SnapChat, Microsoft, and twitter.

Those are the three.

I’d say to boycott them but you already probably have if you’re here

[-] meliaesc@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Snapchat and X, definitely. But microsoft is unavoidable for work.

True, my it department has told me no Linux or libreoffice. One of the it guys wasn’t happy about that rule either

But microsoft is unavoidable for work.

I've worked in fintech almost 10 years and don't recall a single windows machine, let alone a single piece of necessary windows service. Even the sales and marketing people use macs at least

Google and AWS are much harder to with without.

E: also just to note you can personallyboycott tech you're forced to use by work, and even comparing about the company's ethics at work
