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.

Just curious, do you buy things from Amazon?

I'm not trying at all to disagree with the idea of being ethical in how you send your dollars, but I'm curious how much is prioritized actual harm to suffering people in the real world when you do this.

Dodging shitty companies is difficult.

Got it, makes sense.

And ha, yeah sorry if it was overly snarky, I just see some people where "oh my GAWD you said the wrong thing in your press release" is their only barometer of ethical behavior and was just wanting to poke at you if that was the case. 🙂
