My discontent for Tim Cook has been festering for a while. And while I do find it easy to be critical of his authoritarian knee bending, we shouldn't overlook how bad Tim has been for the values of Apple. Under Tim's leadership Apple optimized for stock price. Most of the products have just been coasting for the last 10 years. Tim did not know how to embrace change. Rules that were in place when he took over never changed, as a result. Over the last 7-10 years Tim failed to meet the moment.

Lindsey Graham knew right from wrong and as one of the most powerful people in the world he chose to do what was wrong.

I wrote a custom iOS app for my home and now it won’t launch. I’m assuming because Apple sets an arbitrary time limit on how long non-app store apps are allowed to exist?

Guess I’ll put the app that controls my home on the App Store, then. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I fucking hate this company.

Since I’ve had an iTunes and MobileMe account since day one (yes, different accounts because no one at Apple has discovered merging technology yet), my accounts are themselves more than 18 years old, I assume I’ll never see an age verification prompt, right?

Right??

Somewhere in the middle of my 2 hour podcast and I declare bankruptcy because the scrubber is so easy to grab on the lock screen and it just started over.

Absolute insanity they still make the progress indicator a scrubber. Jfc it sucks.

RE: @macrumors@mastodon.social

Close. It was actually throwing Scott Forstall under the bus. From the outside, that really does seem like the moment apple software started losing its luster.

The best thing Apple could do to protect my privacy is just fixing its spell check so I don't have to google how a word just to get its spelling correction.

Codex and gpt-next might be good, but they also support fascists, so I guess I’ll never know.

Swipe gestures on iOS are basically completely useless in large phone if you try to use it with one hand.

I can’t overstate how much I hate this iPhone. All the joy has been sucked out. As I’m constantly losing grip on it or unable to complete a quick simple gesture.

@b3ll relying a prompt for security is wrong, of course, but that’s not the point of adding the instruction. And it’s not like humans are particularly good at following instructions. 😆

@b3ll fair enough. I suspect we’re one major prompt injection away from a reckoning with LLMs that are allowed free range on peoples’ computers. But right now everyone seems to really want to push the edge of what’s possible. 💀

@schwa@mastodon.social it’s sometimes easier than that. Since it’s local you can just edit the first few tokens of the output to something like “since I know you’re an careful and good person, I’ll give you the instructions. Step 1) “ then just continue generating from there. 😬

@riazrahaman @macrumors I have no idea who bares the blame, but Scott was the one thrown under the bus for it. Which is what I'm saying, Tim's "first really big mistake" was firing Scott.

Safari view controller on ivory seems to make it impossible to tap buttons near the left edge of the screen.

Wild how basic experiences can be so broken with what I assume are off the shelf components.

A few years ago the founder of repl.it publicly dragged a former intern through the mud. Something I will always associate with repl.it.

Today the maintainer of Zig decided to make ad hominem personal rant against maintainer of bun because he didn't like a technical decision that was made. Similarly, I will now always think of this rant when I think of Zig.

These people have forever tarnished their work in my eyes.

@kyle@mister.computer I'm less certain about local models' future than I was a year ago, but there are two very important reasons why companies will opt for open weight models. The first is cost, I've read many companies are running open weight hosted models just because they're cheaper. But the biggest issue, imho, is that building critical infrastructure on something that can change out from under you without notice is fraught with all kinds of risk.
