Apple fans who got mad at Tim Cook for watching "Melania" missed the thread. He watched the movie, he didn't bankroll it. That was another schmuck.

@flargh@mastodon.social Bezos has been Bezos for years. Tim Cook has only been Bezos-esque for a few quarters.

@macosken@mastodon.social Reminder: This motherfucker came up through the supply line chain of the company that made it possible for Hitler to do the dirty shit he did. #ibm
Started in # radio 30+ years ago, which transitioned to # podcast 20+ years ago. “Mac OS Ken” focuses on Apple news. Used to do a show - “The Checklist” focused on security. And another about # StarTrek . These days, all I REALLY want to talk about are # bookbinding , # fountainpens , # printmaking , and # stationery . Well… and # VR . And # AR . And # Apple and # podcasting and radio. The image at the top is a collection of fountain pens on display. The icon is an electronics diagram of a resistor.

@flargh@mastodon.social I think Tim Cook's legacy is... well cooked at this point. Whether we should have bought it or not, he sort of traded on being a guy who cared about decency. What I meant about how long Bezos was Bezos versus Cook being Bezos was give us a fucking minute to deal with the fact that, while he may have a spine, he doesn't use it to stand for what we thought he would.
Call us fools for believing in the image if you like, but it's gonna take time to get over.
