What I can’t yet figure out is wether or not this years bug fixes and refinements will make it feel like less work to navigate the UI, which I’m hopeful (and desperate) for.

I set up from scratch a new Mac for the first time in years, just a few weeks ago and ooof was that not a “just works” experience.

@stroughtonsmith @mark I welcome visual alignment with macOS, iPadOS, and iOS but I find LG’s style just requires more cognitive load to use. I have to be careful and double check things because of the content-on-top-of-content choice.

Leaving aside the bugs (which I would argue are egregious enough that it shouldn’t have shipped), I just find it more difficult to use. The iconography is less intuitive and it’s very inconsistent.

Dianna Cowern (aka Physics Girl on YouTube, and possibly @dianna) has been fighting COVID-induced ME/CFS since 2022. She just posted her first video in three years:

@stroughtonsmith meanwhile iOS will use its machine learning to highlight your bar chart as text:
Good morning! Today we’re excited to introduce a new thing we’ve been working on for years. This. Is Liquid Values. See how it fluidly moves between one set of deep convictions to another while maintaining a consistency of presentation and verbiage? Liquid Values is an industry first that can support both fighting democratic governments tooth and nail while cowtowing to, working with, and supporting autocracies. All this while staying true to our core: shareholder value.
We think you’ll love it.

@marcoarment the small thing I can do, and will do, is stop buying Apple hardware until he’s gone and his replacement demonstrates different behavior.

We’re in a regrettably historic moment and I choose to believe the small actions en masse can have a positive impact.

“Apple’s Tim Cook is among a group of CEOs being eviscerated for traveling to the White House on the same day Border Patrol agents killed a Veterans Affairs nurse in Minneapolis.

"Cook, who gifted President Donald Trump a 24-karat gold desk ornament on his last White House visit, returned on Saturday to attend a dinner and screening of the first lady’s new documentary, ‘Melania.’”

When we look back on his leadership in the future, let this be Tim Cook's legacy.

@caseyliss any VLANs set up?

@christianselig does it use UWB? Hyundai’s “Digital Key 2” does and it’s magic. It works exactly like having the key fob in my pocket.

I only use the fob when dropping my car off for service now. I don’t think I’ll ever buy a car again that doesn’t have UWB phone key support.

It falls back to NFC, but I’ve never had to use it.
