@kevinrenskers I used to think Tim had character.
@kevinashworth Maybe when he posted about George Floyd, but other than that not much comes to mind? He mostly seems like a bean counter who doesn’t speak his mind.

@franksting as I said in the article:
My family all use it too, and we love to make collaborative playlists for road trips.
I’m not going to force them to switch to Tidal (I wouldn’t even be able to do so).
@kevinrenskers sorry, my bad for skimming over that bit :)

@kevinrenskers They still don't unlock iPhones for the government. But please, by all means, enjoy your next U.S. ecosystem.

@kevinrenskers so true in every aspect. …

@kevinrenskers at least Google doesn't pretend to care about you! lol
I don't rely on any Google services though. I don't use Gmail, or any of the other Google apps. I use Firefox on Android and desktop, Fastmail for mail/calendars/etc. WhatsApp for messaging. It's pretty difficult to avoid all shitty companies, so I try not to rely on any one of them for too much.
@stuartm @kevinrenskers careful with whatsapp, its owned by Meta Platforms Inc. or in other words, facebook. They are very greasy.

@kevinrenskers After reading this it seems save to assume, that Tim Cook is genuinely afraid.

@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.
@kevinrenskers Thanks, but it dwarfs in comparison with yours :) Big tech has come a long way from the “Make the world a better place” days.

@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 :/

@tux0r what a strange comment to make when i made it clear I’m looking for an alternative. Which is definitely not Google.

@kevinrenskers Is there a rose gold version available?

@kevinrenskers @kevinashworth Do you think you'd change your mind if he realises it was once again profitable to pretend to care about social issues?

@devolute cynical today, are we?
But the answer is no.

@kevinrenskers Respect. I've been cynical since I realised large corporations don't ever have 'souls' and their primary objective is to make money, almost always at the expense of absolutely everything else and I think it's terribly naive to think anything else.

@devolute I could’ve titled it “Tim Cook sold his own soul to save Apple’s profits”. Maybe that would’ve been more precise.
But he damaged Apple’s reputation alongside his own. And I think calling Apple’s reputation its “soul” isn’t unfair.

@stuartm Yeah I just don’t think Google’s any better. Definitely worse when it comes to privacy. I don’t see it as a real option to switch to, which makes me feel trapped. This duopoly sucks.
@kevinrenskers @stuartm I have been exploring /e/OS on a phone and so far it works fine? My primary annoyance is that in-app purchases do not work (less money to Google, yay!).
In some ways it's a bit of a downgrade. But enough people have to accept a bit of a downgrade so that the alternatives get enough funding to improve.
Best of all, it does not have liquid glass.

Magari per pranzo mangerò tacchino.

@GustavinoBevilacqua @Yaku e come diceva Hume, non è detto che il sole sorga domani.

@andre123 il sondaggio dura una settimana 8-D

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)
-
@oblomov Si, ma la mia condizione (due in realtà) è che l'immortale devo essere solo io, altrimenti non cambia nulla, anzi è peggio. E che quando le cose andranno completamente in merda, e succederà sicuramente, avere la possibilità di ricominciare e rifare tutto meglio. Una specie di reincarnazione ma consapevole.
Lo so che questo pone altri problemi e domande da analizzare.
