For me, Tim Cook will always and forever be that fake design award he gave Trump.

@inthehands His ass-kissing speaks louder than his words.

Then standing with his head hung in shame afterwards.

@nunesgh @WildEyedBoyFromFreecloud @inthehands This is worse than doing nothing he went out of his way to comply in advance.

Nah I think it's worse when they KNOW.

@inthehands yep spineless

@inthehands and many are supporting that by using Pear products.. stop using the promoters of #Drumpy and consorts.. we have the power...

@inthehands It was always baffling. If the incredible resources of Apple and his personal fortunes weren’t for that, what use are they?

[sgns@mastodon.social]

@JoBlakely I’m not buying that for one second. He’s an incredibly dedicated person, leading a company that goes to great lengths to keep people safe, whether they know it or not. Still just human.

[sgns@mastodon.social]

@inthehands It was a really bad look, but there’s a lot more to him. I think anybody who’s been in a situation where you’re constantly pressured to look good, while you’re responsible for the company, will understand. Sometimes you nearly fall on your nose.

@inthehands how many of you using iPhone & still yelling at Tim cook & ️️

[spiegelmama@infosec.exchange]

@Sgns @inthehands Wow, no, bad take. It's not a "bad look," it's collaboration with an authoritarian. And it's a bribe. Just one of many, from one of many supplicant corporations. He wasn't trying hard and missing, he was contributing to the destruction of the rule of law.

@inthehands don't forget the toxic gas emissions thing and being nasty to @ashleygjovik when she tried to get things fixed

Cook = a depraved, despicable fascist who must be held to account for his crimes and rot in jail for the rest of his failed life.

@inthehands - but actually it was the product range development (quiet computers that require noisy storage supplements might as well not be quiet) and the constant software rot (media storage and management that became increasingly closed, continuously lost features, and inserted AI slop metadata to my photos) that drove me away from the platform even before that.

[sgns@mastodon.social]

@spiegelmama Yes, it might have been that. I'm saying that on the whole, this is a human, and he's done good things too. And sometimes your sense of responsibility is what can make you susceptible to take risks to save what you care for. Think for a second of the million worse ways Apple might have collaborated. Did they? I'll be interested to find out. I'm not prepared to black or white this. I understand the temptation to "make him pay". But if you lose sense of the human, who's losing?

[michaelimodenwald@hessen.social]

@inthehands Wasn’t the ‘prize’ more of a bit of irony?

What was purchased before has been paid for and whether or not you use it will not change anything.
If Europeans need to change the equipment, buy non-Amerikkkan brands.

However, you should no longer buy an app from the store.

I had AirPods, iphone, and Watch (older than 7 years) that had battery problems. So I changed everything to European brands.
When my iPad must be changed, I will do the same thing ( event if the orange guy is dead) .
