7/7 I am not against "one app" : simplifying the delivery, interface, content, and billing is good (though you _know_ the price is going to go up... :( ) but I sincerely hope that the Hulu development team is allowed share some improvements, because the Disney+ app team needs help.

6/x Instead, you _must_ enter your PIN with left-right controls which are displayed on screen. Anyone watching the TV now knows your PIN, even if you enter it from the remote app.

Once again, completely unlike _every other streaming service_.

5/x Rather than presenting a keyboard interface (such as the one Hulu uses, or Netflix, or even the half-assed Paramount+ app uses), you are presented with a GUI interface that _looks_ like a keyboard but is not, in fact, a keyboard interface. You _cannot_ enter your PIN privately.

4/x But that's not the one that bothers me the most. The one that bothers me the most is that I have some very inquisitive children and the password prompt (where you enter your profile PIN) on the Disney+ Apple TV app was implemented by monsters.

3/x Contrarily, Hulu's interface is much more user friendly: rather than pushing solely brands at you, it seems to focus more on content categorization. Sure you can find the newest brand-specific content, but you can also browser for varied anime content you might have missed.

2/x Disney+ divides all of the content up based on branding. You want Star Wars? Go to the Star Wars hub. You want Marvel? Here you go.

You want to see comedies about murders in an apartment building that you haven't watched? Too bad, you will _never_ find Only Murders in the Building.

Maybe only indirectly an answer, but this is how I feel:

When we hear things that are clearly nonsensical or irrational [i.e. that exporting countries pay tariffs], how are we supposed to react? What are the things we can do to secure our micro-economy when the macro-economic world has gone crazy?

100% : this is for "extra" money not "i am still underwater and failing to survive because the minimum wage doesn't meet the cost to stay alive"

The number one financial advice you can give (as an older/more experienced adult) to a young adult new in the workforce:

- If you ever get a raise, take 100% of the raise and put it in savings. 401k/RRSP/whatever your country has: live off the salary to which you have already adapted.

It's important to note, @georgetakei.bsky.social, that it is not a pause, but rather a reduction of the initially proposed rates to a baseline 10%, which, on average, is 3-4x their previous values.

I don't think anyone should get credit for a "pause" when they have increased a tax rate by 300%.

I have seen this SO MANY TIMES over the years, and AFAICT you can't do anything about it because the metadata is prepared not by Apple but by the group that uploads the media in the first place :(

"their cancel culture"?

I can 100% assure you that "the Youths" are not the ones who invented or own "cancel culture".

OMG IT IS SO ANNOYING

I don't know why apps do this. Why add to your QA load by calling a library to display external content in a sub-par way?

In the google apps on iOS, it even adds a step: first it asks you which browser to use THEN it opens the in-app version of that browser.... WTF?)

I believe that Trump doesn't care either way about Ukraine, but rather that he sees Ukraine as weak and Russia as strong and he only likes strength.

But what Russia signed (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...) is clear and the implication is that Trump doesn't consider past treaties binding at all :(

(as a Canadian now living in the US I didn't have to go through this)

Does this all go back to the low flow toilet thing and how they actually pulled all the "toilets that work" off the shelves 25 years ago and you could only get "toilets that you have to flush 5 times to get it to work properly"?
