Can't say this enough; Elon Musk's menace to democracy is intolerable. He's using the largest & most influential platform in the democratic world to stoke racial conflict and civil breakdown - in his own posts & what X promotes. Democracies can no longer ignore this.

Useful summary of Apple's latest plans for DMA for anyone in the App store. daringfireball.net/2024/01/a… Interesting too that Apple justifies their fees by saying their "tools tools create a lot of value for developers". They've clearer never looked at Play Store's tooling.

@askesure you cannot seriously be putting this increase down to inflation? From £386 > £599. Never made a claim in 20 years. Rude!

I had no idea that Apple device snobbery extended to colour of your incoming message turning from blue to green when in a group chat with non iOS users. In our house our kids simply berate us for chatting to them on Whatsapp (the oldies platform). ft.com/content/8a2e8442-449e…

Ouch. The consequences of having a money-printing machine called “Ads” that has kept growing relentlessly every year, hiding all other sins. (1) no mission, (2) no urgency, (3) delusions of exceptionalism, (4) mismanagement. medium.com/@pravse/the-maze-…
