            So I just updated my phone to iOS 18.6.2 - now I have to wade through the usual setup stuff.

            Apple is so annoying: I do not want your effing Apple Pay. Nor do I want Face ID.

            Parenthetically, law enforcement can pin you down and open your phone via Face ID - without a warrant.

            Also Apple Intelligence - eff no. Or Siri.

            But there it is, "set up later". And there it will stay, a big red hemorrhoid on my Settings icon.

                                        It's amazing how big multi-billion dollar corporations can hide behind environmental concerns.

                                        Apple decided not to include a power adapter in the iPhone box a few years ago.

                                        It's only 58 grams of plastic with some metal. Sounds reasonable, yeah?

                                        Want to add RAM to your Macbook?
                                        - No, buy a new 2kg one.
                                        Want to expand your SSD?
                                        - Ok, buy a new 2kg one.
                                        Want to use your old iMac as a monitor for your Mac Mini?
                                        - Sure, buy a new 10kg one. Or a separate display. Or just throw your iMac away.

                                        What is it if not taking care of the money?

                                        It's so ridiculous to bring ecology here.

Developers usually followed up and most ended up being fixed. Quite a few, annoyingly, were closed as duplicates of other bugs I didn’t have access to, but at least that gave them a signal that multiple people saw the same bug.

                                                                  The last time I tried to file a macOS bug was painful. It required uploading a load of irrelevant things (you don’t need dumps of my system state for a bug that can be reproduced on a clean install). It also now comes with a privacy policy that I am totally unwilling to agree to.

                                                                  The rate at which I’ve found bugs in Apple products has increased in recent years (and a lot that I found years ago remain unfixed) but the number I have reported recently is zero.

                                                                  I don’t expect Apple to change, but hopefully other people can learn this lesson. If you break the feedback channel from your users, your product quality will deteriorate.

                                                                                                                                                    Guys, if for whatever reason you are still working with Windows (or Apple, Google...), I can only urge you to take the current circumstances as a reason to switch to Linux and free software! Never has such a switch been more appropriate and important!

                                                                                                                                                    The end of Windows 10, Microsoft's coercion towards MS accounts and cloud compulsion, all the advertising spam from MS within Windows 11, the artificial hardware requirements for it, the AI compulsion in Windows, the data exploitation including data sales and telemetry behavior, the integrated spyware, and so many other negative and bad things!

                                                                                                                                                    And on top of that, there are the current political developments in the fascist states of America. Uneducated idiot, fascist, anti-democrat and narcissist with a severe minority complex – and best friend of child molester Epstein – Trump is turning the country into a fascist dictatorship, and the big American tech companies are bowing to the convicted criminal, most recently Tim Apple– ready to hand over all the data he demands and install surveillance tools, and not even stopping at Europe and Europeans. Trump's hatred of Europe is well known, who knows what other brown shit will spill over the Atlantic to us.

                                                                                                                                                    That's why, dear people, and especially those outside the US (unfortunately, we can't help the good and decent people there, but they elected the brown problem in the White House themselves): Linux and free software now!
