Why is it when Apple does this nearly every year right on schedule, they're lauded as stewards of progress?
- warning26 3y agoThe Twitter API changes seem to have no real reasoning behind them whatsoever, except "well maybe we could squeeze more money out of the developers", which isn't likely to result in sympathetic attitudes. In contrast, one could argue that Apple's API changes are generally intended to achieve some actual purpose (refactoring, better security, etc.) Of course, whether or not they succeed at that is a separate debate entirely.

What's happening at Twitter benefits nobody including the person who's giving the orders. It's completely inscrutable.
