I just got an ad on Instagram from Apple that has them shoving a bunch of things we love (music, games, art) and squeezing it with a hydraulic press into an unrecognisable smush that turns into an iPad. Incredible optics, what a metaphor for the crushing effect big tech has on anything fun and creative whenever it gets involved.

@decryption It was the start of the iPad section in the Apple Event this week. They uploaded the full thing to YouTube as well for those who haven't seen it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntjkwIXWtrc

@decryption I don’t know, and not that I play them, but I hear people enjoy playing games on their big tech manufactured devices.

And for what I do know, recording music, this is definitely fun with my Apple doo-dads.

@decryption Haha!

I love these little timeline coincidences.

The Verge hates it too.
