I write a long response to a 3 star review to help clarify a concern then had. I submit in and it's pending Apple's review. I notice an error so I click "edit review", make a change and save. Now the reply is gone, nothing pending, just gone.

My talk from @SwiftLeeds has been posted!! 😱

I had to force myself to apply for this (my first talk ever) but I'm so glad that I did because it was an incredible experience.

Thank you Swift Leeds team!

Yup, I too remember when Jobs moved directly from disk drives to flash storage and everyone on Facebook complained.

“But frankly, it's a very Jobsian approach to things. The removal of the disk drive, nobody liked that, everybody on the forums and Facebook was complaining about it, but to that he said, "Look, guys, flash storage really is the future. Get on board, you'll see that." That's kind of what we're saying here, in fact that's exactly what we're saying.”

Uh oh, the missing VoiceOver voice bug is even worse. When upgrading from iOS 26 to 26.0.1 it DELETED the Nicky voice! Maybe it's trying to free up space or something but this is a really major bug that will delete the primary voice used for the Wordhord with EVERY OS update.

I haven't had the time to test the 26.1 beta but they better have this fixed.

I was trying out the new Coding Assistant recently using ChatGPT. It didn't do the best job so I went in and changed most of the code around until I was happy with the result.

The one thing I didn't notice was it also decided to credit @nicklockwood for the work.

So uh, thanks?
