There are many limitations with iPadOS, but that isn’t one of them. That issue was resolved years ago, and any remaining limitations are due to third-party developers not keeping up with evolving standards.

I hope Reddit does exactly that, the better to accelerate it’s destruction.

I go out of my way to limit my exposure to corporate-owned mainstream media outlets. I’ve come to rely more on progressive news sources and independent journalists who a) frame stories from a point of view I can relate to and b) have a soli

It’s possible to run a profitable company that treats its customers well. It’s not possible to do that when you accept VC money or take the company public. Big Apple fan here, but I’m under no delusion that Apple will always make great prod
