Musk is doing more than just promoting social strife with his active dismantling of public services. Ask yourself how American it is to kill organizations like the CFPB which protect citizens from corporate fraud. So much of the "fraud" they've "exposed" is entirely inflated or fictitious. Think.

personally I've had issues with the windows update service making certain software on my PC run way worse so I have to constantly disable it to make my computer usable. It's insane to me that Windows forces such a shitty process to run CONSTANTLY that is supposed to just check for updates.

It pains me to death that Thief is not a viable build but I'll die before I try literally any other archetype in an RPG

you're not thinking libertarian enough, this is an opportunity to disrupt the vaccine industry by launching an ICO with $FLUCOIN. Mine coins with Proof of Shot.

ur right, I get passionate about coffee and annoying on the internet

I'm a coffee roaster and burning coffee is painful to witness. I'm convinced most people with this opinion just haven't had good coffee yet, especially if you use blonde roast (starbucks marketing) as a term.

I refactored an entire internal company tool during the week of Christmas because my work was being misappropriated by executive incompetence (trying to force a licensed frontend onto it costing 30k/year, I achieved better and for free). After a reorg my tool is still in use and they're gone.

One day will not even be a blip in financial reporting, I promise you that. If this does compound and actually lead to greater change then that is a good thing, I am just not confident that it will based on the history of similar blackouts. I think stronger messaging would go further than this.

okay, that's great for you and your group. The messaging here should focus instead on long-term change if that is the goal.

What do you think my argument is and why do you disagree with it
comment in response to

I was directly responding to "it worked for the bud light weirdos", in the post you replied to I was responding to a one day blackout. How else should I read "it" here?

They outright boycotted it and very vocally, it was not a one-day action.

I hear you and appreciate your feedback, but I am not a fan of tone policing. If I think something is dumb I am going to say it.

that's good, I think the best way to contribute is by directly engaging with people and helping them to find alternatives. That was the initial intent of my reply.
comment in response to
post
and that is why I am saying this is ultimately a pointless action, if you do not have a clear outcome or even a way of measuring success then what is the point? This is hoping that by priming people who are already receptive to such things, it will lead to them changing independently?
comment in response to
post
then that should be more explicit in the messaging, otherwise it just reads as "fight the power by not shopping from Amazon for just today!" No alternatives are given, no long term action is even recommended, how would you expect to build any momentum that way?

though it seems like you're not asking this earnestly, here's something I found with a quick web search that looks like a good jumping off point: ethical.net/resources/?r...
If you are serious about making a change, just start looking for replacements where you can. Again, happy to help you.

One day doesn't make a difference if you go back to the status quo on the next, it has to be a sustained and permanent change. I have seen this exact boycott advertised many times and what effective change has it created? I think it just makes people feel warm inside but requires no commitment.

Happy to help, what are you looking for?

Way to miss the point completely, I don't understand why you're arguing with me here. Sure it's hard to start new habits but is that not a reason to start? I said advocate for long term change, that means making an effort over time, not drop everything today.

Love that this pops up every once in a while and like 3% of the US population gets to feel like consumer heroes for a day. How about making a permanent change to your habits and advocating for long term change? Cancel your subscriptions, start using FOSS alternatives. One day does nothing.

Could not have dropped at a better time just as my tower bricked and I was planning on upgrading my parts for a local LLM hosting build, literally right in my budget too, you guys are a godsend.

Mirror's Edge / Catalyst come to mind, how did they make a parkour game in an open city feel so tedious and boring compared to the original?

That's not entirely true, that's just what the big players wanted everyone to believe so they could maintain an image of superiority. DeepSeek made some huge optimizations in their training approaches which is largely why it is so efficient and less costly.

It's great to have a counterbalance to the current trends of always online, ephemeral licensing, you will own nothing hell that is modern software services.
