Maybe we can all write letters to Tim about how his support for the Trump administration is affecting our lives while we wear our Apple Watches.

@marcoarment On coronation day I cancelled my dormant icloud account (unbelievable rigamarole) amd ebay'd off the hardware. I've since moved completely off all tech platforms originating from #trumpistan
I bet I'm not the only one.
@marcoarment Everyone should send in emails about how their Apple Watch alerted that they might be about to have a stroke when they saw Tim making another bootlicking speech at Trump’s dinner table. 🤪
@marcoarment "LOL suckers" - every single one of them. Every. One.
@marcoarment wait eli5, what did I miss the news lately!?
@marcoarment the chaos of the hybrid of commercial and politics.
@marcoarment you mean the famous Tim apple?
@marcoarment Between me and my spouse we would have normally purchased two pro phones, a new Ultra 3, and AirPods Pro 3. But because of the complicit behavior we’re not buying anything that isn’t broken AND essential. It really sucks because these products look amazing.
@marcoarment - needless to say, I'll be using my current Apple tech for a long, long time before replacing.
Even after they went 'Awe Inspiring'...

@marcoarment I’m sure there’s an app for it.
@marcoarment Heh, send him the heart rate data when you watch the news... :)
@marcoarment Imagine writing letters on devices built with exploited labor, asking a billionaire CEO to suddenly care about democracy. Irony levels: 💯

If anyones looking for an alternative, Sailfish is probably the most mature Linux phone OS.
https://sailfishos.org/
And being somewhat commercial they have cool things like support and some kind of android compatibility layer that I've never seen because they're mostly targeting Europe.
Gnome and KDE are developing fully community based environments, but they still could stand more time to mature before being recommended to non developers
@alienghic Is Sailfish only for Sony Xperia hardware? I can’t seem to find mention of any other devices on their site.
@marcoarment It may not be much, but after Tim Apple donated to the inauguration I called to cancel my Apple Card, and when the service rep asked why I told them it was because of the support for Trump.
Not sure which smart phone to get next - Google is no better (and def worse in some ways) than Apple.

@marcoarment I wonder if they CAN see how unhealthy this is making everyone.
There could be graphs and ppt slides all about it. Tables that correlate stress reactions with purchasing trends...
One of the advertised features is that it calls home and stores this data for you, no?
I bet there's meetings about this.
What you think...is all this good or bad for sales?
@marcoarment “Please try to enjoy each fact equally.”

@marcoarment no apple product here
@marcoarment I was running down a street in Washington DC from the National Guard when my heart rate monitor went off…
@marcoarment Only if your letter says:
Mr. Cook, your support for the Trump administration has made it impossible to continue developing for the App Store. Unlike you, my integrity is not for sale.
Otherwise, you're just another developer supporting the company you decry.
@marcoarment How sad is it that even with all of Apples issues, it's still a better option than Android.
Also, take a shot whenever they say "machine learning", should be blacked out in 20 minutes or so.
@marcoarment Check this out: Don’t buy new Apple product. Encourage your audience not to either. You can take a principled stand.
@marcoarment I had a heart attack when I learned that Tim donated $1 million to a fascist wannabe dictator. Fortunately my Watch called 911 and saved my life so I could continue to watch Tim pander to Dear Leader.
@marcoarment “I was being bundled into an unmarked van by masked ICE agents when my Apple Watch notified me that my heart rate was unusually high”
@marcoarment worth noting no single non USA testimony this year btw
@marcoarment “Tim, I read the news that you gave Trump an Apple ~~Design~~ Dictator Award, and my Apple Watch alerted me that my heart rate was incredibly high. Thank you! That watch always knows when you’re up to some shit.”
@marcoarment they can’t read a room to save their lives.
