Very happy to see this happening. Tech consolidation is bad.

Where are those Phoenix cores from Nuvia?

This is an odd piece… the argument sounds like the author wants Apple software development to be like ChromsOS development. But these software platforms are very different, serving very different audiences, and very different developer needs. Apple software is not trying to be ChromeOS, nor should it. Without a rant, I feel the author would benefit from researching and reporting on the development models for ChromeOS and macOS. These development models are different, and yield particular results for the clear objectives each OS seeks to achieve. Compare and contrast, then represent the argument that Apple should adopt the ChromeOS development model to achieve its transition to Apple silicon objectives, SwiftUI development objectives, and software platform app parity/unification objectives. I highly doubt the ChromeOS model works for those objectives.

I hope this puts some pressure on Apple to make the Mac App Store more accessible for devs. I’d love to have a single place to download all my apps like the App Store on Mac. And Firefox is my main browser… so…

Same on my Skylake MacBook Pro 13in… the one that should be called MacBook b/c it has 15W U chip and no touchbar.

Waiting on the redesign of the Air or the M1 MacBook Pro to upgrade… praying for a 14in screen like the Pros, especially if they both go MiniLED.
