I've seen this passed around a bunch and skimmed it and nodded in agreement (because obviously the new mac OS interface design is bad), but I didn't actually sit down and read the whole thing until just now.

I don't know if it's useful feedback, but I do think a "How do we make money (aka where's the treasure buried)?" marketing page would help a lot. I think many people are (rightly) skeptical of "this is better in all ways… no strings attached" kinds of pitches.

I created an Apple Shortcut for iPhone that lets you quickly generate accessibility alt text for images using Apple’s Private Cloud Compute model — it’s accurate & the prompt is based on Harvard’s alt text guide

Why on earth can I still not watch the last 5+ seasons of Grand Designs in the US?!?
Every once in a while I check, thinking surely the BBC will have licensed it to Netflix or something by now, or at least BritBox, but no.
