Remember back when Apple’s achievements revolved around making great products?
The iPod was genuinely dope in first and second generation.
Reminder that many companies bent the knee to the Nazis because it was financially beneficial for them at the time.
I heard Apple products taste like boots.
All the apple and tesla fanboys that still support then should be ashamed of themselves. By making excuses, you are enabling them to do what they do.
I mean, I don’t disagree, but Google is just as awful and most people only really have a choice between an Android phone and an iPhone so not “supporting” one or the other isn’t really an option for most people who, you know, want a phone.
Linux phones need a lot of improvement and growth before they can be a functional replacement for either of those, sadly.
Oh man I want VIABLE Linux phones to be a thing so so bad.
I love Graphene but Google just makes it harder and harder for them to do what they do and eventually I’m afraid they will find a way to shut most of their functionality down completely. Despite how graphene has discovered critical vulnerabilities many many times over the years and helped Google by immediately disclosing them.
Linux phones need to happen and I would love to see it happen soon.
The open source community could really shove it to Apple and Google by figuring that out.
Last I recall, a lot of mobile hardware requires proprietary firmware and drivers that make OSS work here really difficult.
And then there’s fabrication. Where are you going to build your components and assemble the products?
There is smaller companies creating phones, if they would have the option of an mature open source os, I’m sure companies like fair phone or shift phone would make the switch.
Remember when it was viewed as not appropriate to write stories about Apple’s tax dodging because Tim Cook came out as gay, and how important and brave he was.
Remember that Apple, and specifically Tim Cook, has bent over for Trump over and over, including helping fund his bullshit ass ballroom?
Maybe we should accept that absurdly rich gay white men can be just as big of shitbirds as absurdly rich straight white men and just as willing to sell out their own countrymen and their own sexual identity community.
Thiel is gay- and ranting about the anti Christ.
It’s amazing how he thinks money will save him from being lined up against a wall with other gay people and shot by his current allies
As a gay, F all billionaires. Even the gay ones. They are not for the people.
Billionaire transcends all other identities.
A trans billionaire (if it was ever allowed to happen) would be a shitbird by default.
I didn’t even know he was gay.
Still, fuck him. Whenever somebody is doing something evil nothing should be used as an excuse. Similarly, Israel should not be allowed to commit genocide, because someone in the past committed genocide on Jews.
Tax dodging is stealing from us (using benefits of the society without contributing back), sending bribes and bending a knee is helping fascism to take over.
Yet 42 million people need food stamps to not starve to death
