Update: AI will not be a topic at next week’s Apple event. Turns out the paraphrased quote from CNBC was inaccurately characterized. https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/02/tim-cook-confirms-apple-will-discuss-big-plans-for-ai-at-next-weeks-ipad-event/

@stroughtonsmith I still check my Threads account’s mentions from time to time on Mastodon. I think more people should do the same.

Apparently Apple Music for Mac has rabid fanbois (they are all men. All of them) and they are on Threads?! Of all the truly shitty products to stan, you want to defend Apple Music on the Mac?! I’ll defend Apple Music on iOS, even tho sync is a shit show, but on the desktop?! Man normies are weird.

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@film_girl I noticed this too. I complained about how you can't close the settings menu with ⌘W on Threads a few weeks ago and the fanbois came after me.

The Music app on macOS feels like an Electron app. It's genuinely abhorrent.

I get a kick out of knowing that ESPN’s CMS uses Markdown. (I’m guessing the author mistakenly put a space between the square brackets and the parentheses.)

@gruber I don't even understand why they ask you to first install the desktop client when you try to set up the iOS one. What are they doing in the background?

If I ran a website that supported Google-account login, I'd be pretty pissed at how they're suddenly putting up an obnoxious overlay over my site's layout.

Why is this not bothering more people? Does anyone give a shit about their websites anymore?

Does Google?

Yes, if you switch from iPhone to Android you ... have to learn how to use the Android interface?

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@ChanceHMiller Well, that's why Apple should be required to run Android on iPhones — to prevent further monopolies.

From the DOJ complaint:

“Apple inhibits third-party smartwatches from maintaining a reliable connection with the iPhone.”

To be fair, Apple does that to its own smartwatches too.

The way John Gruber writes about the EU feels insulting at this point.

I’m sensing it as the same kind of rhetoric that was used by Brexiters about 10 years ago — dumbing down the narrative to the point of disregarding some of the most important aspects that have lead to the DMA.

His way of constantly implying that Apple’s anticompetitive practices can be justified because they make for better experiences is often just based on the false assumption that people are dumber than they really are.

EshuMarneedi,

@stroughtonsmith @gruber @nileane That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard about this issue yet.

@michaelsteeber has already made the best maps app for Apple Vision Pro. BitMaps is amazing. I mean, this is what Apple should’ve shipped the native Maps app on day one, and they blew it.

As a map nerd, I’m very excited for when this app ships.

There seems to be a lot of Vision Pro owners who don't realize you can access the home screen from Control Center 🤔

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@stroughtonsmith I think a lot of us do know, it’s just inconvenient because you have to move your whole head up to get to Control Center.

AVP owners and reviewers - can you input text via your iPhone? (similar to how you can input text to your Apple TV via iPhone)

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber @tvaziri Seriously. The Vision Pro knows I’m looking at my phone, why doesn’t it just unlock it for me, similar to when you first set it up and it prompts you to just look at your phone to transfer your Apple ID?
