Hear, hear! My disillusionment with tech is at full boil at this point. It's gotten to the point where I trust tech products about as much as I'd trust a wild chimpanzee.
Unfortunately, one person boycotting hostile tech is like one person trying to bail out the Titanic with a teaspoon.
- denton-scratch 5y ago> one person boycotting hostile tech So I don't try to boycott; I assume I'm an outlier, and my choices won't make much difference to the supplier. I just stay away from stuff I don't like or disapprove of. Of course, I hope that others -ercing the supplier is a path to unhappiness.will share my views, and that the supplier will notice and change; but it doesn't usually seem to happen. But I'm not upset. I'm just exercising my preferences. Trying to use your preferences as a way of proving a point or coerce the supplier is a path to unhappiness. Exercise your preferences, and be happy that your preferences are satisfied. If your supplier receives a signal, so much the better - but that's the cherry on the cake.
