As De Gaulle would say, The Internet graveyards are full of indispensible platforms. Microsoft and Apple do this petty software warfare to each other on a daily basis, but journalists worship and love those corporations. So let’s hold the one tycoon we hate, the villain-of-the-week, to a higher standard. It’s so tetchy and pusillanimous. The media is like your mother after she bought a smartphone in 2015 sending you nagging texts all day
