Sorry, #Apple. You got your X hundred dollars. You are not getting any more.
Looking forward to retiring this tablet and closing my AppleID account. -

I don't know where I found this link, but it's important news: #Apple's main #CUPS repository (on #GitHub) has very few commits since the main dev left late last year. There's a new CUPS fork at OpenPrinting.org

Sponsored by #Apple, so its priorities may change if Apple's do. https://www.foundationdb.org/ #FoundationDB -

Their comment is important enough that everyone should be exposed to it: 'And yes, Apple is all about "nobody violates our users' privacy except us!" '

16 data-collection APIs that #Apple kept out of #Safari ( see also

TikTok caught spying on #Apple #iOS users, banned in #India, under investigation in #USA and #Australia, now even #Anonymous seems to be warning against it. -

For example, here’s a 2018 article: https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-mac-computers-may-use-its-own-chips-replacing-intel-in-2020/ [www cnet com]

#Apple's #Safari browser now deletes site data after 7 days of non-use. Off-hand, it sounds like a good thing, but Aral say it isn't. -

Well, Tim, are you ready to concede that patents are currently doing more harm than good? I'm sure the anti-patent and patent-reform camps would be glad to have your company helping promote their causes. -
