Yeah - this really confused me. Why did they make a second update on the 14th when the first update said they’d hear back on the 15th?

He’s in Australia. It was already the 15th there when he posted that, but the person you’re responding to isn’t in Australia and the blog they copied and pasted from probably compensated for time zones.

Even if they get back and correct all this, I hope the author learns a lesson and begins exporting his digital footprint to other services.

It’s pretty clear he’ll go back to Apple like a dog to vomit.

Uh … yeah, it’s his livelihood. He writes books on programming with Apple machines. Of course he’s still going to do the things he’s been doing his whole life.

I dunno. If I had made my livelihood working in someone else’s walled garden for years and years, and they unceremoniously kicked me out one day with zero warning, I might begin to question things a little bit??

You don’t need to host your “digital life” with Apple for that. Nor do you need to host it in a single place either.
