Gregory's Server@stroughtonsmith Not to put too fine a point on it, but what does it say about the values of people who buy Apple products and/or develop software for the platform run by people with those values over there?

@dgodon @OldManJade @stroughtonsmith never come across that one in the wild, can you show some examples?  @OldManJade you tell me, it's been a good four years since my most recent Apple products @stroughtonsmith You are still in the Apple ecosystem, still making money and helping Apple make money, but then even if you left on principle what platform isn't currying favor with Trump? As for Tim Apple's "donation" to the inauguration, the bet is it's cheaper getting Trump to bully the EU than complying with EU regs. We'll see how it plays out. @OldManJade @stroughtonsmith  @OldManJade @stroughtonsmith I think it says a lot more about the power that these megacorporations have. Vendor lock-in is one hell of a bitch. Not to mention that, in a profit-driven world, every company will eventually either turn evil, or be cut out of the market by a competitor who's willing to be evil. Individual responsibility is bullshit if the system is set up like that. |
@OldManJade @stroughtonsmith This is getting a bit too far into the "you hate capitalism so much, but you have an iphone, etc" argument.
