If only there was enough room to display the other half of that sentence.

It’s nice that I can now have an eye on the charging status of my watch without leaving the YouTube app.

I can hardly overstate how much I hate being sent commercial emails which I didn’t ask for. This is a particularly dumb example – I already bought the damn thing. A day before the spam email for it arrives. Which it only does because they manufactured my consent to receive their spam from me “opening an account” by ordering. I’m so glad this shit is illegal where I live. Maybe the EU should export some freedom to the US when it comes to these things.

Guess what happens if you click on the profile picture or “Justin”?

If you — like I did myself — guessed that it opens the Apple Music profile of the person (like it’s the case for all other instances where you see someone’s profile picture in the Music.app) you’d be wrong.

What actually happens: It immediately sends a follow request to the person just like if you clicked the “Follow” button. This is especially infuriating if there are multiple people with the same name and default avatar and you don’t know who’s who.

In order to use Finder.app, you have to first learn the basics of graphic design. Because if you don’t, how would you be able to tell the positive space of an icon from the negative space of it, and click on the correct area in order to select the item?

Apparently the fruit company knows what item you want to select when you are clicking. It just wants to punish you for not being a good graphic design student (or maybe punish the developer for not embracing the Big Sur style icon).

Hilarious. I think you could argue for not accepting the clicks outside of the icon, but clicking into the donut hole should select the donut. I can’t quite remember if it was in earlier versions of macOS or in Windows Explorer, but I’ve had similar problems when trying to select Finder/Explorer items and clicking into the empty space inside the 0 of e.g. a Date Modified timestamp, instead of hitting the number’s actually visible pixels.

I can see how Instagram has issues filtering this really hard to detect spam.

One would think that our current generation of computers is powerful enough to render a window without flickering. Maybe the next generation will fix that.

But… what if I want to be warned again?

PS: Eagle-eyed readers zooming in a few hundred percent will see that there’s a nearly invisible checkbox in front of “Do not warn me again”. That’s #e5e5e5 on #e9e9e9.

Wouldn’t it be great if iMessage could also show me what is amazing, instead of only the tweet that says there is something amazing? Quote Tweets have been a thing since early 2015. iMessage has had Link Previews since iOS 10, i.e. late 2016. Over four years, and it still can’t preview Quote Tweets properly, forcing you to leave the conversation and switch to the Twitter app or – worse – the browser if you want to know what you’ve been sent.

Makes me wonder if it’s deliberate and part of some shitty content licensing agreement between Apple and Twitter.

How do you hide an image in Photos.app? You open the Share menu. Obviously! Remember the classic Windows joke that you have to click on “Start” to stop it?

Thanks Fuchen for the submission!
