@thegaffer@hobbitwhispers.social I just updated the OS on my iPhone and iPad. These were supposedly incremental security updates, not betas. But they were introducing shit for the upcoming iOS 27. Sure enough, it screwed up my email and took me hours to fix.
It should be like the hippocratic oath: First, do no harm.
I used to be so much more keen on the new stuff. Now I just want what I have to keep working, but that doesn’t make them any money.
Greed.

@dtm@mastodon.cc I'm with you. Was reflecting earlier this week on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and how it's still doing everything I need a phone to do, but eventually they'll break it by not allowing an OS upgrade or the apps that I rely on will be "upgraded" and suddenly incompatible with my OS version. Shifting as much as possible to using a browser interface instead of an app and self-hosting everything I can.
