@kevinrenskers > Apple won’t earn another cent from me for hardware.
If one of your existing products bit the dust, would you consider replacing it second-hand through eBay? Technically, Apple wouldn’t get any money. How would you weigh that, morally?

@dgriffinjones yea, second hand is fair game I think. No money goes to Apple. But luckily everything still works perfectly fine and fast enough.
Need to reduce my spending on services.

@kevinrenskers Thank you for writing this. I would like to add another note on “Apple has me trapped”. Banking apps.
As far as I understand, they don’t exist outside of Google and Apple ecosystems and are crucial infrastructure for everyday life.
I’m sure more people have similar issues with whatever needs they have in their life.
(Weirdly, in Canada, certain banking limits are different between web and mobile apps) -

(Weirdly, in Canada, certain banking limits are different between web and mobile apps)@leroy I’ve read that most banking apps are supposed to work on /e/OS? But yeah it’s tricky for sure! This duopoly sucks.

@kevinrenskers Thank you for your great text! I feel exactly like you explain and have suffered under Tim Apple for so long. This text from February last year is subpar to yours, but share the same sentiment. I have reduced my spending on Apple hardware to the bare minimum, and while I will still buy what I truly need, I will not do so happily. That’s something I share with most US big tech companies these days, but I never believed Apple would join that gang.

@kevinrenskers I need to look into it again, my banks aren’t the best…

https://danielsaidi.com/blog/2025/02/17/when-tech-giants-bow-reconsidering-my-relationship-with-us-tech@danielsaidi nice article! I already don’t use Google, Facebook, X, TikTok, PayPal, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc, so I don’t have too many changes to make. But yeah it really sucks Apple is now rotten as well.

@leroy to be fair I haven’t looked up my specific banks either. No Android Auto is already basically a dead breaker for a de-Googled Android flavor :/

@kevinrenskers hah, my car is too old for that luckily. I can play CDs! But I feel your pain for sure.
My career has been largely shaped by Apple, and trying to shift it is quite difficult when that’s where customers are and what clients want.

@leroy 90% of my professional life between 2012 and 2023 was building iOS apps (the remaining 10% was building Python APIs), so my decision to switch back to the web didn’t come lightly. A huge part of my life revolved around Apple and their devices.

@kevinrenskers - I just switched my daily driver from mac to linux.
I switched from Windows to Mac when the Mac mini first came out. Mine was the first one sold in Germany (out of a first-day shipment of six :-)
For Messages, consider Signal. Similar integration on mobile and desktop: text, call, and video.
My big hurdle was Photos. Digikam works for me now.Still, some things don't work, yet. Bit once I figure it out, they will.
I've felt for years that macs have been deteriorating ever faster, with no solution in sight.Feels good now.

@kevinrenskers Great, I was considering Apple after trying my company's Mac Mini.

@emma @kevinrenskers yeah! That's the one!

@axel_hartmann Nobody I know is on Signal, that’s just not a real option for me.

@qgustavor It’s still miles better than Windows so I totally understand. Once I tried my first Mac, back in 2005 or so, I also made the switch.

@kevinrenskers glad to see your post getting some traction. As for me, I sold my MacBook Pro recently and am now firmly in the Linux camp and no longer own any Apple devices. Meanwhile, the most recent post on Daring Fireball is boasting about Apple's profits - doesn't that mean the CEO is doing well?

In realtà sospetto che la cosa non sarebbe facile, soprattutto ai giorni nostri, a meno di non lavorare all'anagrafe o avere comunque agganci là dentro (e mantenerli “di generazione in generazione”). Con questa soluzione ci si potrebbe quanto meno evitare indagini scomode, ma a meno di non saltare da pensionato a pensionato, rimarrà comunque la necessità di lavorare.

Diventerebbe quindi un caso mediatico, e non è difficile immaginare che ci sarebbero estensivi tentativi di trasformarlo in una cavia, o quanto meno assoggettarlo a tutta una serie di verifiche per cercare di capire il funzionamento di questa immortalità.
L'alternativa sarebbe di cercare di fare come gli immortali di Highlander, saltando di identità in identità e simulando la propria morte ogni volta.

In "Storia della filosofia occidentale" (lettura consigliatissima) Bertrand Russell confutava i sillogismi basati su "Tutti gli uomini sono mortali" dicendo che possiamo saperlo solo di quelli già morti, ma non abbiamo alcuna certezza per quelli ancora vivi.

@oblomov io voglio l'anteprima dei risultati, dopo mi pronuncio... sai com'è "attento a quel che desideri, potrebbe anche avverarsi" (e spesso trattasi di figate che si rivelano sfighe pazzesche)
