“…not worthy of your love.”

Uncategorized Jan 17, 2024

Brent has a post today similar in spirit to my own but much more eloquently written. Just like the sixth finger in an AI-rendered hand, Apple’s policies for Distributing apps in the U.S. that provide an external purchase link are startlingly graceless and a jarring, but not surprising, reminder that Apple is not a real person and not worthy of your love….

Modern-day Apple

Uncategorized Jan 16, 2024

I don’t have anything to say about Apple’s new guidelines for external purchase links on the App Store that smarter people than me aren’t already saying. It’s exactly what we all knew Apple would do.
