So much has happened in my lawsuits against Apple over the last five months!

An incredible amount of new information came to light about my Apple office at the TRW #Superfund site & Apple's rogue secret silicon fab plant outside my living room, & how Apple retaliated against me about both, while Apple knew it was responsible for sickening & disabling me in 2020.

#Apple is evil, yo.

If you want to see the new bigger picture, I updated my mega-timeline:

The Internet works just fine without your every move being tracked. It works just fine without ads. It works just fine without novelty TLDs. What I fear is younger folks actually believing that things HAVE to be this way. They don't. "But how will it scale?" It doesn't have to. "But how will you monetize it?" You can, but you don't HAVE to. Again: IT. WAS. NOT. LIKE. THiS. not too long ago. It was cool, and weird, and serendipitous, and raw, and ugly.

I’m sure an apple headset will be very impressive, cost 6k, and if you try to make something for it they’ll deprecate the dev stack and replace it with something new with no backwards compatibility the day before you release. Also it will explode after three years.

The most convincing evidence for the overall drop of quality on the internet isn't even remotely the content itself.
It's the functionality of the websites, and their interface in particular. "2021-12-15 16:12 UTC" became "1 year ago". Search by date became as coarse as "This week/This month/This year", which by themselves come with 50% error margins. Search by duration: "Short", "Medium", "Long". Search pictures by size: "Small", "Medium, "Large". Numbers are hard. Windows went from being a quagmire of preciseness to reinventing a tablet interface every 4 years, with Gnome trailing behind and users tied up in a line following. With such poor functionality, is it any wonder everything is becoming an uphill struggle.
With search engines becoming more and more useless, no surprises that it's easier to generate something than look for anything.

Wow, hosting a wireless access point with linux-wifi-hotspot is just so easy. I was fighting hostapd configs, and my problems were solved with just one command.

Is Kirby canonically nonbinary then? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby_(character)#Gender

interesting fact: it has never been easier to access and support avant-garde and experimental art of all kinds from around the world

i want a never-online video game. i want a game that folds its arms and impatiently taps its toes until i get off the fucking internet before playing it.

i think more games should stutter a bit sometimes. i like to know that the computer is thinking really hard about the game

@TheBierFrau It's a sign of our beautiful times that advertising ruined, and made near completely useless:

1. Answering telephone calls.
2. Voicemail
3. Text messages
4. E-Mail
