(Some might argue that was always the case, but having used all three major OSes and their software ecosystems for over 2 decades, I beg to differ.)

a man with a beard is talking about destroying the sith and not joining them Alt: Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars Episode 3 standing on the high ground above Anakin Skywalker, quoting from Jedi prophecy that he'd be "the one to destroy Sith, not join them".

Me going through the stages of grief of Apple's software turning into the same freemium slop as everything else..

@gruber.foo New "Creator Studio" variants of iWork apps not only have a non-monochrome icon to "advertise" the subscription, they gather analytics by default as well (no idea if that's compliant with GDPR/CCPA).

Really did not expect Apple to just follow the freemium playbook with their apps. 😕

I feel like a broken record saying "That's not how this works. That's not how _any_ of this works!" for the best part of the past 20 years with regards to all kinds of technology. And it doesn't work because we're working against PR departments that very much want people to believe in such "magic".

These dummies could have had a compliant corporate Dem with literal Uber lobbyists on her staff and instead they did school shootings and measles
