Could I switch away from Apple? Sure, I could ditch my iPhone and buy another phone, and I could ditch my Mac and buy a laptop with Linux, I guess. But the only thing I’d be accomplishing is to make life easier for myself, and I’d also stop using software developed by those developers I care about. And also, nobody would care. Because nobody should. Tools are tools; they either do the job you need them to do or they don’t. And the sad reality of this world we live in is that most big companies out there are awful. If you spend some time digging, you’ll find despicable things done by probably 99% of CEOs of big companies.
At the same time, though, whether people care or not about tech companies, they end up purchasing their products, and perpetuate a vicious circle at the macro level: these companies remain in business, thrive, and grow. And keep being bad actors. That’s why I’m always glad when there’s governmental regulation aimed at protecting the citizens and customers. But that’s not enough.
Many people want to do a better job monitoring their diet and eating habits, but don’t exactly know where to start. Nunch is a fantastic new app to make the process a lot more seamless.
A big part of Notion’s appeal is its versatility. It’s like Google Docs, Trello, Wikipedia, and Apple Notes, all rolled into one app–with a dash of artificial intelligence on top. You can use it in a host of different ways, for everything from grocery lists to project management, and you get all the basics for free as an individual user.
The EU’s preliminary findings had flagged that Corning may have abused its dominant position by locking OEMs and glass processing companies into exclusive or near-exclusive supply arrangements, unfairly shutting out competing glass manufacturers.
However, while Corning does supply Apple with specialty cover glass, the Commission found that those particular products fell outside the scope of the investigation, “as these have special compositions and are only used by Apple.”
Good art often comes from bad people. Because people are bad.
And don't get me started about companies and corporations full of people.
