I don’t put up with for-profit companies any more than I have to. I don’t support them or do charity work for them. Corporate brands are not out friends.
Do you think that’s a clever gotcha? I said, “I don’t put up with for-profit companies any more than I have to.”
Edit to add: For a free & commercial free & non-profit social media platform with a FOSS focus, there’s a surprising amount of corpo simping going on here.

So, I suppose, every company should be non-profit, in your eyes? Everyone should just volunteer their time? I’m just wondering how your utopian society is supposed to function?
You’re never going to have free computers. Framework represents the opposite of everything big corpos stand for.
Businesses can be for-profit and still ethical. In fact, the vast majority of them are. It’s only the wildly wealthy and powerful ones that are shit. Taking a stand against them is incredibly naive and ignorant.
Okay so you’re just delusional then. Glad we sorted that out!
I don’t suppose you work for a profit? Your landlord let’s you live for free in their house? Fuckin Ruth’s Chris steakhouse just says “ah, you good bruh!” at the checkout counter?
Well that’s your prerogative but I’ve no idea what that has to do with this conversation. Nobody should be allowed to do it because you don’t want to do it?
Companies ask for feedback so they can make products people actually want to buy…you have a problem with that as well?
I won’t even volunteer feedback to companies when they ask for it, and they incessantly ask for it.
Well its not gonna get any better by not supporting the companies that try to do better.

It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism.
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.

Maybe I should start charging you a monthly fee for access to lemmy.ml.
