Apple donates $0, we say nothing.
Apple donates $250, out comes the torches and pitchforks.
We only care because money was given. $250 > $0, so on the whole, it is a good deed. In perspective, Apple having hundreds of billions available, does make the donation look like a slap in the face.

- Retric 6y agoPeople very much complain in years Apple donates 0$.
- brutal_chaos_ 6y agoGood to know! It seems when money is given the crowd is louder, however. But that could just be my perspective.
- pydry 6y ago>Apple donates $0, we say nothing. I definitely remember this being discussed on HN previously. IIRC somebody even said that they were donating by hiring people who worked on BSD.
