A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I wonder how much backtracking will be done. Are they going to listen to the concerns of the community or are they going to double down on their decisions?
My guess - zero backtracking
From how the AMA went, it sure seems that way. Funny how they just agreed to fuck over Apollo, but are working with the other apps, especially after blatantly lying about the situation. What a mess.
Spez was likely pissy that Christian called him on his bullshit and had all the receipts to prove it.
I'll bet spez isn't too happy about Apollo featuring in the Apple WWDC rather than the official app, either
Thin skin and the inability to admit that you’re wrong aren’t great qualities to have in a CEO…
And yet most CEOs have precisely those narcissistic tendencies
Fair point.
They say they are working with other apps but there were other devs posting that they've been trying to reach out but not getting any answers. The ball is being dropped on so many aspects.
They will only work with apps that are "non-commercial", AKA free labour. There's no way an app survives without some kind of monetisation. It's just a money sink then. It's honestly incredible how shitty they're being.
Yeah, in their answers, they didn't show any will to compromise.
