Facebook’s ability to target specific people was one of the major reasons Trump was able to target idiots with cynical messages that would appeal to them (which also weren’t true) in 2016. So in some ways, you could say that Facebook is in large part responsible for Covid spreading not just in the US but around the world. 

His apps don’t look remotely controversial. Hard to imagine a government or somebody demanding they be taken down. 

I wonder whether or not we’ll see Apple get back into the server business. Either way I think they’ll release a version of the Mac mini (hopefully with a silver option) that destroys Intel’s NUC line and allows early adopters to dip their toes in without ponying you for the expensive machines (like they did when they went Intel) then I suspect the MacBook line will follow, either with the Air or the Air and the Pro. Then the iMac, and then the Mac Pro and iMac Pro (assuming the iMac Pro continues to be a line.)

This looks great, and that Tomb Raider Demi in Rosetta? Wow. Can’t wait for these things to take off. Hopefully they do a beefy update to the mini soon after launch. 

I pay for the yearly subscription for Apple Music, currently have TV+ free. Sometimes I feel like I’d like News+ but most of it would be neo-liberal garbage. I’d like to have arcade but nothing pulled me in during my free trial. I have 200 gigs of iCloud.
