Gotta protect that illegal, anticompetitive trust at all costs.

Die apple. All your innovation and vision died with Steve Jobs, now you're a shambling corpse infecting everything you touch. Just die, it's time...

Steve Jobs was an old quack business man. he didn't invent shit.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sure, he wasn't an engineer, so no, Jobs never personally "invented" anything. But Jobs at least knew what was good and what was shit when he saw it. Under Tim Cook, Apple just keeps putting out shitty unimaginative products, Cook is allowing Apple to stagnate, a dangerous thing to do when they have under 10% market share.

Apple’s ARM SoC’s were some of their best work yet in my view.

Yep crApple is the one pushing for the shorter SSL certificate length too. Their just adding headaches to everyone's lives for no good reason.

[–] NotProLemmy@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Shorter SSL certificate length means more security

Even Mozilla's pushing it

[–] Netrunner@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah and having a 512 character password is more secure than 52.

This isn't some big exploit vector they're fixing, they're trying to make it more annoying to automate a IoT stack without the cloud.

Do you have a link to an explanation of this? I am curious to learn more

[–] oppy1984@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago

I'm going on what I heard from Security Now but it is my understanding that apple was the only one pushing for this and the others just voted to approve even though apple was never able to present a convincing argument for why it needed to be shortened.

However, this U.S. court order is inconsistent with the Apple App Store business standards

This is terrible writing. The court order is inconsistent with the Apple App Store business standards? No. The court ruled that Apple's business practices were illegal.

USA's press has a corporate bias, because you know, we need to care about the corporations, as if they had feelings, and not the exploitive entities that they are.

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

This doesn't seem to be the mainstream press, but a small tech blog. Mainstream American news outlets have been far more straightforward in their coverage of this case.

Furthermore, this case was a fight between two large corporations; there's no little guy here. Smaller developers may benefit from the outcome though.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago

I will never support Apple because of their anti-consuner practices.

The sissy billionaire slap fight continues.
