The most frustrating thing about Apple software engineering isn't that they break things. It's that they break things and then take YEARS to fix them.

"I currently receive about 100 reports from my apps each day."

Wow, that sounds insane! I don't get anywhere near that support volume.

Some days, I get no reports. https://mastodon.social/@mjtsai/113924973457094527

I "solved" the phantom count on my Mail app Unread smart mailbox by adding a criterion for the account and narrowing it down a little used email account of mine.

When I logged into webmail, I discovered an unread message that Mail app somehow didn't download, but still registers as unread. When I marked it as read in webmail, the unread count disappearing in Mail app.

But now I see that the server messages counts and Mail app message counts differ for a lot of mailboxes! WTF?

However, I was able to remove the phantom unflagged messages from my Flagged folder, thanks to suggestions I found on the web.

I just deleted the messages, and then undid the deletion. https://mastodon.social/@lapcatsoftware/113925569350394710

"Apple’s entitlement to compensation for distributing Google search to its users."

That's some entitlement mentality. https://mastodon.online/@9to5Mac/113924012561182978

Apple doesn't need to grow revenue. Apple already consistently earns a massive amount of revenue and an obscene amount of profit. What more could you want? Unlimited greed is destructive, both ethically and environmentally.

Fuck anyone who says that Apple needs to grow. What's the end game? Apple monopolizes the entire tech industry? Or every industry, establishing a corporate dystopic hell on Earth? Nobody should want that.

Make a good living making good products, and be satisfied with that.

Bad news, everyone! For some damn reason, pasting doesn't work right into the old calculator app on Sequoia. It always inserts a decimal point after the first digit. :-( https://mastodon.social/@lapcatsoftware/113914812626188196

Looking at the 4-quarter moving averages for iPad, iPhone, Mac, and wearables, hardware revenue looks pretty flat over the past 3 years. So-called "services" are the only thing that hasn't peaked already. https://zeppelin.flights/@sixcolors/113919474119174489

I just looked at the Bluesky "Discover" feed, and its >99% shit that I don't want to see.

I don't think I'm missing anything by mostly ignoring that network.

I filed Radar 6763077 FB5392624 "Provide standard way to show typing in secure text fields" nearly 16 years ago, and the lack of this feature still pisses me off almost every day.
