A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

just so this doesn't overwhelm our front page too much, i think now's a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let's try to keep what's happening in this thread instead of across 10.

developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also--here's their latest coverage (h/t @dirtmayor@beehaw.org):

I wonder how much backtracking will be done. Are they going to listen to the concerns of the community or are they going to double down on their decisions?

[–] DaEagle@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My guess - zero backtracking

From how the AMA went, it sure seems that way. Funny how they just agreed to fuck over Apollo, but are working with the other apps, especially after blatantly lying about the situation. What a mess.

Spez was likely pissy that Christian called him on his bullshit and had all the receipts to prove it.

[–] ZapBeebz@beehaw.org 14 points 1 year ago

I'll bet spez isn't too happy about Apollo featuring in the Apple WWDC rather than the official app, either

Thin skin and the inability to admit that you’re wrong aren’t great qualities to have in a CEO…

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

And yet most CEOs have precisely those narcissistic tendencies

[–] roi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Fair point.

[–] Nilesse@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

They say they are working with other apps but there were other devs posting that they've been trying to reach out but not getting any answers. The ball is being dropped on so many aspects.

[–] mortuum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They will only work with apps that are "non-commercial", AKA free labour. There's no way an app survives without some kind of monetisation. It's just a money sink then. It's honestly incredible how shitty they're being.

[–] XLRV@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah, in their answers, they didn't show any will to compromise.
