Tim Cook sold Apple's soul

@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.
@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?

@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.
