“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.

It’s time to boycott Apple
- I've been doing that for decades, the last apple product I used was an Apple ][e. Couldn't resist that sweet Oregon Trail action at the time.
  
  5th Gen iPod Video for me, circa 2006. I actually loved the device, but having to use the trash software that was iTunes is what radicalized me.
  
  I haven't bought new Apple since 2006 as well. Loved the iPod and iTunes from that era. Then the good features got removed and bloated with other shit. That and enshittifing the MacPro line kept me from buying new.
  edit: You use to be able to brows and stream other people's iTunes libraries if you knew their IP address. No friend's list. No family plan. Just the IP address. It was wonderful.
- I'm streets ahead!
- I'm way ahead of you.
  I haven't been buying apple products because they have mediocre hardware for high prices.
- Do you know how formalized boycott by everyone in country is called? A ban. Time to ban it.
  
  Sure let's start a witch hunt banning people and companies who don't align with our unique individual politics. What could go wrong?
  
  Ok, no boycott then. Let's go home.
