Tim Cook sold Apple's soul

Apple used to stand for something. Now Tim Cook gifts golden statues to Trump, removes apps at the administration's request, and cozies up to accused rapists at White House screenings. The company I once admired has become morally bankrupt, but leaving the ecosystem feels almost impossible.
@kevinrenskers - I just switched my daily driver from mac to linux.
I switched from Windows to Mac when the Mac mini first came out. Mine was the first one sold in Germany (out of a first-day shipment of six :-)
For Messages, consider Signal. Similar integration on mobile and desktop: text, call, and video.
My big hurdle was Photos. Digikam works for me now.
Still, some things don't work, yet. Bit once I figure it out, they will.
I've felt for years that macs have been deteriorating ever faster, with no solution in sight.
Feels good now.
