Yep, is AppleScript Still don’t know how they get around auto send, iMessage required user input last time I tried this [Edit] Shortcuts still require user interaction, apparently mac does not, that's interesting

  I’m surprised you went to the trouble of creating an account on here just to post warmed over, 30 year old “Crapple” insults.

    Not an insult but a fact. You know when „someone is wrong on the Internet“…

    Where did you read a crapple insult in his comment?
    - ddtaylor 3y ago
      Comment is removed but my guess is that he's talking about the general very old flame war style stuff like "M$" and "Microshill" and "Crapple" etc. The "us vs them" mentality of computing.

        No, I read it as son as it got posted, before it was removed and there was nothing about "crapple" in it or anything objectively ofensive or that broke HN rules. The removed comment was basically along the lines of "when people say the word computer, they generally don't think of Apple" referring in this context to the fact that the app written by OP said it requires a "computer", giving the impression it's cross platform on all computers specifically, PCs which are still the majority marketshare in the computer space, yet it only works on macs, therefore it should be more specific about that restriction, which OP later corrected in the readme. That's why I asked, since it seemed like he brought up a fair point that got unnecessarily attacked by someone going off topic and attacking him with false accusations about some imaginary crapple joke, plus a mob flagging it for no reason, which made me disappointed to see on this community. Sometimes I feel like posts that are even remotely critical about Apple or Macs Apple on HN, get flagged and generally attacked in replies with hateful comments. I keep hoping people would be more objective and moderate here and less defensive about a favorite brand.

        I think there's just as much unreasonably anti-Apple activity on HN as there is pro-Apple -- if you think otherwise (in either direction), it's probably your bias showing.

        >I think there's just as much unreasonably anti-Apple activity on HN as there is pro-Appl No there isn't. Pro-Apple comments don't get downvote bombed and flagged for no reason as much as those anti-Apple. If you don't see this it's your bias showing. And what was "unreasonably anti-Apple" in that comment that it needed be flagged? By market share it's true, for most people saying "a computer" is gonna mean a PC, not just a Mac only.

        Since neither of us actually have any data to show, it's more reasonable to assume that the anti- and pro-Apple behavior is equal than that one is more common. To proclaim, lacking any actual data, that one is more common and that it just happens to be the one that matches up with your preconception, suggests confirmation bias. > And what was "unreasonably anti-Apple" in that comment that it needed be flagged? Please show me where I said that comment was unreasonably anti-Apple, or that it deserved to be flagged.

        I disagree. There are some people who are pretty knee deep in Apple ecosystems and sometimes they will complain about one piece of the system or even a specific component like the failing keyboard or a specific product decision like the notch. But, they're "dug in" and they can't "un-Apple" all their stuff. They spend extra to buy a product that has components they think has serious problems that is operated and ran by a company that they routinely participate in discussions about them doing things at bad faith like killing webapps. Also as someone who has done a few different product launches on HN you can tell instantly when you start getting metrics about page visits that HN skews extremely Apple. Your UA logs will be dominated by Safari and iOS agents as the hits come in from HN.

On iOS shortcuts you don’t need user interaction if you disable “show when run” on the shortcut.
