How much does a creator's worldview influence whether you use their tech or consume their media?

Watching the drama around kagi unfold and it has me wondering how much you take into consideration a creator’s view on things like homophobia, sexism, racism, etc. when deciding to use a product. I think most of us have a bar somewhere (I would imagine very few on this website would ever consider registering on an altright...

I generally avoid giving meaningful contributions to chuds when possible. I was considering getting a Kagi subscription before, but upon seeing this that is no longer the case.

Have you boycotted JKR

I was never a Harry Potter fan to begin with, but if I were then I would be, yeah.

or dropped your opinion about Picasso

I don’t expect people who died centuries ago to be woke, so probably not. That someone like Picasso would be racist/sexist/queerphobic is a default assumption for me, so that already lowkey colors my perception of them when analyzing their work.

Is it about the general vibe of a product or piece of media, or are you more discerning? What goes into this decision and why?

It’s about applying pressure to provoke capitulation. I want to make clear to both them and everyone watching that being a dipshit in such a way will cost them resources and reputation. This is less effective when the creator is dead, though, so I’m not particularly concerned about their art.

TIL. He’s a lot more recent than I thought.

In regular i3, that feature was added in version 4.22. You should use the i3-gaps fork on your distro if a package for it is available.

Interop with C was given first class support in Rust, so the Rust scene tends to tap into the C ecosystem more than C++'s.

I’ve been using this for awhile now. It looks nice, but it’s a bit sluggish.

I’ve been enjoying Piped for awhile now; it actually shows me a feed that’s exclusively my subscriptions and has SponsorBlock built in.
