Maybe that’s why they were mentioned when asked which one doesn’t deserve to be boycotted.

Zenbach,

Nah Costco is legit

FUTO although I don’t like their source available license as I would prefer FOSS.

It’s been out like a week, do you even really know them yet?

257m,

Not really but I’ve watched a few of their videos and they generally seem like nice people they donate monthly to OSS projects and they seem to be operating at a loss.

I think as louis rossman said in his video its generally for the best although I would like for Rossmans software to be fully open sourced it’s not like he doesn’t have his reasons for not fully open sourcing his software he doesn’t want his software to be modified for illicit gains and used to spread malware on storefronts which I think is a good enough reason for not open sourcing his software although there are probably some better ways of handling this situation

landflucht, in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

Tobacco and oil companies. All of them.

I think the main take away is that this applies to most, if not all, publicly traded companies?

Duamerthrax,

There’s a few that fill non critical roles, but generally once you’re publicly trade, things go to shit chasing the quartiles. You can’t simple exist as steady state and cater to your employees and customers while living slightly more then modestly.

NSFWemy, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

Point to the anesthesiologist, “Yo, this guys got the good stuff! Anyone else want a hit?”

In this thread:

Let’s boycott the gaming company that we disagree with! Also I guess that company that’s using literal child slavery for their chocolate. Quite the disconnect here, I don’t think the people making Mario games deserve the same punishment as the people buying up all of the housing market because they can in order to rent out said houses to the same people who were originally trying to buy them

Right? While entire families sleep outside, let’s make a corporation whose sole purpose is to buy up all the cheap homes to make Air BnBs out of them. Totally the same thing.

Aabbcc,

Let’s boycott the gaming company that we disagree with

You mean the ones promoting gambling mechanics to children? Not as bad as the chocolate industry I agree but still willing to kill their audience if it means more returns

dingus, in What nicknames have you been given?

Probably Boring

craftyindividual, (edited ) in what is you're phone journey?

Dunno why this got downvoted, it’s a great question:

Nokia 3310 - legendary, got stolen

Moto Timeport 7382i

Sony CMD J70 - dial operation menu

Sony Ericsson T610 - joystick got fluff jammed.

LG Viewty - mediocre iPhone imitation but great slow motion vids 120fps

Blackberry Curve 8520 - batteries heat and swell when browsing!All the apps were shit, and no games. … but the physical qwerty keyboard was divine though - fastest I have ever typed AND accurately!

iPhone 4S - solid

Samsung (not sure which) too small

Moto G7 Power - 4 years still sweet.

Gotta love old Firefox on any platform, never lets me down

“Damn, I really need to take a shit…”

Hindufury, in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

Vanguard and Blackrock. Their retirement fund allow them to have a significant share of major companies when compared to individuals

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the 224 (so far) comments… but another bad guy worth hating is

Hewlett Packard.

Their

“Hey, you need to have our proprietary ink cartrige in your HP inkjet printer plus scanner to print AND to scan as well. The scanner won’t work when you are out of ink”

Is just plain fuckery.

Mr. Scott, beam me up.

FrankFrankson, in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

Most of them. There are no “good” corporations only ones that are currently tolerable.

neptune, (edited ) in Do the right wing women in relationships with right wing guys think it's like a draco malfoy thing where they're a good guy underneath?

Obviously everyone is different. Etc. But you should read this article.

Basically this one woman immerses herself in the worst corners of the new right.

Come for the schadenfreude, stay for the man who won’t eat ketchup.

WldFyre,

Aw damn it’s paywalled

neptune,
WldFyre,

Thanks!

slowwooderrunsdeep,

wooow. that was a wild article.

“this (ketchup) doesn’t taste European”… uhhh, no shit dude, tomatos are a New World food.

all sincerity, thank you for sharing that.

neptune,

I love that essay so much. I reread it occasionally. I think about the man who won’t eat ketchup pretty frequently.

Mango, in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

Every auto maker lobbying against right to repair and every phone maker who remotely accesses people’s phones.

EA is actually getting better. Activision Blizzard, though…
