Here's another previous post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25624456 which includes an answer of mine. To add to that list:
[1] "Andermatt - Global Village" - tracks the construction of a luxury resort in the Swiss village of Andermatt and how it affects people there. The village and the project still make the news occasionally. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0NjZjWpXyw
[2] "The Forgotten Space" - essayist movie by Allan Sekula, featured at documenta14. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0ZSlhoKiY
[3] "Cold Case Hammarskjöld" by Danish film maker Mads Brugger about the death of former UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld; absolutely wild ride. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Case_Hammarskj%C3%B6ld

It certainly seems as if they are more focused on rent-seeking than on innovation nowadays (cf. the Epic Games lawsuit vs. Apple Intelligence). On top of that, the WWDC has shifted to adress the public rather than the actual technical audience that attends the conference. Previously, WWDC keynotes were a bit closer to what is now the Platforms State of the Union presentation.

- When in doubt, save money / do the cheaper thing (mostly for consumption, vacation planning)
- Say yes (for activities with friends / colleagues; cf. "The Yes Man" with Jim Carrey)

Crtl-F "who turns 53 in June" to skip a rather lengthy description of the series (or scroll to the large red "B")

I saw the documentary and highly recommend it, but one thing that irks me is that apparently there are no reports or investigations on this other than the movie itself? Seemed odd to me for such a larger-than-life-conspiracy …
