    Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Reddit, X, Tesla, Sweet Green, Chick-fil-A, etc.

    Google/Facebook: spyware

    Microsoft: Windows is spyware and I’m just done with Windows. There are many better options for software.

    Reddit: CEO is a prick. Gone the way of Facebook

    X/Tesla: CEO is a prick, racist and anti-semite

    Sweet Green: CEO blacklisting students for protesting war

    Chick-fil-A: Run by far right bigots

        I meant to add In-N-Out… but I do avoid it, mostly because the food isn’t good and is all over hyped.

        Never been to Hobby Lobby

        I’d say that my wife is boycotting Hobby Lobby despite crocheting a ton, but that would imply that she’s shopped there in the past. Still, we’ll occasionally pass by one and laugh about how we’d never go in there.

            Usually how these things work is that it’s either employees donating and having to list their employer. Or the employer will match any donation to a non profit from any employee up to a certain amount.

            So this could be 1 employee donating 3k and Microsoft matching it

              Ouch. Code of conduct may need a review over there in Redmond.
