It's been getting worse for months. I literally tweeted yesterday that Claude has ADHD and nothing I do will keep him focused. It's not entirely true though, I have found if I'm rude and mean it stays on track a lot better bu

No, keeping it disabled makes zero sense. There's no reason now to force people to enable it. Most people don't even know you can do it in windows so it's not like there's a huge problem for them. No reason not to leave

Because it's stupid. Why would accessibility features enabled by default on Windows and Linux be disabled by default in MacOS? There is literally zero advantage to disabling it, and it makes life harder on users. Same thing with tap to

I talked about SDKs not APIs. No one thinks iPhoneOS was created without the ability to support apps, Steve Jobs' comment about web-only apps being the future is known bs. I also didn't say anything about revenue. One does not nee
