It’s so belligerent in its implementation.
Like, what the hell is this huge thing that looks like a disabled button in the middle of Finder, that repeats the current folder name?! 🤷
On the phone esp, the amount of white text on light-grey is terrible, wouldn’t pass accessibility testing.

Love this settings screen I just stumbled in to in the car.
“What setting is it on?”

The video from yesterday’s strike is horrific.

First time I’ve had one of these. Phone fired off a rather OTT alert so definitely couldn’t miss it.

Enjoying my morning coffee in my most contentious mug.
