what do you get out of defending a white supremacist using this term? unless you feel entitled to using it?

wasn’t aware it’s possible to say the n word non-seriously. you must be white

didn’t know making Nazi jokes and saying the n word as a grown man is immature. curious how easily white men get infantilized so they can avoid accountability

I fail to see how welcoming Nazis like him benefits the Linux community

anyone buying this is funding the genocide against trans people

reminder that Microsoft is on the BDS boycott list. the workers won’t be seeing any money from a 2016 game so you might as well obtain it through unofficial means 😉

TIL starvation is a choice. you are disgusting

they aren’t killing themselves, the system of exploitation is. please stop shifting the blame to some of the poorest people on earth who can choose between shitty jobs like this and starving

Reminder that the USSR collapsed because they got their asses kicked in Afghanistan

believe it or not, it’s possible for 2 things to be true at the same time. ACS is cool even though Ubisoft is evil. what you call virtue signaling is just people having interests

these are true hackers living the DIY spirit, much respect to them!

yeah, a bunch of unions have already put out support statements for BDS. list them as an example for your own union to follow

maybe they could use a donation model like fediverse instances do

wrong, no other cloud provider offers the same military services that Microsoft does

institutions should divest from future and present contracts. most consumers don’t have contracts with Microsoft. selling your electronics doesn’t hurt them in any way nor is that something that BDS asks for on their website:

as a bazzite user, it’s kinda ironic that they’re dependent on GitHub cloud to keep their updates going. I wonder if they have a non-apartheid version?

start with the stuff that’s easy to get rid of and the rest will snowball down the line.

as for your workplace using Microsoft, nobody expects you as an individual to force your company to stop using them. the best way to achieve that in my opinion is through unions and collective actions.

a question to parents/guardians of kids playing Minecraft or other Microsoft games:

if they uninstall the Microsoft version of Minecraft and switch to a pirated launcher, does that respect the BDS demands? also, does playing it on Linux Mint from the Software Manager benefit Microsoft in any way?

I’m aware of similar media boycotts such as SAG/AFTRA telling people not to promote targeted media projects publicly. Ofc, BDS is a different organization but I’m hoping someone could clarify if not promoting Minecraft while still playing is sufficient? I’m not personally invested in continuing to play, but would like to find ways to inspire my young relative to consume consciously.

they answer your question in detail on their own website
