I mean I don’t use any Facebook products and won’t use any Facebook products? Nothing wrong with being brand conscious, and I don’t like the brand.
I assert the world would only be a better place if we had more reasons not to buy shit we don’t need.
- ggm 1y agoYou have to pick your fights. If you decide to boycott AWS for instance, which is totally justified, your surface of risk if you include supply chains to people you aren't boycotting is huge, as we just got reminded. I have a story about an internet figure who harboured a long term grudge against Adobe and so sought to avoid PDF and that's pretty hard to do. Submitting tender documents is basically impossible. Yes plain ascii should suffice.
- bigyabai 1y agoAvoiding PDF is a perfectly admirable thing to do. When people avoid Chromium everyone treats them like a royal knight, but with PDFs they're a luddite? I'll boycott Luckey's laptop just like I boycott Cook's and Pichai's. I don't need the satisfaction of one-man-armying their entire company to smithereens, I simply don't want any of my paycheck furthering their failures of a business. It saves me time, money, and hours of existential dread relating to whether or not I'm the baddie. If they won't stand by their principles, I'm happy to do it for them.
