Holy shit, how bad does it have to be that Facebook doesn't even make the list?!

Or EA. So much for their sense of pride and accomplishment.

Damn, that's a low-effort meme

We also have beans, and beef stroganoff

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Well I'm sold.

I don't know if effort is what's holding this meme back. The premise itself is awful

No Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Spotify, or apple?

Google seems front and center too after the recent “privacy” updates to chrome (the web browser with 2/3 the global market share).

Could all be summed up in the last one: capitalism

Well the camera one doesnt technically have to be capitalism.

All of "triple AAA" Gaming, i.e.: Activision-Blizzard, Ubisoft, Microsoft (classic), ...

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every time I see Activision-Blizzard mentioned I feel morally obligated to remind/inform people that when Activision-Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick gave himself a $40 million bonus, there were employees who could not afford the food at the company cafeteria.

Also, when I Googled "blizzard employees" to find that article, one search suggestion was "breast milk". If you don't feel like you hate the company enough already, look into that.

Thank you. I already follow Stephanie Sterling's work. ;)

Oracle, IIRC they are/were the biggest data gatherer.

now im scared to use anything because i know im gonna becom edependent on it and then its gonna go to shit

[–] Cargon@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

The key is focus your time and effort on the ones that are really important to you, and be able to adapt to changes. This way you can make the switch to a less abusive product / platform / tool / whatever it is more easily when it inevitably goes to shit.

This is the user-side responsibility of interoperability.

I had been starting to develop a unity game just as a hobby. RIP.

You're forgetting the guy with the second biggest mug in the world.

The Internet is way older than the majority of these things, but I still appreciate the spirit of your post.

[–] ZWho63@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Post in the comments additions to my list; I wanted to add more but I missed some.
