Just a reminder since Apple is trending; Tim Cook is a POS — just because the company itself is on ✅ DEI lists it doesn’t negate the fact that their head CEO donated $1 million to Donald Dump. Google did the same. If you want to make a difference, stop supporting these companies & platforms 1/2 - ThreadSky

Amen.

See my pinned 📌 thread on my profile for alternatives & options to cut ties & ween yourself off these oligarch platforms / companies which played a huge part in where we are now in the USA & for that matter the world itself.

I downloaded Odysee, but I’ll be honest the transition from YouTube is gonna be a hard one. Although I can foresee a huge jump onto that platform this year. It’s gonna be a goldmine for a lot of up-and-coming content creators.

reaptress.bsky.social•23 days ago

I agree — Google/Youtube will def be one of the toughest ones to cut ties with for a lot of people. I think Odysee currently has the best running shot, the more people who move over there too in protest the better for sure. Lots of opportunity on the table for sure.

it's hard to stop using google because it pretty much controls my phone.

reaptress.bsky.social•22 days ago

That sounds like an excuse that you chose to air out here for whatever reason

stepitupphilyaw.bsky.social•23 days ago

Soooooo what phone do we use if they’ve got Google AND Apple?

allena-bryanne.bsky.social•23 days ago

Windows phone enters the chat

And just like last time, nobody paid them any attention.

Old school Fliphones 😮‍💨

Microsoft is also a problem too, they donated a buttload to his campaign as well.

What we are seeing is the result of monopolies.

I don’t buy new phones, I keep what I have to give them at an all time low - I’m talking hand me downs.

I wish Linux would make phones.

Samsung isn’t perfect, but atleast:

stepitupphilyaw.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yeah, but aren’t android systems just Google? Might be looking at going back to the flip phone.

reaptress.bsky.social•22 days ago

Samsung isn’t owned by either Google, Apple, or Microsoft & it has its own operating system called Tizen

There also seems to be a way to install Linux to Samsung phones as well

stepitupphilyaw.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yup… regulations are necessary. They’re all running around like a class full of bad ass kids with a new substitute teacher. No limits.

kdawg69kt.bsky.social•23 days ago

That’s going to be hard for mobile phone users since both Apple and Google make the major operating systems for them in iOS and Android. Yes Android is made by Google. And all those Android based operating systems on other devices

Samsung has its own operating system called Tizen — the organization itself did not donate to DJT just individuals

It’s an option, sure it’s hard - but it’s out there for the people who want to

Linux as well for computers

reaptress.bsky.social•22 days ago

& As far as browser searches go I already have compiled some options to avoid giving them any more clicks or usage via my pinned thread/comments on my profile for those interested it’s tough but can be done

I’m looking into Magic maps & organic earth as I speak GPS
