I need to speak to the person at Apple who wrote this UI copy.
@ismh I agree, they should just put a "Cancel" button that when you click on it would say "here's how to cancel, hold down the command key and press period.”

@jsnell @ismh Oooh, I can play this game!

This one goes out to the macOS Sonoma UI folks... I hope it pisses you off as much as it does me.

@TPOHolmes @jsnell @ismh Great, now I’m going to procrastinate on upgrading until they stop making security updates for whatever comes before is called.

If I’m inactive I don’t need the thing turning back on after five minutes of blanking. Just stay blanked until I need you.

@dlek @jsnell @ismh THAT's an interpretation of it I hadn't even considered!

I want to know where the batteries with displays are. And why it’d ask for my password 5 seconds AFTER the display turns off? And why one option uses “After" while the others use “For” when neither seems right for the purpose? And is “screen saver" capitalized or no?

How can so many things be wrong with only four options described in only 40 words?

Which brings me to one of my favorite phrases…
Who tested this shit?
