This piece has been coming for a while, in one form or another. Makes me deeply unhappy to write it. https://mattgemmell.scot/the-fallen-apple/
The Fallen Apple — Matt Gemmell

I barely recognise the company I used to have such admiration for.

@mattgemmell Totally agree. I used only apple hardware from 2010 and now I use the last piece I will ever buy - m4 macbook pro with utter disgust as it continually prompts me to upgrade the OS (no i dont want liquid glass) and randomly starts playing outloud when I put my earbuds back in the case because I had the audacity to not use airpods.

Its taken me literal years to switch from all of apples services for photos, messages, notes, drive but I am out now and I will never, ever, return.

@implementcontrols Did you find a good replacement for photos, if you use it like we do (family sharing etc)?
