there are robust anti Microsoft and anti Google movements getting more and more mainstream over time. there are plenty of great alternatives to MS and Google software and services. Linux and FOSS as a whole is benefiting immensely from anti Microsoft sentiment right now. We can and should boycott these two terrible companies

“Avoiding fascist-supporting companies is inconvenient” is a poor excuse, especially when it’s so easy to degoogle compared to 10 years ago.

The Omacom Foundation (Omarchy) contributors listed are:

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, Stripe CEO Patrick Collison, Dell Technologies Chairman and CEO Michael Dell, Block co-founder Jack Dorsey, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince, Oculus co-founder Brendan Iribe, 37signals CEO Jason Fried, and Hansson himself.

Matthew Prince has in the past removed nazis from Cloudflare, maybe it’s worth bringing his attention to DHH’s support for Tommy Robinson and anti-immigrant protests in the UK. The rest of them seem at least sympathetic to, if not part of, the far right.

Conservatives and the right don’t care if they’re being hypocritical or ignoring how this applies to something they do like. They want the SAVE act because it will benefit them or their side, specifically, not because it’s “a good law for everyone” and they don’t want a gun version of it because it will restrict them, specifically. they’d probably be fine with a gun version that only restricts Democrats, “the left”, trans people, people of color, and any other “outsider”.

IMO we need these business owners to be part of the community bc otherwise the task is too big to map and update all these millions of places with a small, ideological group. i don’t think they should have any control over reviews or anything though

when business owners believe that potential customers are using Openstreetmap based apps, they’ll add their businesses. until then, we’re stuck adding them ourselves. maybe an outreach program would help
