  1. Tim Apple's retirement announcement reminded me of a saying that is more relevant now than ever.

    If you don't stand up for your principles, you don't have principles - you have "thoughts & prayers".

  6. The Register says it like it is 🔥

    “But his awkward delivery and forced enthusiasm during Apple's increasingly rote stage demos was painful to watch”

  7. iPhone Fold and Smart Glasses. Two products I have absolutely no interest in.

  8. Oh, this is #fun.

    #Applebot - Apple's web crawler, used for various things - is ignoring robots.txt rules governing crawling of websites.

    I have Applebot (and Applebot-Extended, which isn't really a crawler) in my robots.txt files, set to disallow all access. Has been that way for #yonks.

    And Applebot is consistently the highest-traffic crawler to my sites - at least of ones that actually bother to fetch robots.txt. Yesterday, for example, Applebot fetched robots.txt from one of my websites almost 800 times.

    Yes, it's really Apple, not someone faking the user-agent identifier. It's coming from the networks that Apple says can be used to identify Applebot access. DNS matches, everything.
    e.g. support.apple.com/en-ca/119829

    So: legendary Apple software quality. Documented to do the right thing, but actually doing the wrong thing. And completely failing to cache content, fetching the same file 800 times a day when it hasn't changed in years.

    Hey, Apple! Need a software engineer who's actually, you know, good at it? I'm available.

  13. Users don't care about software quality or «[…] the qualities that software exposes on the outside are largely independent of its inner workings» and other lies developers tell themselves.

  14. RE: mastodon.social/@gedeonm/11621

    I am celebrating too:

    My first year, without buying any Hardware (Mac, iOS Device, Watch, HomePod or Display) from Apple.

    Here's to the crazy ones!

  15. If you needed any more reasons to think about switching away from #apple and #boycottusa then some poorly written app slop might be just the ticket!

  16. @tagesschau Eine Woche keine dieser #Kriegsverbrechen gegen die #Zivilbevölkerung. Das bringt Donnie bestimmt wieder irgend einen Friedenspreis. Vielleicht stiftet ihn diesmal #TimApple . #UkraineWar

  17. +++ BREAKING NEWS +++ Tim Apple today unveiled a new logo for Apple Inc. The company also announced that it will now focus entirely on developing state-of-the-art database software for the upcoming DOHS census. +++ BREAKING NEWS +++

  18. @CultureDesk @Variety yes, its fine 👍 I realise I'm a lonely fanatic.

    But I can't bring myself to support Google and Apple after what's happened over the last year. #timapple

  19. I started computing on #Apple computers in the 90s, and was a huge #mac fan for over a decade. #timcook lost me long before his wormy 'time to deescalate' memo and even before he allowed CSAM to continue being spread daily via the #appstore

    I was one foot out the door already because the #iPhone experience for me has gone rapidly downhill the last couple years, but I'd like to thank #timapple for helping me all the way out of their ecosystem.

    Thanks again for the nudge, Oligarch Tim

  20. Apple CEO Tim Cook's response to the events in Minneapolis, Minnesota:

    "Good Mourning!"

  21. The Orange Regime's first inauguration was notoriously corrupt. Millions of $$$ just disappeared.

    Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden did literally NOTHING to investigate, indict, or punish any of the criminals involved.

    Is it any wonder that CEOs are now happily sending in $1 Million each for the new Orange Corruption Fest?

  22. Regarding Apple's new "outness" in its fandom for fascism...

    When Tim Apple gave Trump the gold and glass statue, did he remember to tell Donnie he was holding it wrong?

  23. Hi, Tim Apple, Chris here. A guy that's embarrassed to say really liked your company for a long time. Tim, can you tell me how your products will be improved now that you've bent the knee to the man in charge who is currently dismantling much of the bureaucratic state with a hacksaw?

  24. @lauren @wordshaper

    Apple ... being the saviour against predatory manufacturers in a monopolized market?

    That's like hiring Hannibal Lecter as your chef.

    Lauren's right, Apple is all about lock-in and profit-taking, and has been for decades. The tame Apple press and fanboys just whitewash this fact out of existence, and have been doing so for the same length of time.

    #ReplaceRepublicans

    before #America #USA ends up like #Russia, we must replace all Republicans because they want to change America into a Russia-like state, one where a weak, child-rapist, man-baby is used by the #oligarchy—piece-of-shit people like #LarryEllison #PeterThiel #MarkZuckerberg #TimApple #ElonMusk—to subjugate and dominate #ThePeople

    The People must reassert themselves to control the political realm as it is supposed to be
