Wish that Australia would get their act together and enable this functionality
1/ With the omicron surge, I have had more friends send me screenshots of exposure notifications (EN) in the last week than I have in the last year. Here are some reflections based on the work I led at @Apple working with @Google and some thoughts on the road ahead. 🧵

No we did it. Not you. We sacrificed and lockdown when you didn’t bother getting vaccines. We masked up in droves when you didn’t build quarantine facilities. We followed the rules when you opposed lockdowns from day 1. We saved thousands of lives when you were indifferent
We did it! ✅ 70% of Australians aged 16+ are now fully vaccinated against COVID. Thank you, Australia. Now let’s bring this home across the country and hit the 80% target in the National Plan so we can continue to safely reopen and stay safely open.

Anyone else with ADHD feel guilty for not catching up with certain people that actually mean a lot to you? Even though they probably understand, it still makes me feel so unsettled on the inside. There’s always a lot going on and I’m so easily overwhelmed

I feel there’s no harm in introducing SwiftUI code into an app gradually. But I don’t understand the rush to rewrite software in a new & nascent framework. Users don’t care if their Mac app is written in AppKit, UIKit or SwiftUI. But they do care about performance & reliability

I’d love some feedback/validation on github.com/AU-COVIDSafe/mobi… These two locked iPhones had been sitting together for 30 mins before I took this video. The logs show exchanges were not made until after I unlocked the device. It doesn’t look like “100% performance” to me, at all.

We welcome feedback from the tech community. You can provide feedback in github, via bit.ly/2ViEOZf

Quick summary on today's COVIDSafe news: 1. This is not "engaging with the tech community". The code is not inspection quality, and despite numerous CVEs and serious issues raised, nobody I know was contacted or notified of this.

8. Despite using the same underlying payload, the old and new BLE systems are not compatible. Which means that _everyone_ has to update. But auto-updating (especially on Android) has not worked well for COVIDSafe.

The new Herald-based COVIDSafe app will abuse the iOS location APIs to run in the background, get your GPS location but pinky-swear that it won't use it, and sacrifice your battery in the process. Throw it in the fire and just use Exposure Notifications.

As a mobile engineer, this technology is pathetic, limited, and interferes with other tech out there. You have gone out of your way to eschew platform technologies for control. Your thirst for control could cost lives. Absolutely pathetic.
