      Screw it, I made an app this afternoon.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It solves a very specific problem I have. I want to weigh myself and record the weight in Apple Health. That’s it, it literally needs nothing else. Some apps are fine for this, but I figured how hard could it be?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Turns out, it’s like 100 lines of code to do this 😅&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Add some styling and error handling and I might just release this lil’ guy.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#BuildInPublic or whatever 🤗&lt;br/&gt;&lt;video controls width=&#34;100%&#34; class=&#34;max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700&#34;&gt;&lt;source src=&#34;https://cdn.masto.host/isfeelingsocial/media_attachments/files/113/762/006/300/394/513/original/2530a16ba9b438e0.mp4&#34;&gt;&lt;/video&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

    <content type="html">
      My pet peeve is how poorly the Apple press covers contactless payments. It’s always “Home Depot adds Apple Pay support” and it seems a rare exception when they also mention in their post that what actually happened is they enabled the open standard which Apple Pay runs on, so Google, Samsung, PayPal, and a million other wallets all work.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I get it, saying “Apple Pay” in a headline on an Apple site makes sense, but reporting is woefully incomplete in the articles themselves.

      You’ll all be very proud of me. At work someone was prepping a slide deck and needed some images. They fought with ChatGPT for hours to get something good, but it all looked terrible. They brought me in, I made them some graphics in like 10 minutes that looked so much better, and they were super happy.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When it comes to AI-generated images in your presentations, just say no ✌️

It turned out great there, and this feels like the same situation all over again.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Apple should never add inputs…then they do…and everyone is still happy 😝

It does exactly what you&amp;#39;re saying and I don&amp;#39;t think anyone thinks it&amp;#39;s a disaster.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am actually curious what you mean by ruining the cognitive accessibility of macOS? Again, iPadOS does all this already and I don&amp;#39;t think people are pulling their hair out on whether they tap or click on something, right? Not arguing Microsoft is bad at software interactions, but that doesn&amp;#39;t prove much IMO about it being impossible.

      I think social media is a test to see if a human who dislikes something, can see someone else liking that thing, and just leave them be.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;My experience tells me all too many people fail this test :rage: &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&amp;#39;ve said it before and I&amp;#39;ll say it again, when someone else enjoys something, unless there is a *really* good reason, just let them be.
