Ah Greta… every now and then she needs to blurt out something to stay in the news…
Yeah, fuck her for using her platform to bring attention to things she cares about!
#/s
Mainstream news has completely dropped Greta since she started speaking out against genocide. They did not expect their favorite activist to move beyond the boundaries they set for her.
Social media now that is another story. She has enormous street cred.

TIL , apple city location is built on top of Al-Haram, Jaffa a Palestinian village where it’s people got kicked out in 1984
Why is there so much business in such a small country? It’s fucking insane
It has high tech, including Intel and many other companies, which tends to be even in large countries consolidated into a few areas.
Tons of talented engineers. Jewish people are thought to be very success oriented culturally. Stereotype in American movies and TV shows is that all the good lawyers are Jewish, etc. There’s also a reason the modern nazi dogdwhistle for Jews is “international bankers”.
Way, way ahead of you Greta.
Apple is corrupt as fuck because Pegasus is straight out of Israel
I often wonder why people think Google is less evil than Apple. The oligarchs aren’t giving us choices. Every big corporation and most small businesses are evil by design. Are people supposed to move into a cabin in the woods and go off grid?
It’s just comfortable living in the mindset that your choise of product tribe somehow makes a difference. People shut down on the thought that pretty much everything is fucked.
It does, otherwise Israel wouldn’t pay millions in dollar to combat boycott. They also spend millions to make it illegal to boycott.
where you find those people?
All over the Fediverse. Apple is evil. Never use Apple products.
I switched to Apple because I wanted a way to get away from Google who I feel is more evil than Apple. I didn’t have access to a computer to install GrapheneOS on a Pixel so I bought an iPhone and canceled most of my Google accounts.
My laptop has Fedora on it but we don’t have a Linux phone available.
Marketing, Apple has many privacy and security ads. While their privacy/security is not different from google.
I often wonder why people think Google is less evil than Apple
They control the de facto search engine. They control the de facto video sharing platform. They’re the biggest ad company in the world. They control what world sees and hears.
I have no doubt they’ve secretly shaped opinion on themselves.
Both companies are evil, but in different ways so you just pick the side that most closely aligns with your goals.
For me I switched bc Google keeps randomly killing projects so I have no idea what service is going to work and which isn’t. They killed Inbox so I switched to Apple.
That and their ad business.
I want a pure Linux phone now.
….or that cabin in the woods is sounding pretty good.
Seems like best thing is buy a pixel used and put grapheneOS on it.
Sort of. It’s still a massive PITA and there’s no support updates for the affordable ones.
Thanks Greta. I didn’t know that. I’ve had a pretty bad opinion on Apple. Now it has somewhat improved.
You’re a fuckwit
You’re free to block me :)

Everybody outside of China who designs silicon has R&D facilities in Israel. They seem to have a lot of silicon expertise there, and have for decades (the Intel 8087 floating-point coprocessor was designed there around 1980, and the engineer’s Hebrew initials are on the chip die).
The best tech that stolen American research and tax payer dollars can provide.
Shame I can’t boycott because this was a boring product update and I wasn’t gonna buy it anyway.
This is the second time it won’t be even a little tempting to try the new Apple product. Vision Pro looked pointless, and this is more of the same. Already bigger than the biggest iPhone, then it folds out to twice that size? They still make iPads, right?
As a tech person I refuse to buy Apple. They pray on people who have no clue about tech.
Microsoft and Google do that too. Apple at least put some polish into it. At least they used to.

Americans would never boycott apple.
Thanks to “blue bubble”.
Many already do for various reasons, but yeah there could be a lot more. This will definitely add to the total at least.
And even if they did, the rest of the world is still a problem.
I promise not to spend $2K on a Duo.
If I want to run two apps at the same time, I can just get two iPhone 17s and tape them together. I
t would save a couple hundred bucks also.
And you would also get double the processing power
It would probably look less stupid too.
Honestly, even without this, there are so many reasons not to buy from that shitty company.
I may have bought in completely to Apple’s ecosystem…. But at this point it’s more because I hate every other tech giant slightly more.
