Having your cake and eating it too? NIMBYism?

If anything it reeks of privilege. It says that it's okay to spread slop on the world at large, just so long as it doesn't soil the precious orange website.

That doesn't mean that they aren't still constantly making it worse.

Apple themselves note that most of the new features in the OS are "design" and "apple intelligence". I really don't care for these features, so I don't really care to upgrade. Even on the Tahoe page, they note many of the features as updates to individual apps themselves, so why can't they just release those as individual app updates?

I'd rather have a solid OS with a UI that isn't re-imagined every other year with more focus on usability improvements and bug fixes. And as you note, it is one of the most solid UNIX™ desktop OS'.

So when Apple puts out a major update that I think is going in the wrong direction, how else should I signal my distaste? I sent feedback. I posted on their customer forums (which are a terrible place for discussion btw). Now I just want to not update, but they use dark patterns to try to force it on me. So I'm going to be more annoying and vocal about it because I think they can and should do better.

Citation needed!

Maybe Sysco sucks and it's easy for the union to point out the same things about it? It seems pretty cut and dry that consolidation in many industries results in mediocre at best outcomes.

All of this for what? Shareholder value? So Silicon Valley elites can get rich and force their shit ideas on everyone?

If you don't see this for what it is, and that is just pure rot of the major services that people use and rely on for their information needs, then you might be beyond helping. Everyone should be pissed that this is what the internet has become.

I for one hate how even the 17 pro is creeping up in size compared to the 15 pro.

And the response from most major press seems to be a simple shrug?

What happened to holding people in power accountable?

Note to the author, put this up front, so I know that you did the bare minimum and I can safely ignore this article for the slop it is.

I understand the idea behind the threshold for changing rules but this still feels very broken. There is a constant struggle of having to do everything perfectly to make any positive progress, but bad actors can operate however they like with seemingly little repercussions.

It reads like articles put out by consultants at the height of SOA. Someone thought for a few minutes about something and figured it was worth an article.
