You don’t have to imagine, you can see a scene like this in Better Call Saul

… this wasn’t a thing already? Better late than never I guess

More like the reverse in my experience. Users fight each over the most petty things

Credit where credit is due, Apple did fight against FBI over something like this.

Same. I have a gaming PC with Windows 11 only use it for gaming. Everything else, I do it on my laptop.

Nowadays games that don’t run are rare but they still exist. One of my favorite games, BF1, sadly stopped working on Linux after they introduced anti cheat (on the other hand, at least now there are no cheaters spamming artillery)

I also have a meta quest and the best software to link the headset to the PC, Virtual Desktop, sadly also doesn’t work on linux

Apple does spy on you, but unlike Google and Microsoft, they don’t sell your data.

But you still have to decide if you trust them with your info

Linux is the way to go* if you absolutely want to avoid any kind of spyware

*be mindful of the distro you choose. Some do have telemetry

This is wrong. Google will now share Android code after each new Android release, instead of releasing over time in real time. This is not uncommon in open source projects.

I’m not defending, or claiming that they won’t try to make Android closed source eventually in the future, but right now what you said isn’t correct

A one-week boycott is completely ineffective by design.

Amazon’s executives aren’t sweating over losing a week of your business. They’re a trillion-dollar company that thinks in quarters and years, not days. They’ll gladly wait out this symbolic week of inconvenience.

The moment you put an expiration date on your boycott, you’ve surrendered all leverage. They have zero incentive to change anything because they know you’ll be back ordering Prime deliveries next Monday.

Real - actual - boycotts work by creating genuine economic pressure that forces companies to reconsider their practices. They require commitment, not just temporarily pausing your shopping habits.

Emphasis on >habits<, because we’re not talking about political parties, it’s a shop. A humongous shop for sure, but still a shop, and you can buy what you want from other places.

If you want to actually impact Amazon, you need to be willing to walk away indefinitely until they address your concerns. Otherwise, it’s just performative.

That’s so stupid. Boycott only works if it’s indefinite, because you want the company to try to win you back.

If you say that you are coming back, what exactly are you expecting to happen? They’ll change nothing because you already said that you are coming back

This sub is delusional

This meme says:

• windows 8 somehow is more beloved than Windows 10 (lmao)
• linux is just one single OS, instead of an agglomerate of hundreds of distributions
• and implies that every single one of them got better with time (lmao)

Who made this meme forgot about android lol

It already exists: ₿

Complacency does that to you

Nokia knows
