@daringfireball@mastodon.social that Apple is willingly embarking on this enshittification is just mind blowing. They don’t need to do this. They don’t need this revenue. Google having no taste or respect for its users, I get, that’s their business model. But this is at odds with Apple’s business model of delighting the actual customer.

@daringfireball@mastodon.social you’re so close, man. Tim Cook is a moral failure. that’s the conclusion. and because that’s what he is, he’s leading Apple that way too, into moral failure. That matters. His day of “not caring about the bloody ROI” is long behind him, now it seems ensuring better profits by appeasement matters *more* than the unjust suffering of his countrymen. That’s the conclusion.

@daringfireball@mastodon.social you’re way into quality apps, but also intrigued by “vibe coding” (factory farming software). ponder this on the Tree of Woe

@mrpommer@mastodon.social @daringfireball@mastodon.social @gruber@mastodon.social the highest paid people in the industry, somehow

@FlohEinstein@chaos.social @marcus@bearologics.social also for the average Apple customer: will they ever swap out RAM or storage? Big nope. The benefits of an integrated SoC are numerous and outweighs DIY tinkering for majority of their customers.

@joemcken @shellsharks @mmasnick more billionaire-owned platforms is worth nagging about

@dmitriid@mastodon.nu @daringfireball@mastodon.social how many thriving ebook stores exist on Android?

@dmitriid@mastodon.nu @daringfireball@mastodon.social ok so just more nonsensical bleating on your part, got it. (you’re the dingdong who specifically cited iOS, not me) do you ever get tired of being such a jackass?

@dmitriid@mastodon.nu @daringfireball@mastodon.social no.

@daringfireball@mastodon.social well that’s a good reason to jack up energy costs for everyone due to these stupid data centers to support stupid billionaire-owned LLM companies. bust out the pom-poms and let me here that cheer

@daringfireball@mastodon.social he had me until: “My friend Ezra Klein” …gross.
