Speaking of bigco's.

Yesterday I was out and about and wanted to listen to some music and a podcast on my iPhone. I had them all copied into the iPhone via iTunes, ready to play in the Apple music app. Except when I opened the Music app on the subway it froze on the screen where they want me to sign up to their farkakte music service. Which I will never sign up to ever under any circumstances.

It stayed frozen there until I got home and installed the new version of iOS, which seemed to stir things up enough so that it woke up from its crash, and let me play my own music after dismissing the dialog. Yes I tried everything. I rebooted it. Pressed every pixel to see if it was waiting for me to do something.

Fuck Apple. I paid almost $1000 for this brick. All I want to do is listen to some fucking music while I'm walking around. No, they want me locked in even more, and to get me locked in they're willing to install some crashy crapware on my fucking phone that prevents it from even playing music, something iPods could do fine, by the way, in 2001 or 2002. About 15 years ago. When Steve was still alive, btw.

This shit sucks Apple. At least keep the fucking software working well enough to play a song or a podcast, and until you get that right oh please I need to stop now I get so pissed at them.
