I remember when I first got an #iPhone, I was amazed and I couldn't stop playing with it.
Now I stomp around the house, "where is my fucking worthless piece of shit iPhone, god damn thing. I should throw it in Lake Michigan.”
That's what has happened. We used to value technology. Now we revile it. Every day I wish for a full-blown #Carrington event. A earth-facing X105 flare. Wash this rock clean. Pop open a beer as all our garbage we've launched into orbit comes raining down. #Apple
Apple supporting creators all the way down, cinephile Tim Cook really knows how to read the room in dark times.

My #Apple Watch updated itself last night, and in the process, deleted almost all of my reminders. Just... gone.
Good job, Apple. Good job.

Here's a #hottake
If you are complaining about #Mozilla yet you are a happy Apple ecosystem user (macOS, iPhone, iCloud) etc. I don't think you have the morals to come out upset about their latest doings and its foundation direction.
Nothing bad (IMO) to use #Apple products, it just seems a bit, well, ironic.

Today, the @EUCommission opened a process under the #DMA to regulate how #Google handles #interoperability within #Android
The 
FSFE has been working intensively over the last two years to improve DMA interoperability against gatekeepers like #Apple and Google.
We will monitor how the Commission implements the interoperability rules further, ensuring DMA enforcement is Free Software-friendly.

Earlier, in June 2025, we took part in the workshop organised by the Commission on #Google's #DMA compliance, where we raised issues related to #interoperability.
In particular, similar problems #FreeSoftware developers are facing with #Apple, like discretionary power to deny interoperability, the lack of transparency, and anti-competitive practices.

There are a lot of areas where I can at least roll my eyes and ignore the brash injection of #AI functions into apps, but funnily enough the one that drives me totally up the wall is all the "suggested" responses – regardless of whether it's in slopfactories like #LinkedIn or in messaging apps that have moved from autocorrect to autosuggest to now auto-write-the-whole-thing. Fuck off. Leave me alone. Stop suggesting insultingly insipid bullshit for me to touch a button and send when I'm talking to my husband or my mother. Just get the fucking fuck off my screen and let me type my words in my style without breathlessly suggesting I can emotionlessly pretend to be engaged in an actual conversation.
Current ire is well and truly aimed at #Apple #Messages app.
Apple and Google recently announced their AI partnership, and we could get our first real look at the Gemini-powered Siri assistant as soon as February. @Techcrunch has more:
