Amidst Apple:
- Failing to deliver a competent browser
- Failing to apologise for a decade of said failure
- And failing to open up about roadmapsIt's natural to overlook the toll that Apple's senior management has taken on the rank and file. They can't apologise (policy), they can't tell you when something will be fixed (policy), and they subject their own people to uniquely challenging critique owing to uniquely anti-competitive corporate policy.
Shite management in shareholder service.

Watched a YT video today of someone building a new (electric) aerospace engine, and literally all of their CAD and FEA tools were on the web.
My mind was blown, and I'm basically ground zero for "this should exist"

And, like, I get it? Being able to mix/match is a benefit to WC, and things that reduce the efficacy of that benefit aren't great, but comparisons to the perfect (when the fallback works well) are, at best, performative. The comparison to the *alternative* is more on-point.
