"What if the exhaustion everybody feels isn't a moral failure but the completely rational response to being made responsible for an ecosystem of objects that never stop asking?"

If you somehow still considered uploading your face/ID to Discord, here's one more reason not to: Peter Thiel seems to be the lead investor in the service that implements the age check. And, oh, the service page says they will store our data on their side (at least for a little while).
OK so iCandy got approved for TestFlight so

Tim Cook sold Apple's soul
https://www.loopwerk.io/articles/2026/tim-cook-sold-apples-soul/
Apple used to stand for something. Now Tim Cook gifts golden statues to Trump, removes apps at the administration's request, and cozies up to accused rapists at White House screenings. The company I once admired has become morally bankrupt, but leaving the ecosystem feels almost impossible.
RE: https://toad.social/@KimPerales/115956833482668960
“Apple’s Tim Cook is among a group of CEOs being eviscerated for traveling to the White House on the same day Border Patrol agents killed a Veterans Affairs nurse in Minneapolis.
"Cook, who gifted President Donald Trump a 24-karat gold desk ornament on his last White House visit, returned on Saturday to attend a dinner and screening of the first lady’s new documentary, ‘Melania.’”
When we look back on his leadership in the future, let this be Tim Cook's legacy.
“An insane encapsulation:🚨”The same day Trump’s agents kill a VA ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple & Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser *was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files.”
-P Thakker
“If you’re a CEO🚨willing to sit in the co of this regime, your “shareholder value” excuse feels pretty🩸blood-soaked tonight.”
