yanked out of an orifice.

Though our inability to search Mastodon for words is occasionally momentarily vexing, I concede my inability to seek out things to anger me is better for my well-being.

@aulia @Gartenberg Much is made that iPadOS is simultaneously not powerful enough, too simple, and yet, is not easy enough. Folks, it's an operating system that, like any, requires users to actually make an effort to learn new features. As it becomes more powerful, more capable, users that want to take advantage of those features do actually have to make an effort. The same is also true of the Mac. You cant have your cake and eat it too. #iPadOS

I know I am extremely culturally biased but “Silicon Valley Bank” kind of screams “Juicero Pets.com Savings and CryptoLoan” to me.

I was woken up today by a phone call letting me know that due purely to budgeting changes I’ve been let go from my full-time contracting position I just started in January after being laid off in September.

I am a former #Apple #engineer with 15 years of experience making apps for #iOS and #macOS. I also have experience with #Ruby. Available immediately for full time or contract work.

Please boost. #Swift #RubyOnRails

@Mer__edith calls the #OnlineSafetyBill what it is, a menace to privacy and a way to impose mass surveillance via our messaging apps.

If the people who write the call center scripts had ANY idea how enraging “I understand that you want to…” is the 45th time they say it…. They’d probably put it in the script more often.

If you see NetNewsWire for Android, or anything other than Mac and iOS, don’t download it — it’s a scam.

Hello world! Elon Musk picking a twitter fight with Icelandic philanthropist and man of the year 2022 Haraldur Thorleifsson ended up being the final push that we needed, so now we are here on Mastodon.
