I’ve spent the past couple of days trying to do something in SwiftUI and this is the most frustrated I’ve ever been at a framework I want to use.

Ugh. I’m stuck in the Valley of the Shadow of Transferring Japanese One-Time Password Apps From an Old Phone to a New Phone.

It’s only been a week or so but I don’t like the way notifications work in iOS 16. I wish there was a way to have notifications always display rather than hidden at the bottom of the Lock Screen.

I’m having a very difficult time getting into a competitive 3v3 Rocket League game. My last four games have been cancelled because there weren’t enough people. Am worried this doesn’t bode well for the health of the player base.

Nothing in the MCU has disappointed me as much as the Spider-Man films. Tom Holland is perfect and Batalon, Zendaya and the rest of the cast infuse the films with a humour that is such an important part of the comics. Such a shame the MCU baggage is shackled to it like an anchor.

The subject of this piece on floppy disks is absolutely delightful.

I have to say I really dislike the way notifications in iOS 16. I haven’t seen many complaints about it so I assume I just have an incredibly idiosyncratic way of managing my notifications.

My 123-game Wordle streak has been snapped.

I wish you could make the drop shadow diffusion on the iOS 16 lock screen less extreme.

Am hoping the deep purple was not a mistake…

I swear, next year I’m going to get a phone set up properly with my Japanese Apple ID so I can order through the Apple Store app. The website was a disaster.

I wish more blogs (and especially Substack) would put publishing dates in URLs. It’s helpful to be able to tell without visiting a page whether a post that’s being linked is from a week, a month, a year or a decade ago.

In case your music service of choice didn’t alert you to this development either, Regina Spektor’s debut album was released to streaming services at the end of August.

I wish Waffle would support cross-device play.
