New: #DeAppleification project 🍏
Good hardware, if overpriced ✔️
Bad software & services, deliberately lacking #interoperability ❌
Today, I shut off Apple's closed #iMessage service entirely. Now using #Beeper as a universal inbox, with #Signal, #WhatsApp & #Slack DMs ✅
Goal: shutting off all 🍏 services will make it much easier to switch to cheaper hardware in future. Which is why Apple’s entire business model depends on tying their hardware to their software & services
