@dennyhenke I absolutely agree that we need to crack down on the excesses and behavior of BigTech. The move fast and break things then ask for forgiveness later garbage was always wrong and should have been stopped long ago. Silicon Valley has changed since I got involved with it quite a while ago, so much so, that I no longer want anything to do with Silicon Valley and big tech, in general, work wise.

Hopefully, the EU and Canada can lead the way to viable open source alternatives to Microsoft, Facebook, social media and the like. I’d like to see the US and state governments drop MS for #LibreOffice, for example. That move would make it easier for a wider public shift.

I have to say that I’m a big Apple products fan. That’s why I’m so disappointed with Tim Cook. Maybe there are other things going on within Apple as you say of which I’m not aware. That would not be good either.

@dennyhenke cursorily related: I watched a good friend react in real time to her iPhone updating to whatever version of iOS includes liquid glass at lunch yesterday. She happens to be a designer, and a long-time Apple user.

I have never seen her face so squished, confused, and disappointed.

(And I totally agree with you about the unfathomably deep problems with big tech. And I find it so bizarre when people somehow think Apple somehow exists outside of those problems.)
