What Apple is doing is terrible and it is hilarious.
It's hilarious because they could act in good faith, but they don't. It's funny to watch them do this, because it is so wildly out of touch with the image they continue to project. It's funny because they repeatedly do these sorts of things, so much that it is now predictable.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoIt's not hilarious at all. It is a crucial sign that the consumer tech industry is allowing itself to behave in a way that is malignant, because the company inarguably at the top of it -- which has, for clarity, always been arrogant, indignant, entitled, and pushy -- is now engaging in a kind of tech troll conduct, the absence of which people used to sincerely use to differentiate it from e.g. Uber and Google. This is a sign of insecurity in what is arguably a bear market and it bodes poorly for a lot of us, I think.
