Comment on Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.

  “Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”

  So is Google and every major company

    You’re right it’s both now can we fuck off with the “buh buh buh the other company!” bullshit?

    Article is about Apple not Google.

      On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong

      And every slight Apple does is The Worst Ever

      If Google does the same thing, out come the excuses. 😀

        I don’t use apple for the same reason I don’t use fisher price as an adult. You are free to use your technology made for babies that’s beside the point. The point is that the article in discussion is about Tim Cook and Apple providing a recent bribe to Trump.

        Your comment is providing no value. You are attempting whataboutism and really shows the type of person you are more than anything.

        To be clear, if googl was caught bribing and someone said “buh buh buh Apple!” If he saying the same thing. Stop sucking dick like they owe you something to take a side.

        When Google bribes Trump with a 24k gold gift let’s discuss Google then ok?

        I buy pixel phones, because out of the sea of bullshit, it’s at least capable of being rooted/flash to a new os. The PinePhone sadly isn’t ready.

    Is this a “you criticize society yet you participate in it” thing?

    Ya but I am pretty sure Google has done a lot to help Trump. Any big tech company wants to be on the good side of Trump.

      Exactly, they all are sucking that orange teet now.

      With the degree of information, and capacity to profile individuals at scale and model complex systems, Google likely knew Trump would be in the white house long before anyone else. They fired up the bribery train early on.

    Maybe if we were on reddit, here I really don’t think that’s true.

    I’m typing this on a Lenovo laptop keyboard (V14 series, the plastic casing is just a catastrophe near the lid hinges, though I’ve seen the same with the magnesium casing, it has plastic parts inside).

    I’ve also pirated some Apple TV attempt at Foundation episodes, but honestly felt like The Arc. Sci-Fi with some right initial ideas, but ultimately thoroughly idiotic.

    In case of Apple TV’s Foundation, I couldn’t help thinking that they were trying to make it “look expensive” and “feel elitarian” similarly to their products, first priority, make it feel “diverse” and in social interactions representing a certain prestigious set of political ideas, second priority, make it feel nuanced and intelligent more than be nuanced and intelligent, third priority.

    Honestly even with 90s Apple stuff virtualized I feel something bad, like nausea, I wouldn’t be able to use it probably. Too much visual design flexing.
