It must be bad if Gruber is criticising Apple.

Apologies if I came across as cranky, it was meant to be a colorful metaphor for fun, not to be unkind.

Yup. I remember when the iPhone first appeared, my first one was the 3GS and they had so much pre-installed nonsense. It’s very frustrating.

I could open-source defecating into your hands and clapping if you like, but it probably won’t increase demand or convert people, even open source advocates, into true believers if they don’t already like doing it.

And there are absolutely problems with Mullenweg’s stewardship, whatever else you might think of the product.

I agree but I suspect that the problem is that people have different opinions on where the line is on that. Presumably somebody, somewhere actually plays that stupid candy crush thing on Windows for example. It’s probably a ‘valuable service’ for it to be pre installed for them.

I kinda hate them but they’re allowed to like it.
