A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

People do care about Eich's beliefs, or this discussion wouldn't even be happening.
There's nothing wrong with being a furry, and trying to compare it as though it's equivalent or worse than being a shitbag bigot is bullshit.
If you know that the people who run a company are bigots and you continue to use their products and services, you are giving your explicit approval to who they are and what they do. "if the product is good, it is good" absolutely fucking not. Goods and services don't exist in a vacuum.
Bro, most people don't even care about their own privacy and keep using edge/chrome in windows. Some lemmy users care about Eich's beliefs, like you, but most people don't.
I am not even sure what that list supposed to prove either...
I am sure CEOs of banks or oil companies are totally not bigots who absolutely despise poor's, that's I feel fine using their products!
Please tell me this is sarcasm
