And that's why companies should have a limit to growth. They become authoritan countries at some point.
I can live with most of the other stuff, since the quality is good and they are hassle-free devices with Unix-like conventions, they last long, feel fantastic to use; Despite the price, despite the ring-kissing of Trump, despite being a mega corporate spreading its capitalistic cancer across the globe… all because the alternatives have been even worse.
Union busting is where I draw the line though, no matter if it’s in the sale or manufacturing or design side or whatever. This is the first one I hear about, I’ve not been aware of any earlier instances, mostly because I don’t follow stuff so tightly, I am almost certain it has happened before, but now that I have it in front of my eyes I can no longer abide it in my blissful ignorance.
This marks the day they lost me as a long-term customer. Perhaps ought to have happened earlier, but for me, it happened today.
I encourage others to consider the same.
Not really sure what I’ll do after these current devices die on me, but now it’s clear to me it can’t be apple. Google’s been dead to me a long time, same for Sony, Samsung, most other big players.
I guess we’ll see what the landscape is like in 5 years.
Fuck this. Fuck apple. Fuck me.
Consider Fairphone. You pay a bit more for mid tier device, but hopefully (and so far seemingly) the money is being well spent.
Software security is not their top priority if the discussion with the Graphene OS project is anything to go by. Not necessarily a deal breaker but something may want to know.
a bit late, but never too late
🥲🥹🫡 https://system76.com/ I have used all main systems... I was a mac fanboy... and I can tell you gnome... you will like. So much you can do. Best of all no apple ID. It also appears the CEO is fighting back with the whole age gating. There is a way. There is hope.
We have different lines, but yours is respectable. It's sad that Android is also enshitifying.
Unions Strong!! Fuck corporations and the dirtbags that run them!!
Really wish I could boycott a brand twice
following the starbucks method, ive seen a couple SB around me suddenly closed overnight, in a high traffic area(conference events every week), they likely smelled a potential union talks going on in some of the shops. the ones in target are not likely affected by it.
I actualy like coffee and small coffee shops...The shop I like..in which I can't walk to anymore because I moved, I still order from them because they roast their own beans...bunch of ethopians who have ties to home... Yet I am also trash so it is instant for me. I wouldn't be caught dead in a SB on my own accord.
I, for one, am shocked!
