I’m growing very annoyed with Apple lately. Giving Trump a solid gold brick was bad enough. I knew it would get worse with all those Trump dinners Tim Cook has been attending.
Between Apple Google AWS and Microsoft the amount of control by US tech is terrifying.
This year I’ve started divesting but politically I think I need to accelerate.
I’ve been a user of the Mac for 20 years, this year I moved to a Linux desktop. Now I need to look into Linux phone and laptops soon.

with the advent of the walled garden for Android, the future for privacy respecting mobile phones seems to be with Linux. I imagine it won’t be long before they start targeting GrapheneOS, and since they control the hardware, we need new hardware that was never intended to run Android in the first place.

Wish there was a way to make our own phones as opposed to be continuing to be at the mercy of OEMs who build phones without the intention of people running custom roms. Wish it was like PCs where we could pick and choose our own parts without having to buy prebuilts.

there was a project with that in mind, was going to be something like the Framework laptops, but it didn’t take off.

Nothing that has expectations of its users ever does. The only reason desktops let you build them is that IBM set a default for modularity to save money, and most consumers ignore it. Trying to change a dumb default to be smarter as with phones will never happen though
