Hey. Tim.
You paid the extortion money, kissed the ring, and now you're all busted up about Minneapolis?
Get fucked.

I don't disagree but I would add that the problem goes deeper than Tim Cook's disgusting behavior. At least his conduct is out in the open. There's a lot going on with Apple that should have users questioning their continued use of its products. But let's be honest, it's not just Apple. All of US-based big tech is making user hostile decisions.
#BigTech has been enjoying a free ride for decades because their shiny gadgets have so many enraptured. It's past the time to take a hard look at that.
@dennyhenke I absolutely agree that we need to crack down on the excesses and behavior of BigTech. The move fast and break things then ask for forgiveness later garbage was always wrong and should have been stopped long ago. Silicon Valley has changed since I got involved with it quite a while ago, so much so, that I no longer want anything to do with Silicon Valley and big tech, in general, work wise.
Hopefully, the EU and Canada can lead the way to viable open source alternatives to Microsoft, Facebook, social media and the like. I’d like to see the US and state governments drop MS for #LibreOffice, for example. That move would make it easier for a wider public shift.
I have to say that I’m a big Apple products fan. That’s why I’m so disappointed with Tim Cook. Maybe there are other things going on within Apple as you say of which I’m not aware. That would not be good either.

Tim Cook, Apple CEO is causing serious harm to Apple’s brand.
Cook’s presence at the White House screening of Melania on Saturday should be the last straw for Apple shareholders and the Apple Board of Directors. There is nothing to justify his presence other than sheer clueless stupidity.
Cook is harming Apple’s brand through his association with Trump. Cook’s actions:
- Personally gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee
- Apple/Cook is/has donated to Trump’s ballroom
- Cook attempting to curry favors from Trump with trivial gifts and attendance at Mara Lago and the WhiteHouse
Cook’s actions will not benefit Apple. Association with Trump always leads to negative outcomes and will only harm Apple’s brand.
There’s no excuse or justification for Cook’s actions. It’s time for Tim Cook to go.

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
