I never used to get spam in my gmail inbox but these days there's some slipping through. Just another small sign of cracks forming.

As insurance / financial people they're accustomed to seeing things from that perspective - society as a financial machine. They're describing what they are seeing in their area of expertise and (sensibly!) staying out of areas where they don't have expertise.

IMO poor security is more about a lack of eyes on the code. Projects that have a single developer and a lower user-base will be pretty easy money.

I can't wait to find out which project has the most security holes 🔥

Any guesses?

My favorite climate consensus roll-eyes is how all the graphs always stop at 2100. As if the heating will just stop at that point and we won't be looking at 6 degrees of warming by 2150. And 8 by 2200.

CO2 stays in the atmosphere for at least 500 years. There's no getting off this train.

Bug Report: Missing AppleScript Introduction on First Login

Summary

After logging in for the first time, users do not receive any introduction or guidance on using AppleScript. As a result, one of macOS’s most powerful automation features remains hidden and underutilized.

Steps to Reproduce

Set up a new macOS device or create a new user account.

Complete the initial macOS setup process.

Log in for the first time.

Observe the lack of any AppleScript introduction or onboarding.

Expected Behavior

After logging in for the first time, the user should be presented with an introduction to AppleScript, including a brief explanation of its capabilities and an option to open the Script Editor with example scripts.

Actual Behavior

No introduction, tutorial, or prompt related to AppleScript is displayed. Users remain unaware of its presence unless they actively seek it out.

Environment

macOS Version: All

Device Model: All

User Type: First-time user (new account or fresh macOS installation)

Reproducibility: 100% (occurs on all tested machines)

Additional Information

AppleScript is a core feature of macOS but is not surfaced to users who may benefit from it.

Other macOS features, such as Shortcuts, receive more prominent onboarding.

A simple onboarding dialog or notification could greatly improve discovery and adoption of AppleScript.

Suggested Fix

Introduce a brief AppleScript onboarding experience upon first login, possibly including:

A welcome screen explaining what AppleScript is.

A button to open the Script Editor with example scripts.

A link to documentation or tutorials.

Whatever they were thinking, death threats are waaay over the top.

But that account should have been deleted before he even became a candidate. Really unprofessional.
