@marcoarment@mastodon.social @kevinrenskers@hachyderm.io I know this won’t make a dent in their profits, but I’ve decided not to replace my 14 Pro Max until absolutely necessary (definitely not this year), cancelled all my AppleCare policies, and disabled automatic updates on all my devices. I no longer recommend or defend the company or its products. Apple is no longer a trusted company in my book.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social @kevinrenskers@hachyderm.io Tim Cook's legacy was moving manufacturing jobs from the US to China, teaching them how to make complex products at scale, and how to install suicide nets. We should be glad he’s "destroying it”. Oh, wait…

@marcoarment@mastodon.social I’ll keep making this point: it’s time to stop purchasing new Apple products. You can get whatever devices you actually need second hand if it comes to it, and Marco, you specifically have a big enough platform that if you advocated for such a boycott, it WOULD be noticed. Stand on your principles. No new Apple hardware purchases until Tim Cook is no longer CEO.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social just bought a used pixel to install graphene. My family Apple ecosystem is over. No new purchases

@marcoarment@mastodon.social I never bought anything new from them. But "out of OS support" Apple-Intel are may favorite Linux-Machines. Even my iPhone mini 13 is a refurbished one - but when this gives up - I will even quit the use of 2nd Hand iPhones. The whole US TechBros are totally lost... and every single of their stock holders with them.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social apple never stood for anything, they wanted you to throw out all your technology and buy everything new every year. since the mac classic. seriously, its been about consumerism since then.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social I mean, not to put too fine a point on it, but Apple just had another record quarter. Also, making beautiful apps like Overcast for the App Store makes you a Cook regime collaborator, not a member of the resistance.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social I’ve decided that (save some serious turn around) I likely won’t be buying another iPhone. Need to sort out what I’ll do when my AirPods give out.

@TheServitor@sigmoid.social 2026-02-03 01:26
@marcoarment@mastodon.social Close? lol. Tim Cook is full fasc enabler and Apple has been evil a couple decades now.

@mikesaul@climatejustice.social 2026-02-03 01:57
@marcoarment@mastodon.social Not close. There. Limping along on a laptop I would have but refused to replace last year. Phones will also need replaccment in next few years. But just won’t Apple right now. Trying to figure out where to go!

@eugenekim@mastodon.world 2026-02-03 02:02
@marcoarment@mastodon.social I need to upgrade my phone, still using my 13, but I just can’t get myself to spend money at Apple especially now. Tim Cook has to go.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social an old friend was arguing that people that boiught Tesla before they knew he was a fascist should not feel obligated to divest. ffs. people are just so lame sometimes.

@Berilious@mastodon.social 2026-02-03 03:47
@marcoarment@mastodon.social at this point with that definition of fascist, you probably can't buy very much anywhere in the centralised financial world. The very money you use is arguably supporting a type of fascism. Let alone the products.

@AnonymousFreak@bitbang.social 2026-02-03 04:20
@marcoarment@mastodon.social While I see Cook’s actions not as personal agreement and support for Mango Mussolini, but as “hedging corporate bets,” that doesn’t make it any better. I’m due for a phone upgrade this year. I really hope Apple reverses course on their support for a trumped-up government before it’s time to buy.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social The rich always bow to fascism. Always have. That you ever throught otherwise is the actual weakness we should be criticising here..

@marcoarment@mastodon.social this is just how capitalism works. hell there still companies around that helped the nazis kill tonnss of people, the same countries that denied weapons for the spanish legitimate defense of the democratically elected govt helped rebuild those companies. the same pattern for chile argentin middle east. they rather have a global war or a dictator torturing and disappearing students and workers than relinquish power.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social The difference is that there are many other manufacturers of electric vehicles. Once people start considering Apple just as bad as Google/Android and Microsoft, there aren't a lot of alternatives.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social I wish there was a better alternative to the Apple ecosystem for the folks building commercial software.
