   @Tupp_ed @mathowie we have this whole thing where we think it's important to identify the good parts of early microcomputing culture, the stuff that's worth carrying forward into the future, and then protect that. fundamentally what we want is for computers to continue to be tools to expand the human potential for discovery and creation, by staying explorative. tools for self-expression are part of that...

   BUT

   it's hardly self-expression when a company's algorithm decides what you want to say?

     @Tupp_ed @mathowie it's as if Apple remembers its past, from the days when nobody quite knew what computers were going to be good for yet, so they're trying to conjure up that creative spirit but they also have everything so locked down for security and usability reasons that it's not possible for third parties to make this stuff

     so they try to foist their own corporate creativity on the public, and convince us it's the same thing as if we'd come up with it ourselves
