Why is there such a huge variation in implementations? On macOS Safari, some websites just login with a single click, others make me authenticate with my Apple Watch, and yes others make me enter my mac user password. Also annoying is websites that prompt for a passkey when I’m not using one. It’s all more frustrating than convenient, in my opinion.

This has been driving me crazy for weeks, and I just figured out the “solution”. So dumb.

Finally updated one machine to macOS Tahoe. It’s wild that we’re on a .5 and it’s still this janky. Apple, hire me and I’ll tell you everything wrong with macOS.

Cook likely wants his legacy at Apple to be accessibility, environment, health, etc... Unfortunately, this will be be his legacy:

I have an app in the App Store!!!

Me waiting for my first iOS app to make it through app review:
I’m sure I’ve said this before, but modern country music has become a parody of itself. It’s literally now just all the jokes we used to make about it 20 years ago. I don’t understand how anyone can listen to this.
It’s quite remarkable how, every time I fly, airlines have found new ways to make the experience more miserable and frustrating than before
