I just contacted them, and they are not yet hearing from Patriots about how the company is helping the Chinese dictatorship by dropping the app that the protesters use for coordination. Also, Apple is threatening to drop Twitter from the Apple Store because the company believes in censorship, not free speech.
Go woke, go broke. Call and chat with the main company, and contact the Apple stores. Mention a pending boycott. Make it so these assholes can't walk the street. Spread the word. You guys are really good at that.
And, most important, look at Linux for your next computer, and a Musk phone if that happens ("Musk phone" sorta works, doesn't it?). I hope to hell Elon makes a phone. Any suggestions on hardware for a machine with Linux OS?
Send Apple on the downward spiral now enjoyed by Disney, Netflix, FaceBook, and Amazon. And don't forget Bed, Bath, and Beyond when they dropped My Pillow. You Patriots are kicking ass! Now it's time for Apple.
I’m running Debian Bullseye on a 2008 white MacBook, with a GUI that I (serious geekery ahead) built from the minimal iso piece by piece. It runs blazingly fast for a 15 year old machine, and even in 64 bit mode with a workaround. I’ve run Ubuntu 22.04 on the same machine, and it was definitely usable. My point here is not to brag or show off, but to show that even old Core 2 Duo machines can run the latest open source OS and software and be very usable, but for people new to Linux, I’d forgo the Apple machines and grab an old PC, which don’t need workarounds.
