The new tab placement “logic” of Safari is driving me insane. In this video all I did was click to switch/close tabs and press ⌘T to open new tabs.

Step by step in this video this is what happens:

• Tab 1, new tab right of tab 1 (next to it)
• Tab 5, new tab right of tab 6 (end of bar)
• Tab 2, new tab right of tab 6 (end of bar)
• Tab 3, new tab right of tab 3 (next to it)
• Tab 2, new tab right of tab 2 (next to it)
• Tab 5, new tab right of tab 5 (next to it)
• Tab 6, new tab right of tab 6 (end of bar, next to it)
• Tab 5, new tab right of tab 6 (end of bar)

Safari, you’re drunk.

For a while now I haven’t been getting email notifications at work when someone cancels a meeting. So today I finally went to check if I had changed a setting without remembering, but I guess someone at Google just fell asleep on their keyboard while editing my settings row in their database?!

New Podcast.app on Catalina behaves very weirdly. The sidebar randomly either highlights the clicked on selection or it doesn’t, no pattern.

On iOS it seems potentially useful to have app “suggestions” (some things are just easier to handle in a dedicated app than in a mobile browser) it doesn’t really make sense in Safari on macOS.

While other annoying features like websites offering push notifications have a “Don’t ask me again” button, there’s no such thing here. Uninstalling the app seems to be the most reasonable option.

Yes, Google. This is exactly what I had in mind when I clicked the “Insert chart” button. The underlying data could not be more simple and linear, but of course I wanted this satanic symbol and not just a boring graph.

Yes, this makes a lot of sense.

???That’s very helpful, thanks DHL???

Needless to say: “Show more” did not show more.

New privacy feature in iOS 13, the invisible email.

I’m a paying customer and already signed in, but yet I still have to read through the offer again and acknowledge once more that I’m ready to spend these 9.99 Euros every month. Not that I have a choice, as the only other button is a “Learn More” link.

Clicking on the “iTunes Store” in the Music.app sidebar changes the view to be a random Smart Playlist. Clicking it again will actually navigate to that Smart Playlist.

An imaginary reader might ask: “But how do you access the iTunes store then?“

I’m still investigating.
