   if you’ve been living under a rock these past few months before today’s #AppleEvent here’s two links as a quick refresher on Tim Cook’s latest fascist bootlicking asshattery:

   Apple CEO Tim Cook bends the knee to Donald Trump https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-ceo-tim-cook-bends-173140460.html

   Tim Cook says ‘thank you’ 8 times in less than two minutes at dinner with Donald Trump https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/India/tim-cook-says-thank-you-8-times-in-less-than-two-minutes-at-dinner-with-donald-trump-he-was-super-nervous/ar-AA1LZ4X5

   FWIW : if you’re a minority targeted by fascists, Apple’s closed ecosystem is now a hostage situation with Cook’s allegiance to Trump

     BTW
     there is no reason you shouldn’t have full access to your #computers. there is also no reason whatsoever you shouldn’t install software you’ve developed or is developed by sources you vetted and trust.

     this is a post about the (micro)computers in your pockets and purses that are marketed under the moniker of “smart phone”.

     don’t matter if it’s an #iOS #iPhone or an #Android #Pixel: they’re #microcomputers.

     we should have full access to and use of their hardware & operating systems.

     @blogdiva I still remember the promise of the Open Handset Alliance when Android was first released to the world. Now it's just another pile of proprietary blobs and locked bootloaders. Damned annoying.
