That ring, it feels nice to kiss it - Tim Apple

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.
-
I guess a lot of good people will ditch Apple now, right? RIGHT?
-
Which phone brand is recommendable at the moment? Fairphone uses android, which can hardly be trusted.
-
You can install CalyxOS or other custom ROM

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.
-
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?

Not that ring... The other ring... - Tim Apple

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!

GrapheneOS
-
not on the Fairphone.
-
You can install /e/ on the Fairphone
-
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 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 did only a quick search really but couldn’t find if any major android phone manufacturers had stopped advertising on there?
-
All in bed together. Didn’t they both attend Mar A Lago? No way they’re going to separate.
-
I don't get how this is even worth writing an article about.
-
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.
There is no negotiating with fascists.

Because they, a company that markets itself as free thinking, are supporting a platform run by a Nazi.
