Do a deep trace and you’ll see that all of Apples off shore data centres are Alphabet owned. There’s encryption but Apple is just renting from the least privacy focused company. Also Apples privacy is really not much more than marketing. All you need is a CEO change or hey how about the current one embracing nazism casually from his own wallet?

Low cost is the only argument here, but once you go NAS + VPN you never go back.

You make a good point. I should really unsubscribe from all US content.

MKBHD, Linus, Most of the tech reviewing kids who got money and then hired an entire staff and in lots of cases also bought up really good solo YouTubers.

Motherfcking Casey Neistat. He was never an amazing person, his exploitation of his wife’s ass in thumbnails and being comfortable with click bait titles always felt off. But he’s a masterful propagandist and videographer until I saw him waving Israeli flags at pro Palestine protests during a filmed documentary.

I’ve seen you trolling on Lemmy a few times now. Are you going to keep offloading your own issues on the community or be bold and brave and get some therapy?

So Jeff Bezos does write some articles himself still!

If the Germans get wind of this, those plagiarism charges will most certainly nail them to the cross.

John Scully is aging rapidly to live up to his surname.

But he’s wrong. openAI is not a competitor, Apple has just milked the steve era for the max it can, and now with cooks retirement, Apple will slide back in between the others.

No more innovation to be done, just like at CocaCola and PepsiCo. Maybe that’s the part he’s recognising.

Report ice agents in Apple Maps. Flood their staffed resources.

Stop buying their products. Unsubscribe from services.

While I agree with your point, part of the genocide war strategy was to turn off the water.

I’m sure there’s a betting app that’s legal to download for minors on the Apple App Store where you can’t report ICE raids anymore.

Late stage capitalism at its finest.

ios the one before everything turned liquid. It’s actually worse. The audio keeps playing even after force quit of the app. The audio kind of sets itself up as it’s own player on the OS level.

I’ve always thought this was intentional to reduce the mod load, to force people to think twice

Yes and the 15.x choice will automatically divert to 26 if you don’t take extra steps. See my other comment. Sorry I didn’t explain it very well in the OP

The fact they try to bypass user consent is reaching?

Or the fact that Tim Cook’s only innovation in the last year is sucking up to fascism?

I’m not sure how to explain it better.

I want to update (the progression of going up a minor version in the software business. E.g.: 15.6.1 to 15.7).

When a MacOS user tries to do that, Apple tricks them into upgrading (the term for going up major version. E.g. 15.6.1 > 16.0), which pushes people into Liquid Glass, while they explicitly tried to steer away from it by choosing to update, not upgrade.

That’s what this PSA is about. Does that make sense?

This is about the misleading “Update Now” button being an actual upgrade button unless you click the (i) first and uncheck the Tahoe upgrade.

You sound like someone who wanted to upgrade. If you don’t want to Apple tricks the hasty clickers into accidentally upgrading and has done this for years, except this time you are forced a GUI change that is still pretty beta and not for everybody, so actually getting the user’s consent matters more.

So in other words, the non-existent problem they tried to fix it still not fully fixed. The gold bar donation to the dictator, the lying under oath in court, the screw up at Apple Intelligence, not to mention the mountain of bugs they could’ve fixed first. I really wish there was a better alternative for Apple.

Hopefully his next announcement will be from the Dark House in the Doughnut Office from behind the Whimsical Desk.
