       @nstrm @daringfireball No one knows what Siri AI is because it doesn't exist yet. What we know is that Siri has been dumb shit for ages, with no way to change it. And even for conversations Apple gave users in Japan an option to call other agents, but bot anywhere else in the world. It's Apple literally saying fuck you to you, and you defend it.

       @nstrm @daringfireball "A supranational trillion-dollar company deciding to reduce user choice and competition is good actually"

       @nstrm @daringfireball A question of how companies will design their products when Apple literally doesn't let them run on their platform never even appears in these discussions. Meanwhile here's Pebble saying how Apple intentionally prevents interoperability for competing products: https://ericmigi.com/blog/apple-restricts-pebble-from-being-awesome-with-iphones/

       @nstrm @daringfireball I mean, in one of the comments last year @gruber said that if you want a competing photos app on the iPhone, the company should instead design and sell their own phone lol

       @nstrm @daringfireball @gruber > Why would they be entitled to do anything on someone elses platformThat's literally how platforms work: by letting others develop on them. Or do you think that all the apps you use are developed by Apple and Apple only?Or do you think Apple is entitled to kick anyone out as soon as they develop their own competing product no matter how shitty?1/

       @nstrm @daringfireball @gruber Cars are an analogy only if you consider that if iOS was a car, Apple would orevent you from using tires from a different manufacturer, or fill up at any gas station of your choice. Would you be cheering for them?2/2

       @nstrm Who "they" are not entitled? So you're saying that the moment Apple develops their own competing product with yours, Apple is entitled to kick you out instead of competing on merit? (That's what they did or tried to do on numerous occasions). Also, learn the word "duopoly" and why "voting with your wallet" doesn't work.

       @nstrm Why isn't Pebble "entitled" to similar functionality? You literally said "let others build their products and compete". Here's Pebble building a product, and Apple literally preventing them from competing, and literally preventing you from enjoying the same functionality with a competing product. Apple's terms literally allow them to kick you out if you build "similar functionality" and they will literally set defaults to their shitty apps without a way to change it. 1/

       @nstrm It's not the legislation that leaves out useful features. It's supranational corps literally saying "fuck you" to you, the user, and you are praising them for it, and saying they are not doing anything wrong. 2/2

       @nstrm BTW, the world view of "supranational corps should be allowed to do whatever they want" is fascinating. Because the digital world as we know it literally couldn't exist without  people running whatever they want on their computers.
