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

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

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 5 points 1 year ago

Well I'm sold.

[–] Aabbcc@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] Nurgle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

What did Spotify do to deserve a spot?

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Oh boy, a whole lot. I was compiling a list, but it turns out that Spotifys shady business practices has a whole wikipedia page. Not sure if it's included in there but Joe Rogan. Just everything about the Joe Rogan deal. As well as their ties to the military industrial complex. It's less "what have they done?" and more "what haven't they done?"

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

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 14 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.

Could all be summed up in the last one: capitalism

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well the camera one doesnt technically have to be capitalism.

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

Can't say I understand the point you're trying to make. Are you saying these things should not be hated?

[–] Kra@mtgzone.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

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.
