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.

Apple has generally not had ads anywhere. However in recent years they are placing ads in more and more locations, making the user experience worse. Do you disagree with that statement?
I don't disagree with that statement in regards to advertising, but the level of control Apple has held over all of their product lines more or less made the situation inevitable (to say nothing about the likely data collection and ecosystem restrictions away from customers' eyes).
Then i guess we agree, my comment was about ads, not all kinds of other stuff.
