I’ve done both and I guess I shouldn’t call those both boycotts but people get it, like “I boycott uber because they’re awful” and “I’m using the BDS list to boycott businesses that tacitly support Palestinian genocide.”

Not the same thing but similar behavior. But then I would still try to avoid businesses that tacitly support genocide even if it was just me, so it feels the same.

I’ve got some pretty troubled people in my family, so I’m actually used to it. They’re part of the kaleidescope too ú_ù

Idgi, anecdote for what? Of what? You don’t want to be a part of the kaleidescope? Yeah? You’re a big grump?? You want a hug? 🥹 I’ll hug you, get over here grumpypants 🫱🏻🫱🏻

If i thought my boycott would have any effect …

Respectfully, that’s where you’re going about it wrong imho. You boycott because you personally don’t want to support something.

It has about as much impact as voting in a representative democracy.

If you want to actually affect anything anything bigger than yourself you’ve got to actually become a nuisance. Direct action, campaigns, etc…

Buy anyway! (Haha sorry) The other commenter wasn’t even talking boycotting, just thinking about if you really want to buy something. It’s not a bad idea to think carefully before buying anything.

Do what feels right for you, though. It’s just a game. Just as OS. One is a toy, the other’s a tool.

Lol I can’t even disagree.

I stopped bothering reading specs because my gaming pc (bazzite—yeah I know, I’m extremely lazy) just runs whatever I throw at it. I feel like you’d have to very aggressively develop a game exclusively for windows too manage to get it to not run on Linux these days.

Why you’d dev a game for office computers I’ll never know but we’re all different people making up a beautiful kaleidescope of humanity I guess.
