All in bed together. Didn’t they both attend Mar A Lago? No way they’re going to separate.
What the FUCK, Apple?!
You sound surprised…
The one silver lining about the new US administration is that it has helped undermine some fundamental notions around American exceptionalism.
American oligarchs are not that different from oligarchs in other countries.
Its been wonderful purging all my american owned crap from my smart speakers to reddit. Looking forward to getting a linux desktop for the first time in nearly 10 years!
If your last time using Linux was 10 years ago you’re going to be SO PLEASED at how good it is now.
Did you replace your smart speaker or you don’t use one at all?
Agreed, moving away from American tech stuff is becoming a priority.
American oligarchs are no better than the oligarchs who work with putin or Xi. Perhaps even worse because they tend to be much more dishonest in their rhetoric (constant pompous rants about “changing the world for the better”).
I just switched over to Linux Mint and, while it’s not perfect, it’s so much better than windows.

I guess a lot of good people will ditch Apple now, right? RIGHT?
I did only a quick search really but couldn’t find if any major android phone manufacturers had stopped advertising on there?
The best option is GrapheneOS on Pixel devices.
FOSS alternatives exist for many Android devices. Apple goes to great lengths to block every alternative on all hardware that isn’t mac. I’ve been on iOS since the 3G, but have just purchased an older pixel to start migrating apps and data to GrapheneOS. I wish Pine phone had GOS, but it is what it is.
There is no negotiating with fascists, and Apples #1 market is the US. There is no chance in hell they will defy or deny fascism.
My question is less about the OS than it is the manufacturers paying to advertise on X. Buying from them is supporting X indirectly.
Buy used Pixel or other phone that supports open Android OS, company gets none of your $$.
I’m looking for silver linings and I suppose the marketing people at these companies are much less stressed to have to keep Googling, “how to pretend to give a shit about fellow humans” every time they need to produce a few hundred characters.
Which phone brand is recommendable at the moment? Fairphone uses android, which can hardly be trusted.
Fairphone uses their own custom OS to degoogle things and help ensure privacy. I dont think its perfect but its about as good as it gets. Otherwise you can buy a google phone and degoogle it with Graphene

no they don’t. the default Fairphone OS runs stock Android with all Google apps. there are degoogled custom ROMs available, and you can buy some models with it preinstalled, but those are managed by third party resellers/partners.
Google Pixel + GrapheneOS
Also, if you think Apple’s completely closed source software is more trustworthy than Google’s mostly open source software… LOL
also, idk how true this is, but ive seen that google sells pixels at a loss when they’re on sale (they expect to make back the money by spying on you)
so if you were to get a pixel while it’s on sale and install grapheneos on it, not only would you get a nice phone with a secure os, but you’d do so while costing google money. win win win!
Yeah, the most “free” option is probably android custom ROMs (anything based on lineageos, I suppose).
There are alternatives that are slowly building up, such as postmarketos, but it’s not production ready.
I think KaiOS was a thing for a while, and it’s based on FirefoxOS. But you would have to ditch the confort of a real smartphone and I’m not sure it’s still active?
You can install CalyxOS or other custom ROM
GrapheneOS
not on the Fairphone.
You can install /e/ on the Fairphone
or CalyxOS if you’re not too fond of knockoff iOS UI. I’ve been using Calyx on my FP4 for a while now, works like a charm.
Forgot that runs on Fairphone.
Yeah, Calyx is the better option for it
I don’t get how this is even worth writing an article about.
Because they, a company that markets itself as free thinking, are supporting a platform run by a Nazi.
There’s tons of pictures of Tim hanging out with trump so I think it’s pretty obvious.
