“Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump’s inauguration fund, reports Axios. The donation will be a personal donation directly from Cook rather than a donation from Apple”
I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.
Bad gay!
When you’re a traitor to your own kind for the sake of an unquenchable thirst for profit, you become an enemy to LGBTQ+ folks. Siding with the neo-Nazis only makes it worse.
Fuck you, Tim Apple
Steve Jobs would have fired you the instant he thought you might do this. He might’ve been a legendary prick for his entire career, but at least he had a set of ethics and morals.
It’s not just LGBTQ+ folks. Anyone not male, straight, white, christian, republican or natural born is in the firing line.
I think the point is that Tim Apple is all of these things (so he need not care) except straight.
Which is what makes it particularly disgusting when an LGBTQ-aligned individual commits such horrendous acts.
It really goes to show what kind of times we’re living in when Steve Jobbs is the limbo bar to measure good ethics that everyone today is clearing under.
Yeah, as much as I hate Steve Jobs, he would have given Trump the finger on camera back in 2016 had he been alive.
When people shit on Apple - esp Jobs - they forget that it was Jobs who directed the company to fight the FBI to protect our right to on-device encryption. And the FBI backed down because they knew if they went to the Supreme Court, chief Justice, Antonin Scalia, who was a huge supporter of encryption, would guarantee any challengers to that right would lose.
The political climate is different today, but because of Apple fighting for the right of every person to have on device encryption, we all owe him a debt.
Yes, Steve Jobs and chief Justice Antonin Scalia were both immeasurable pieces of shit, but some good came from them. And it’s a lasting good that will ensure the rights of individuals to encrypted their own data, possibly for generations.
Again, I’m not defending either jobs nor Scalia, they were terrible people. But they did do some good.
Scalia was weird as fuck and you could never predict what side of things he would come down on. So sort of like Steve Jobs, I guess. He was far-right, but he also said stuff like the time he said that orgies should be encouraged because they relieve social tension.
Remember a time when he was the worst person on the Supreme Court?
I miss those times.
The man’s got a point there. Hard to argue with orgy logic.
I don’t know, I think once you got that many people together, I’d get performance anxiety.
Fuck Tim Apple, but please do not ever utter the phrase “bad gay” again.
