Imagine Hitler with his Nazi arm band. Imagine all of the people under him, with their Nazi armbands. Imagine any businessman that might called in, standing in front of him, also with their Nazi arm bands. Now imagine Trump with his armband and Tim Cook. Imagine Tim Cook with his arm band. Imagine Apple headquarters, flags out front.

And then there's you. What will you do.

Ethics are not easy. You DO have a choice.

#Apple cares for your privacy by hiring Israeli unit 8200 spies to work for them. This is not surprising given that their Chairman of the board of directors is Jewish and so are others at the top.

wait #TimCook is just like all these other shitty CEOs with FU money who still somehow care more about being even richer than having self respect or acting in the public interest? #Apple

the American culture of worshipping businessmen and being rich is fucking gross.

if i ever cursed the name of the ibook g4, which i have on many a sunday morning, for its viciously difficult teardown procedure and dozens of random screw sizes,

then let it be known: you are hereby forgiven dear g4,

for you are merely a lieutenant subcommander in the ranks of permacomputing hell,

and your true demiurge is the god fucking awful ipad. 4 hours to replace a battery - 2 of those hours spent removing glue and double-sided tape.

Gotta love how #Android phones will charge with literally any charger, even the absolutely awful 5W charger of a scientific calculator, and my #Apple iPad which came with a 20W charger can't charge at all with my 80W OnePlus charger. Oh Apple, I will never make the mistake of buying an iProduct ever again.

This contrasts with #WhatsApp who say they have not - and is the same as #Apple - who also refused to confirm or deny, saying if they had, it would be illegal for them to comment.

5️⃣ #Apple hat in #UK bekanntlich die Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung bei #iCloud deaktiviert, um nicht mit UK-Gesetzen in Konflikt zu kommen. Nun gibt es Anzeichen, dass UK auf Druck der USA einen Rückzieher machen wird. Das wäre eine aus Sicht des Datenschutzes durchaus erfreuliche Entwicklung. Allerdings wäre besser, wenn dies aus grundsätzlichen Überlegungen heraus passieren würde und nicht nur, um Trump oder Vance nicht zu verärgern …
