If you want to be that pedantic it does state "This site is satire. Not affiliated with Apple Inc. The bugs are real. The math is not. All estimates are made up. Your frustration, however, is valid." at the bottom.
- refulgentis 9mo agoThe bugs are not real (inter alia, Mail app search does, in fact, work). Your being pedantic is my being reality-based.

- zapzupnz 9mo agoAll of the things on this website have affected my experience of macOS and iOS for a long, long time. I definitely go straight to the Gmail website when I need to search for anything on my work account. Yes, I've got it set up to cache all the emails locally indefinitely. Have done for years. Even did so when my workplace used Office 365 instead of Google. On Hacker News, of all websites, giving yourself the "Works on My Machine" badge is not a worthy contribution. It's dismissive of any experience other than your own.
- refulgentis 9mo agoHe had it down as Mail search never works at the time of my comment. Never. Don’t appreciate the drive by “that’s okay because it doesn’t work for me, btw, works for me is bad”. It’s fallacious. I’m not ignoring your lived experience. I’m calling out slop.
- zapzupnz 9mo agoAnd I'm calling out the unearned arrogance of somebody who doesn't understand what hyperbole is, a fairly basic rhetorical device.
- refulgentis 9mo agoWhat arrogance? Is hyperbole a literary device, or genre? What’s the difference between hyperbole and making stuff up? When is it okay to say it’s making stuff up, when it could just be hyperbole? How is “you said it works for you but I say doesn’t work for me, trumped!” calling out arrogance?
