Russia and Belarus make sense, but not inviting Iran? There are far worse governments out there than Iran…

A few massive differences:

  • You opt-in to targeted tracking with Apple. It’s impossible to opt-out with Google. Apple also enforces per-app opt-in for tracking.

  • Apple use your data, but they don’t sell it on

  • Apple features protect you from 3rd party tracking at a software level (Private Relay) and hardware level (MAC randomisation)

No, it’s not a mistake.

I mean, the product is being sold as a way to commit suicide, so it’s hardly surprising that many of the people who bought it are now dead.

You’re the one simping for the companies that are making the planet unliveable for future generations for their own profit.

Plenty of evidence for what I claimed, google it yourself if you want:

Oil companies (via “independent film makers”) have been paying influencers to shit on Tesla, ever since Tesla became a viable threat to big oil and legacy auto. Nothing new here.

Italy wouldn’t want to start that conversation - the city of Rome has more Egyptian obelisks than Egypt.

If you have other Apple devices, so you can make use of features like AirPlay, the Apple TV is a no-brainer.

The post office system is socialist, so are functions like public roads, and fire and police services.

I’d argue that having the government provide a service isn’t enough to call something socialist. In “The Wealth of Nations”, Adam Smith said that in a free-market economy, the governments role was to provide defence, law and order, and public works (eg. roads and education). If we’re using Marx’s definitions for communism, then surely we have to use Smith’s definitions for Capitalism.
