The Twitter website and apps are so bad that by design, they make me use the service much less often. I now understand how the Twitter app works, but it just doesn't click for me. Of course, I am in the minority that was using third-party apps, but I still think it is telling.

Very anecdotic but my usage of Twitter has dropped significantly since the Elon takeover. Not in retaliation to his actions, but rather because of his actions. I used to have Tweetbot opened on my Mac 24/7, and launched the app dozens of times a day on my phone.

Happy birthday to the man who literally changed my life (and most likely yours)
Quote Tweet
Happy birthday, Steve, we'll forever miss you and the magic of your amazing presentations! "An iPod, a phone and an internet communicator. An iPod, a phone… Are you getting it? These are not three separate devices. This is one device, and we are calling it iPhone."

OK, I have to say it... Elon Musk comes across as such a tool with all his recycled Facebook memes. Who looks at this and thinks it's funny or witty?

When I was in that same high school years later, wine was definitely banned, however we were allowed to smoke during recess. The good old days, I’m telling you.

When my dad was in high school (in France), they were given wine at the school cafeteria to drink for lunch.
Also when I was in elementary school, I witnessed a teacher lifting a kid off the ground by his ears. We don’t make teachers like that anymore.

I remember when I was in junior high back home in France, our literature teacher slapped that asshole kid hard in the face with a 200+ pages book. The kid fell off his chair, sat back on, and was quiet for the rest of the year. I don’t think this would fly these days.

But the real question is, did they fix the UI bug that briefly makes notification banners appear with square corners on the Lock Screen? Yes, the one that’s been here since iOS 16.0!

As the father of 2 who’s spent a considerable amount of time in various Apple Stores, I confirm that I’ve visited quite my fair share of Apple Store bathrooms across the country (and overseas)
Quote Tweet
I just learned from @MichaelSteeber that most Apple Stores have at least one bathroom in the Backstage area that customers can use if they ask. Apple doesn't advertise it. I find this fascinating 😂

I think I’m starting to get the hang of the Twitter app. I’m not saying I’m liking it. I’m saying I’m starting to understand it a little better now. Only took 2 weeks, which prompts the question: am I just that slow, or could the app be more intuitive?

This is great if like me you use a clock/calendar app like Dato in your menu bar. Also everyone should use Dato. Also, Dato will likely get Sherlocked as it makes too much sense.

With all the rain we've seen in Southern California lately, I must say Apple's Weather app has been incredibly accurate at telling when rain would start and stop. I tip my hat to everyone making this possible (RIP Dark Sky)!

Because 👏 it 👏 makes 👏 sense 👏 Do not (I repeat, do not) bring up the senseless argument about UI elements and targets being too small for touch on Mac.

How’s everyone liking the Twitter app? Personally I’m having a hard time adjusting. The app always makes me feel like I’m in my own house looking for the whisk in the kitchen drawer but somehow my wife put it somewhere else and now I have to open every drawer to find it.

Maybe you will have to be a Twitter Blue user in order to be able to use a third-party Twitter client? I'm not saying this is what it should be (I'm personally not a Blue user), but that would make sense.

The fact there’s been a Twitter API that allowed third-party apps to exist for years is a miracle. You aren’t allowed a third-party client for Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, or any other social media platform. If anything, I’d consider Twitter clients an anomaly.

You dock it to the keyboard and it’s a Mac. You undock it, and it’s an iPad. An iPad. A Mac. An iPad. A Mac. An iPad. A Mac. Are you getting it? These are not 2 separate devices!

Just give us an iPad Pro that can boot macOS as well. K thx. twitter.com/Techmeme/statu…

Of course it is an obvious next step. Now watch all the Apple commenters back out their longtime claims that touchscreens don’t make sense on Mac (the famous small tap target nonsense). Touch Macs have always made sense, and in a few years, we’ll all be able to confirm it

Apple is working on its first Macs with touchscreens in a major reversal. The company has teams working on a new MacBook Pro with a touchscreen for release in 2025. bloomberg.com/news/articles/

I got tired of hearing everyone rave about the so I gave it a try. Holy smokes! The hype is real! Not only it is designed well, but it also packs tons of very helpful data and information. A perfect travel companion.

Airline boarding groups feel like: - anyone with disability - anyone in the military - families with kids under 2 - people with red backpacks - males under 40 wearing flannel shirt - anyone whose first name starts with letter B - group 1 - group 2 - group 3 - group 4

My daughter just called me from her grandparents landline. She said “I’m calling you from the phone in their house. You know, the phone like they have in hotels.” Wait until she finds out I used to insert coins in a pay phone in a booth at the corner of that street

Ahhh the arrogance of Americans with their signs saying “it’s called soccer.” It’s not! It’s football. As in a game you play with your feet. Also of note: today is the 10th year anniversary of me acquiring American citizenship. Let’s go USA! 🇺🇸 ⚽️
