No idea why people are so supportive of this idea all of a sudden… the downvotes make little sense especially here on Lemmy/piefed. Regardless of it being a positive decision it’s still fucking MicroSlop.
Yeah, I do feel too many people would have continued to use HitlerOS after he started the Holocaust, because not supporting genocide would inconvenience them. And yes, compared to microslop supporting a government that (supports a government that) commits genocide, finding a different job is an acceptable ask if one gets upset over being called complicit.
What the fuck are they supposed to do? Burn down the company, and go homeless? As a Linux daily driver (both home and work; I’m just fortunate on the latter), you are making a really dumb argument.
You clearly do not understand the point I am making. It’s not that hard to miss, so it’s more likely that you just enjoy getting offended on behalf of people. Bad habit.
If you still use microslop, you are part of the problem.
Me getting paid - and therefore eating and paying rent - requires me to use the mandated OS on the company-provided gear. It’s a great job, it has a great union retirement package that won’t leave me destitute like my folks and anyone else who went through abject poverty, and in all I accept that trade-off while working to modernize us out of M$. So maybe moderate that crusade a bit before you enter the workforce?
You are reading a “I condemn you” where there isn’t one into “you are part of the problem”.
If I participate to an economy which exploits third world countries for quality of life and luxury, then even if I do not have a choice, I am part of the problem.
Becoming all defensive about it however suggests that you actually don’t give a fuck about using an operating system operated by a fascist enabling corporation, while looking for excuses that it’s “not your fault”.
By that definition, pretty much everyone is part of some problem, which makes the statement a tautology, like saying that all men are human, or all the fish need water to survive.
Who gives a fuck? If you still use microslop, you are part of the problem.

It’s nearly ubiquitous in the workplace. A lot of people don’t have much of a choice.
Still, they are part of the problem. Not as big as their corporate IT or responsible manager, but still a part.
I see you are the type to throw the baby out with the bath water
I mean, maybe the baby didn’t understand the movement, so --yeet!–
Skippy is trying to save the world, you know.

So, good job on contributing nothing.
As someone who runs Linux on all of his own computers, you’re part of many more problems. Grow up.
