They're also adding Starlink to iPhones. And they renamed the Gulf of Mexico in Apple Maps. Donated a million to Trump, and Cook attended his inauguration.

Twice is coincidence. But five examples of collaboration is a clear message.

I've used Apple devices my entire life, all the way back to when the Macintosh was made by Apple Computer. This is the first time I've ever felt like Apple doesn't want my money.

Is anyone maintaining a list of technology companies that aren't collaborating with the far-right?

First of all, consider Linux.

I've been an user for my laptop since many years but decided to move my main computer (a Mini M1) to Pop!_Os on a Lenovo M75q. It's a sweet little machine and so far the switch has been flawless, for my use.

Give it a chance.

The question is are they doing this because they want to or because they have to "or else".

Apple doesn’t “have” to do anything. They could stop selling phones in the US for the next four years and still not burn through their cash.

And they would get sued by their shareholders.

Yup. Everyone makes choices.

Sure, I'll can compile one for you, it's:

That all of them!

Also known as the elected government.

Elon wasn’t elected.

Debatable. He was on the podium with Trump before the election and saying he wanted to set up DOGE to cut government waste.

They then got elected winning the popular vote and every swing state. It tough for companies selling to the American public to say ok you voted for this lot but you are idiots so we are having nothing to do with them.

Sure he was. I voted for what he's doing right now.

Then I personally feel you are just ignoring the constitution and separation of powers to suit your own immediate goals, rule of law be damned.

The republic is in mortal peril because of your attitude
