I believe that the grounds for boycotting HP should not be linked to its association with Israel in any manner.
The legitimate reasons for boycotting HP lie in its substandard customer treatment and the gradual decline in the quality of its products and services.
When individuals boycott companies due to their ties with Israel, it only intensifies my inclination to support those companies.
We should focus on HP's bad technology, not politics. Bringing politics in just confuses the main issue.
I was once taught a proverb that instantly comes to mind when dealing with mentally challenged individuals like you:
"Washing a donkey's head wastes water, time, and soap."
A French person is a person that identifies with French culture, history and way of living. Killing strangers in the name of ~~allah~~ should make you automatically not French, and definitely not European.
Laws are not eternal and must change according to events of the current times. The time we live in clearly calls for a change of these laws, or France will no longer be France, nor European.
That would be the best thing that can happen to France. France is almost no longer inhabited by French people. It is barely Europe at this point.
Tech journalism has always been like this.
To avoid the terrible feeling of cringe, I always tried to steer clear of this kind of article, especially when it's written by someone who doesn't know shit about the content but still decides to talk about it.
This is ~~probably~~ the most stupid and useless article I read in the last months. It feels like it was written by a 6 year old with access to DALL-E.
I tried so hard to make it happen, but the ethics guidelines of DALL-E 3 are a huge pain in the ass and won't allow it. I am considering switching to other platforms.
I believe in evaluating a tech company based on its technological merits and customer service quality, rather than its political connections or decisions.
However, if the boycott shifts to a political basis, specifically regarding Israel, it aligns the act of boycotting HP with the stance of supporting Hamas/Palestine, a viewpoint that is definitely not universally accepted. This politicization could render the boycott ineffective, as it then appeals only to those opposing Israel, not those focused on HP's technological and service shortcomings.
