en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entire_History_of_You You’ll maybe reevaluate that position after watching this episode of Black Mirror. Endlessly torturing yourself over minute details throughout each day doesn’t sound fun or healthy to me.

I was there. I was there 3,000 years ago…

Exactly. How else are you meant to “catch 'em all!”? It’s a Sisyphean task otherwise

mcsweeneys.net/…/i-work-for-an-evil-company-but-o… This article is a fun read. The system only works because millions of cogs step in line and allow the machinery of that system to work. I have been part of a larger evil system. Because where I grew up that’s what everyone did, you went into the industry propping up the local economy (oil and gas). As I grew older I learned of the evils of fossil fuels, about climate change, and no longer work in oil and gas. I have no intention of ever doing so again. So you could quite rightfully call me a bastard. But I left and will never be returning, does that absolve me of the bastard title? I don’t know. But while you’re actively part of the machinery you’re definitely a bastard. Especially if you’re the part of the machinery that is systemically racist and assaults and restrains people on a daily basis.

Intentions vs actions. All cops are bastards because it doesnt matter what their intentions are when their actions mean they prop up injustice, legal slavery, oppression of the right to protest, and corruption. Cops enforce what their boss tells them to enforce, as is the way in extremely hierarchical organisations. Their intentions no longer matter, they do as they’re told.

This is the internet in the 2020s, I’m now obligated to provide this, in case some fool thinks you’re being serious and genuinely doesn’t see the flaw in your description: /s

Their support isn’t required though, it’s desired. Mozilla have millions of $, they are actively investing in various money making schemes (sorry, financial investment vehicles) well outwith the original scope of Mozilla. They take the money because they want the money, they could refuse it any time they want. But they won’t, because they don’t want to. They’re not a poor FOSS project with an independent developer that needs donations to survive, stop treating them like they are. Mozilla has created some brilliant software, but they’re leaving their original mission behind, burning goodwill with many people around the world, and setting themselves up to be shunned by the open source community the second a viable alternative pops up.

It doesn’t say refuse work. It says refuse the concept that a person’s worth is linked to how much or what type of work they perform. Worth as in human worth, not monetary value. Social standing, respect, etc

You mean this Azure? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Azure#Controversi… How is this not as bad or worse?

It’s just the one swan, actually.
