@marcoarment I'd been using Apple hardware since 1993 and made the decision to exit the Apple ecosystem back in February and I'm glad I did. Anyone can do it. Same for Google and Amazon. Didn't use Microsoft.

Computing is entirely possible without them. It takes a bit of effort to detangle from iCloud, etc but it's well worth it.

GNU/Linux is much better than I'd previously thought. It's actually been fantastic.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he will impose a 100% tariff on semiconductor imports, though companies moving production back to the United States will be exempted. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/07/tech/trump-chips-tariff-apple/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #timcook #semiconductors #apple #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs

I wonder if Apple will end up buying out a notable #ArtificialIntelligence company & improving it from there‽ Or maybe they could experiment with DeepSeek on a Souped-up server‽
