The fact that this app exists is an early warning of what I said for some months now: atomic subscriptions are an unsustainable business model. https://t.co/JzMRRHub1z

Of all #AI applications, I find mass surveillance and synthetic media the most interesting and with the biggest implications. Here’s a fascinating article about the latter. >

@jhpot As exceptional as @busymac BusyCal is, I find the daily nag absolutely intolerable if I decide to only keep the Perpetual license and not renew the Update license.

If the product is mine forever, as the FAQ says, why do you feel appropriate to disrupt my workflow like this? https://t.co/C35ZfXBLJg

And expanding on this topic, there’s an eye-opening 2019 report from @washingtonpost about how smart TVs record every second of what we watch: https://t.co/DpzCaQjnwI

I’m glad @mozilla is calling this out: https://t.co/NQ78wqLRFy

“One of the researchers working on this guide said, “It had such a scary privacy policy, I didn’t even connect it to my TV.” Another researcher referred to Roku as a “privacy nightmare.”

“The decision which product to work on stems from the odds of getting promoted” < It happens in plenty of other big orgs. https://t.co/Loc1WGmSgc

New services are SaaS only. Old services are being rethought to be online, too. APIs are commonplace. On paper, everything can connect with everything. Result: like a phoenix, middleware is reborn again.

(just don’t call it in that way)
