Just like Windoze, macOS is not software any more, it has become a platform for rent seeking and money extraction. That shifts the priorities noticeably.

O brave new world of endless manipulation opportunities! Once we’ve trained a generation of humans to always do what their “AI” tells them, there will be no more disobedience.

How is this supposed to be interesting? It’s bots wasting resources posting meaningless slop using software with gaping security holes. It might be mildly entertaining, if you’re into that kind of stuff, before it gets old. I find the ri

The writing was on the wall with the Patriot Act. “When we say you’re a terrorist, you lose all rights and protections” is merely a gradual difference to what is happening now.

I miss Aperture dearly, too. It is a monument of a time when Apple still could do Software, instead of just Services that feel restrictive and patronizing. I cannot get myself to use that shitty Photos app and am still constantly on the l

The number of startups is no proof they’re doing anything useful. It only proves that the founders think they can make money with it.

> Documentation is the cheaper form of customer service. Thank you so much for saying this. Trying to convince anyone of the importance of documentation feels like an uphill battle. Glad to see that I'm not completely crazy.
