"You don't need kernel extensions, we'll provide APIs for you! We won't abuse the power that gives us, promise!"

...and now Apple has altered the deal and we must pray they do not alter it further. Disgusting. Predictable, expected, unsurprising -- but still disgusting.

Yeah, I don't think so. I fought with technology since my late teens, and I'm just too old for that shit now. I have maybe an hour to spend on freetime every day and I want to spend exactly 0 seconds of it battling with my devices.

Apple gives me that. Ubuntu gives me that these days in some limited sense too, but not when you factor in AppleTV , phone, pad, homepod and airpod and the watch.
