Jeff ShengWhy is it that I trust Tim Cook far more than #Zuck or #Musk? This crossed my mind today as the other two #billionaires have been whining about #Apple the past few days (boo hoo! Apple won’t let me snoop on my users!). Certainly Apple has its own share of issues but I feel far less slimy using my iPhone than when I open up #Facebook or #Twitter (which I am hardly doing nowadays). #Tech #MuskVsCook #ZuckVsApple

🇳🇿@jeffsheng None of those corporations is good. They're all poisoned by the very model they're built upon. https://davelane.nz/megacorps
@lightweight yeah, not a huge fan of the massive consolidation of companies, and sadly, there have been few corporations I actually think are ever good. The bar is literally “Are you not extremely terrible?” 😂
@jeffsheng my preferred approach is to depend on none of them. I'm managed to more or less achieve that, except for Google Maps when travelling (to augment OpenStreetMaps.org for finding businesses and making pubtrans arrangements).
@lightweight sadly, work requires computers and a phone that I can do work on, so I defaulted to apple over other options. But if given the choice, I’d gladly unplug and move to a remote island somewhere :)
@jeffsheng I've been fortunate enough to find sustainable employment in a way that allows me to live my values. I've quit jobs that, for example, would've forced me to use MS Windows. I've never owned an Apple product.
@lightweight Academia (a job that I love where I can do my best with my values) just doesn’t give me those options.. pick which work computer? Apple or one with Microsoft :/
@jeffsheng and, to be clear, I work in academia, too.
