Tim Cook is a billionaire. I trust him no more than any other billionaire.
Lest anyone forgets, he’s put money into Trumps inauguration fund, and if I remember correctly, some other things as well.
I’ll keep grabbing refurbished, carrier unlocked androids from Backmarket, and load GrapheneOS on em.
I don’t have any accounts on the fash friendly state-funded/corpo social platforms, but has anyone seen if the developer has made a statement online since the app got relisted?
Either way, I wouldn’t use this app at this point. Not because of anything the developer has done, rather because Google can man-in-the-middle any version of the app he submits. Might sound a little far fetched, but given the continous fealty to this administration, and Google’s deep relationships with Gov entities going back decades…
Well… why trust them to not be supplying whatever alphabet agency with user data?
Yard sales, pawn shops, thrift stores, and the humble library system can help mitigate that money working it’s way up to the coked up pedos that run the film studios.
Absolutely the way to go! I haven’t bought a new phone since 2015. When I can afford it, I’ll grab a laptop to replace my 7 year old HP envy.
