I often wonder why people think Google is less evil than Apple. The oligarchs aren’t giving us choices. Every big corporation and most small businesses are evil by design. Are people supposed to move into a cabin in the woods and go off grid?
It’s just comfortable living in the mindset that your choise of product tribe somehow makes a difference. People shut down on the thought that pretty much everything is fucked.

They control the de facto search engine. They control the de facto video sharing platform. They’re the biggest ad company in the world. They control what world sees and hears.
I have no doubt they’ve secretly shaped opinion on themselves.
All over the Fediverse. Apple is evil. Never use Apple products.
I switched to Apple because I wanted a way to get away from Google who I feel is more evil than Apple. I didn’t have access to a computer to install GrapheneOS on a Pixel so I bought an iPhone and canceled most of my Google accounts.
My laptop has Fedora on it but we don’t have a Linux phone available.
Both companies are evil, but in different ways so you just pick the side that most closely aligns with your goals.
For me I switched bc Google keeps randomly killing projects so I have no idea what service is going to work and which isn’t. They killed Inbox so I switched to Apple.
That and their ad business.
I want a pure Linux phone now.
….or that cabin in the woods is sounding pretty good.

It does, otherwise Israel wouldn’t pay millions in dollar to combat boycott. They also spend millions to make it illegal to boycott.

Marketing, Apple has many privacy and security ads. While their privacy/security is not different from google.
where you find those people?

Seems like best thing is buy a pixel used and put grapheneOS on it.
Sort of. It’s still a massive PITA and there’s no support updates for the affordable ones.
