There is simply no trust for smart home devices.  No thanks.

They should goto a mobile web app and give Apple nothing.

Twitter has proven amazingly resilient in the face of its malignant owner. I almost never go there anymore but clearly plenty of people do. My hope is that everyone who isn’t a musk fan will leave, but I’m afraid that hope might never be realized .

The vast majority of Twitter accounts these days are for business, which includes influencers and other self promoters. Between those and bot accounts to pad numbers/harvest data, there isn't much genuine human interest in the platform.

Bless your heart.  https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/technology/maye-musk-is-a-proud-mom-as-sons-x-platform-scores-a-win-over-mark-zuckerbergs-instagram-and-facebook-elon-musk-says-there-is-still-limited-understanding/ar-BB1qZYOu

This is mostly Apple's fault for incredible greed and control.  If they adopted their own security-app model for macOS for iPadOS/iPhone OS, aka normal app loading going back decades, the entire issue would go away.  Bring normal app loading to the iPhone Apple.  Consumers wanted larger screens and multiple carriers.  Apple had to deliver or lose marketshare.  This consumer, and millions of other consumers, wants application freedom for his iPhone and iPad.  I want normal Firefox.  I want an uncrippled file system.  It is in your interest to Apple.  The reason the iPad sales are in a slump is lack of freedom.  You cannot use an iPad to do much useful when iPadOS restricts everything.  You end up with a powerful M4 SoC totally crippled so people go buy Macs or Windows machines, mostly Windows machines.  The public actually prefers slower more power hungry Intel chips to fast low powered Apple Silicon because Windows gives them the freedom to do what they want and iPadOS doesn't.  It is time for change Apple.  Steve Jobs knew when it was time to change.  Does Tim Cook?

Apple threw in its lot with the ruling class in 2017.  It abandoned its traditional liberal values that Jobs talked about in favor of state censorship.  Now that same ruling class is trying to exact an even greater pound of flesh from Apple.  Evil always eats its own.
