isn't Apple supposed to be good at UI? remember when they had human interface guidelines that were all about consistency?i'm reading a story in the desktop Apple News app. i want to find a phrase i've read, so Command-f and start typing, like every other application.no. command-f puts me in the main search bar, so all of a sudden i'm out of my article and finding others with the phrase.apparently there is no in-article find in Apple News, just Command-f as "Search". it's too much to ask.

also, apparently Apple News won't let you print, not to hard copy, let alone PDF.it's just pre-enshittified.

@interfluidity I can screenshot though, that hasn't been blocked. I would bet the PDF/Hard Copy restriction is part of agreements with publishers.

@Transportist oh i'm sure. enshittification is motivated, malice not incompetence.yes, i've just resorted to a screenshot. of course i had to manually search The Atlantic's site to find a portable link rather than an Apple-News-proprietary link.https://zirk.us/@interfluidity/112594664364951001

@interfluidity Trying Apple News for the first time to see how bad this is and after cmd-f takes me to search there's no apparent way to get back to the article I was just reading... oh a navigation history, but it doesn't remember my place... Is there any way to search the text of an article? Apparently I can select all and paste it into VIM or I'm out of luck. OK. Amazing product!

@interfluidity I guess being apple does not necessitate behaving like apple did 20 years ago...
