Embrace, extend, and extinguish. They literally documented it as being their strategy. Now the justice department is chasing Google who despite being bad, at least provides enough source code where people have created privacy-focused derivatives of Android. I'd much rather see them go after Microsoft first but the government relies on Microsoft, and Microsoft relies on our tax dollars going to the government so they can get them.

Kill Google, kill Apple, kill Meta, kill Amazon. I'm not sure whether killing Apple is necessary - despite their problems, they at least have an honest business model (of profiting off a cult). I think yes, split them too.

They've taken to designing unrepariable e-waste garbage. let em burn

Decided then.

And that round building of theirs should be demolished, only Apple fans can think it looks futuristic.

I think it would make a wonderful homeless shelter.

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I guess as a homeless shelter it'd be fine. There's some value in all the glassy parts too - hydroponics would combine well aesthetically with a shelter.

However, the space inside it should be treated carefully, or it can turn into something similar to Soviet micro-districts in the criminal sense.

Again, maybe making it some kind of a huge pond and releasing fish there is a good idea? I dunno.

I’m not going to defend Apple against being broken up, but those other companies are on a whole different level when it comes to invasion of privacy.

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'd say Apple is just a step or two behind on that.

One most important to murder is Microsoft.

I don't really understand how Embrace, Extend, Extinguish is relevant to this, would you mind explaining?

Since Satya Nadella became CEO, Microsoft has advertised itself as a pro-opensource company despite never open sourcing its primary consumer-facing products like Windows & Edge. This initially attracted a lot of open source developers that Microsoft gladly hired, to turn around and turn their OS into a spyware organization.

Microsoft learned that if they collected a bunch of data and shared it with the intelligence agencies, while making their OS a telemetry warehouse that tracks nearly everything you do, then they'd be able to attract and onboard the entire US government while making it nearly impossible for them to switch away in the future. At this point forensic companies aren't shy that Windows is the worst choice for privacy.
