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

[–] son_named_bort 32 points 9 months 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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Well I'm sold.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months 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 7 points 9 months 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?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 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 16 points 9 months 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. ;)

Could all be summed up in the last one: capitalism

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Well the camera one doesnt technically have to be capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

None of them have to.

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

[–] TheCheddarCheese 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

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

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

Unity does not qualify as "internet thing"

[–] Donkter 3 points 9 months ago

Also if they're considered on the level as all these other companies there needs to be dozens more at that table before them.

Bring back the old Soviet Internet, before it was privatised!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Whenever something or someone appears on the internet they have a grace period where small mistakes are forgotten and bigger ones are forgiven, but eventually the time runs out and everybody will hate you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Pretty much any mainstream social media imo

[–] Z3k3 2 points 9 months ago (3 children)
