Rüdiger Rübig<p>The recent macOS development is worrying. If Apple plans to lock down macOS the ipadOS way, I will definitely cry and then move on too Windowsland with a heavy heart after more then 20 years using macOS.

Rob<p>I think Gruber might be mistaking Mastodons higher honesty for a smaller usage.

Steve Roy<p>Based on the seemingly lifetime sponsorship that Kolide has on <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/DaringFireball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DaringFireball</span></a>, I don’t have a favorable impression of them. Let’s shove our brand in front of Daring Fireball readers and hog all the advertising space seems to be the tactic. Hate that.</p>
