Emails, emails, emails …
Just so you know, I’m a Mac fan, and user.
And get emails from them: mostly receipts, but also from the Communities, one of Apple’s help section.
As you may know, with the recent update to macOS, the Mac’s operating system, Apple dumped the iTunes app.
And replaced it with a Music, TV and Podcast app.
Personally? I think have basically stripped the old iTunes apps of its Movie, TV and Podcast functions: and filled the gaps with re-worked versions of relevant AppleTV apps.
Ones that aren quite as functional as the iTunes app functions they replace.
I’m not happy.
The emails?
Are from one post I’m following: that tells us that many others are also unhappy about the changes.
I’m not surprised.
Right now?
I can only hope Apple are paying attention to posts like that: and are planning improvements for either Catalina 10.15.2 … or whatever replaces Catalina.

Just as an extra though?
I’m very aware that BBC America’s doing a series based on Sir Terry Pratchett’s Nightwatch/Discworld novels.
I have my issues with some of the casting.
They’ve cast Lara Rossi as Lady Sybil: which has got my goat. I’ve no issues with her ethnicity: although I’m aware I won’t come off looking good, by mentioning it.
I’ve no issue with her ethnicity: but her build.
Sybil’s supposed to be built like (say) me, Miranda Hart or Rusty Lee. Quite … sturdy … in other words. Lara Rossi’s very slim. Ellen Thomas would be better options, I feel.
Then there’s Sam Vimes (Richard Dormer) and John Keel (Hakeem Kae-Kazim).
I’ve no issue with the ethnicity … but the fact that characters are supposed to vaguely resemble each other.
Which they clearly don’t.
I’d have the same issue if the pair had been cast as the other character.
They’ve ALSO cast Anna Chancellor as Lord Vetinari.
You can see the issue, there.
Frankly?
I’m planning on going no-where near this travesty.
