Also from the article: "It’s one thing not to expect political activism from large corporations, but to compromise your stated values all in the name of business as usual simply exposes that your values never meant anything in the first place. Lopatto called it right: cowards."

I would say the same thing about Apple users that refuse to take any action themselves. As is the usual, throw up hands, claim there is nothing I can do.

FUCKING MAKE THE EFFORT or stop pretending you have values.

"No number of customers will desert Apple over this that will make so much as a ding on the company’s bottom line. And even if they did, there is only one real alternative, Google, which is doing the exact same thing. The only thing that can force these corporations to act is government regulation—and whoops, this administration has not only pulled the rug out from under its regulatory agencies, it also literally employed the chief perpetrator."

See, this NOT TRUE. Why give up without trying?

Here are some sceenshots of Mint on a 2018 Lenovo laptop I bought for $250 on Ebay. I'll be able to use this laptop for many years to come, far longer than any Mac computer runs macOS.

It boots faster than an M1 MacMini running macOS. Apps launch faster than they do on the Mac. No #Apple #surveillance. Full control of MY device with a free, #privacy respecting OS produced by people concerned not with profit but with making a great OS. Same for the #FreeSoftware I use everyday.
