over at the newsletter I wrote about how Tim Cook is an embarrassing coward

karlbode.comTim Cook Is An Embarrassing CowardTim Cook represents a soulless, rudderless, contrition unburdened by consistent ethics or any sort of overt mortal compass, desperate to delude you that fascism can be a reasonable partner open to me...

thank you for reading it I wanted to add something about how their software is pretty clunky in there but the paragraph was getting too long 😋

I was going to say, those little digs at the brand feel misdirected. Don’t look those rose tinted glasses of your youth get the best of you - today’s Apple is as innovative as they ever were hardware-wise (and software is mostly good). The thing they’re missing is the irreverence of the Jobs years.

The whole company under Jobs was just as well disciplined as they are today but Jobs - in interviews or in some whimsical product design choices - was able to be very “fuck you, this sucks” candid. The Cook era certainly has lost that and this dovetails nicely with the point you’re making.

More needs to be said about their lackluster ecosystem, UI included. I understand that it’s a herculean task but the innovation under his tenure has been nonexistent.
