So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.
oracle
Isn’t that an unwritten given by now? If not why not?
Tf is oracle?
A really shitty tech company.
Oracle hires more lawyers than they do developers then they do things like “oh? You’re using this product in the cloud with the license you purchased? But you didn’t purchase the cloud license”
They also buy technology and proceed to violate whatever license it has, like ZFS.
Favorite thing I ever read is that oracle has hostages not customers
I’m going to steal that
They bought zfs? Ffs
Yeah long time ago. But they never contributed their chances back to the open source project basically leaving it to languish
Well… another reason, then.
Thank-you.
Stands for One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison, not officially but I like to think it is. It’s a corporation built around a database engine.
They have a well deserved terrible reputation based on their commercial practices, including but not exhaustive, shipping full fledged software with functionality locked behind paywalls, buying and demolishing established open source companies/projects, suing the shit out of their customers for license violation (see above), price gouging their customers who often have no other choice than to run their products.
The engine itself is nice and reliable but the business practices of Oracle drives a lot of companies to settle for the competition, at least, those who can afford to leave.I envy your ignorance on this.

DuPont, source of our microplastic nightmare
And 3M. They both dumped a shit ton of PFAS/PFOA into the ground at every one of their factories around the world.
And teflon and other chemicals used in large quantities while delaying the inevitable reports of danger they pose.
Autism Speaks. It has a pro-eugenics mindset, so you’d think everyone would be boycotting it, right? Nope, in fact it’s partnered with the Jim Henson company.
Can you elaborate on the “pro-eugenics mindset” at all?
Tldr:
It’s founded and ran by two boomers who have an autistic grandson and were very very upset he had autism. That’s the generation that would actively try to avoid diagnosis and help because they thought the label was worse than the disease, preventing an entire generation from getting assistance.
So its less about empowering people with autism, and more fearmongering how bad it is and that someone with autism shouldn’t have any agency or choice in their lives.
I didn’t dig very deep, but yeah, I could see how that organization does a bunch of problematic shit
thought the label was worse than the disease
Autism is not a disease.
Go tell the people that support Autism Speaks.
I’d say go tell Autism Speaks, but that wouldn’t accomplish anything.
If you want more info, just read the link.
I’m guessing they encourage screening for genetic markers of autism.
how is this different from screening for any other illness?
That was my confusion as well. Genetic screening isn’t worthy of condemnation but “pro-eugenics” has a pretty broad spectrum.
AT&T and basically all of the major US banks
Microsoft, although regulators sure as fuck help them make that impossible
Wish I could. I use linux whenever possible but gaming, hdr and some drm features won’t work on Linux any time soon.
Gaming is most of the way there, except for some anti cheat engines. There’s usually still some performance hit though
I’ve been on Linux exclusively for a decade now and I am super excited to get an HDR monitor when it gets implemented (there was some major work being done by redhat and others).
In the meanwhile, I am still having fun with games, hdr or other fancypants features won’t vhange that.

All of these are literally killing children. Not directly and immediately but according to the IPCC report we have 1,5 to 2 years time to get to ZERO emissions, else we got some tipping points and risk turning earth into a Venus-like planet.
Brother, I’m with you. It gets depressing to dwell on this stuff.
Governments like the UK that insist prohition is a better alternative to harm reduction but continue to profit from poisons like alcohol.
How does one boycott the government? Would I cut up my ID and declare myself a sovereign citizen? As much as I agree with the sentiment, I don’t think it’s as easy as that haha
Committing tax evasion maybe lol
Let’s face it, EE are just as twatty as the others.
All telecom companies in the Philippines and Southeast Asia too. They are all enshittified as expected

I won’t defend them but they didn’t suck my ass yet.
As far as which companies “deserve” it, it would be quicker to list the ones that don’t.
Bro name one that doesn’t deserve it.
Newman’s Own brand.
Pategonia, who created the B-corp
Most of them, but I’m just tired.
