Interestingly, “Gift” is also German for poison. npub1ht69a2vnlwqf3ndsyrwfaq5mc8xf20d2vdh8vssempzqghm333qscgy7zu Timo Grün @npub1lrv…tth9 Piece by piece, step by step, Apple is systematically dismantling all the reputation and goodwill they have built up over the years. It seems as pointlessly perverse and misguided as climate denial or flat earthism. npub1ht69a2vnlwqf3ndsyrwfaq5mc8xf20d2vdh8vssempzqghm333qscgy7zu Timo Grün @npub1jwp…dfde I report the spam but never hit “unsubscribe”.

Since I work on screens all day it’s become my preferred way to read novels. Over the last couple of years, Audible has been developing Netflix-style enshittification: You have to wade through deeper and deeper swamps of garbage to find something worth reading. This has got worse recently — many books seem worse than the most amateur fan fiction and it’s difficult to understand how they ever got published.
