Apple-CEO Tim Cook könnte kommendes Jahr aufhören
Einem Medienbericht zufolge bereitet Apple das Ende von Tim Cooks Zeit als CEO vor. Für die Nachfolge gibt es einen Favoriten.
King Charles III called for the defense of Ukraine and the environment as he welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump and top tech and finance executives for a lavish state dinner at Windsor Castle. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/18/world/apple-citi-trump-king-charles/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #kingcharlesiii #apple #timcook #citi #janefraser #nvidia #jensenhuang #blackstone #steveschwarzman #arm #renehaas #rupertmurdoch #us #donaldtrump #uk
A lot of Apple enthusiasts are disgusted with #Timcook and #Apple given the recent display of bootlicking.
I'm going to keep suggesting that we are all free to walk away from Apple's services. Your next computer can use #GNU#Linux. And before you dismiss it, have you tried it? Folks, I promise you, it is possible to have great and productive computing experience over here. The #FreeSoftware movement embraces ethical #computing with a core respect for users' freedom.
U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, are hosting an artificial intelligence event for tech CEOs including Meta's Mark Zuckerberg in the White House's newly renovated rose garden. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/04/tech/trump-meta-zuckerberg-rose-garden/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #tech #meta #markzuckerberg #apple #timcook #microsoft #satyanadella #us #donaldtrump #melaniatrump
Many reasons, inspired by emotion and logic. I think those can work well together. I embrace and use my rage.
Rather than rehash here, I'll just say I have many posts dealing with it including a recent post dedicated to ethics and computing.

I’ve had to swallow some shit in my lifetime catering to donors in the not-for-profit arts game. I’ll carry that taste to my grave. So will these guys.
Bending Over Backwards To Bend The Knee

I'm so deeply disgusted but not surprised. We've all come to associate MAGA with the red hat, but it's time we start thinking of them in terms of Nazi arm bands. That's the cold, bone-chilling truth of it.
Nazis empowered by daily privacy invading data tracking.
With this boot-licking stunt, Tim Cook might as well have worn such an arm band to his photo-op and may as well fly the flag out front of Apple HQ.
This is what the decline of the American empire into authoritarianism, narcissist feudalism and the cult of ignorance looks like. All of this is on the home pages of the „NYT“ and the „Washington Post“ right now. None of this is normal. There will be lasting, massive damage.
Imagine Hitler with his Nazi arm band. Imagine all of the people under him, with their Nazi armbands. Imagine any businessman that might called in, standing in front of him, also with their Nazi arm bands. Now imagine Trump with his armband and Tim Cook. Imagine Tim Cook with his arm band. Imagine Apple headquarters, flags out front.
And then there's you. What will you do.
Ethics are not easy. You DO have a choice.

So what are everyone’s excuses for Tim Cook’s behavior this time?
Wake up. He’s an overt Trump supporter, and has been the entire time.
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‽
