  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".

  3. 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”

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

    Exhibit; Apple Music on Tahoe.

  9. @aleen a spineless despicable man it pains me to say. Nevertheless true.

    For each man there comes a moment, when you stand up for what is right and what is true. He missed his moment. He's not just a regular guy. He's the CEO of one of the richest most successful companies of our age.

  11. 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!

  13. RE: loops.video/v/dZbimkqcbd

    This is the moment that history books will pick to illustrate the obsequious, submissive, grovelling behaviour of our era once its over. #TimApple

    When history calls on you to stand straight and do the right thing, its not always easy. But being rich beyond comprehension and the manager of the most highly valued company in the world could potentially help a little bit.

    All it takes is for good men to do nothing.

  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!

  17. Someone should ask Tim Apple how he thinks Steve Jobs would react to him giving Trump some stupid Apple trophy and kissing his ass

  25. We shape the world we live in. We are not powerless. What we do in this life matters. That goes for multi billion companies and their CEOs too. Food for thought #TimApple

  26. Men det är inte lätt. Android sitter i Googles grepp. Samsung är ett skitföretag. Telefonerna tillverkas delvis eller helt i Kina. Amerikansk teknik krävs i telefonerna även om de inte tillverkas där.
    Men det blir i så fall byte av princip. #timapple #apple #timcook #samsung #google

  28. Nu har ryggradslösa tech-vd:ar suttit och slickat Trump i röven under en middag i Vita huset. Bland dem Tim Cook.
    Snart blir det en androidtelefon.

  30. Do you want to cover some apple logos after witnessing #TimApple #TimCook being as disgusting a billionaire as all the others?
    learnlinuxtv-shop.fourthwall.c
    After more than 30 years of being a loyal apple customer I will phase out all apple computers in my work and private environment wherever financially possible. For sure I will not buy new apple Hardware any time soon. At least will I run linux on the remaining computers from the past.
    I have turned a blind eye to apple being the corporation that it is long enough now.
    I hope people around Tim tell him what a massive damage he inflicted on the brand of what was once a highly appreciated brand with dignity and at least neutrality if not even a liberal attitude towards human rights.
    It is high time to #forceRetireTimCook

  31. 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?

  33. Let's see if " #TimApple " has an courage. Even just ignoring #Trump and continuing to build in #India would be a courageous decision

    I am not holding my breath...

    #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
