Apple should absolutely remove the Infowars app from App Store. It makes no sense delist the podcast and still keep the app.
Apple, remove the app.
📰 I am so glad to support Pro Publica each month. This reporting is the kind of work I only dreamed of doing in college.
🇺🇸 Even if they don’t all win, this is what the future looks like. And it sure as hell doesn’t look like the Republican party.
🖕 Apple removing Alex Jones from its database is the first step (and one that was long overdue) in what I hope is a march towards removing his far-reaching soapbox.
His hate can spew from his hole like it did in days past: On a street corner with his pants around his ankles.
📚 I just finished The Heart’s Invisible Furies, by John Boyne. It was a lot of story.
Despite so much sadness, I give it my just-made-up-now rating of Recommend.
🎧 I just thoroughly cleaned out my AirPods and I think I have PTSD.
💻 Apple must realize not only is 5GB an embarrassingly small amount of storage to offer as its free tier, it’s also not enough for its customers to get fully invested into what it can do for them.
If Apple wants folks to see how important iCloud storage is, it needs to give them enough to really get into it.
Something like this would do it:
50GB: Free
200GB: $1.99
500GB: $3.99
1TB: $6.99
2TB; $9.99
As far as the 2TB level goes, which is a very good deal, all Apple has to do is convince families to share the iCloud Drive space and, before you know, there are a lot of people paying $10/month and being quite happy about it. Yes, spending Tim Cook’s money really is fun.
☢️ Wow, hell of a grift. And so many fell for it.
💻 Between age and better technology, I am finding it harder and harder to use my 11" MacBook Air. I think it’s the new way macOS Mojave renders fonts, but it is what is and my eyes are what they are.
It’s been my favorite Mac for five years now, but after using retina-quality screens on iPads and MacBook Pros, I just can’t read on these old screens any longer. It might be time to pass this down to the boy.
☢️ While it may bring some joy, as a whole, Facebook is detrimental to society.
📲 iOS 12 Public Beta is a little pokey on iPad Mini 2, but perfectly serviceable. I think it’s even faster than under iOS 11.x. Impressive considering it’s over 4 1/2 years old.
🏨 As part of being a U.S. citizen, it’s now become necessary to tell our government to NOT do bad things. So, here goes: Dear Government, Don’t take health coverage away from us. -Citizen Bob
🏛 Do we really have to call our elected officials to let them know we don’t support putting children in cages? If that’s the case, we already lost.
⚖️ It will take a lifetime to undo just 18 months of this administration. The world is listening.
🏛 I just completed jury duty and, because Brooklyn is awesome, got a ton of work done thanks to court-supplied Wi-Fi.
🚘 Can you imagine if people walking on sidewalks acted the way many do while driving? You’d be walking, get up behind someone, and yell, at the top of your lungs, “GET THE EFF OUT OF MY WAY!” But no one does that. I wish everyone thought about that while driving.
👨🏾 On May 9, I had a small medical issue which resulted with me falling down some of an escalator at DeKalb on Flatbush Ave. A stranger helped me to my feet and made sure I had my belongings back. Thanks unnamed stranger. NYC is the best, biggest small-town yer going to find.
💻 Today is the first time (ever!) that I’ve gotten bitten by the “Apple changed the screws on a notebook to prevent you from doing anything fun.” Way to kill the fun, guys.
📺 The second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events is far darker (so far) than season one. Far less fun despite the acting being quite good. I can’t really say I want to watch more of it.
✊🏻 My son and daughter each walked out of their schools on Friday to protest gun violence. My daughter got four days of detention because of it. They are both learning to make good trouble.
