@thomasfuchs their platforms feel so stunted by their own decisions, especially mobile. like ipads alone have long outgrown "just a big iphone" in terms of hardware yet i can't find any utility in them at all. i have a mini and every good thing about it is something it -almost- does as well as a desktop computer, but with enough grit and fuss that it's never the correct device to use. and like, i love ultraportable computers, ipads should be my favorite devices ever
