Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

This leftist has boycotted everything Sony since they bricked my PC with their rootkit in the early 2000s (and I really go out of my way to make sure nothing Sony related comes in my house, not their music, movies, games, electronics, nor their camera lenses) I only slipped up once in the past 20 or so years, when I purchased a second hand Sony Walkman mp3 player. Thing broke within 3 months of use, it's now a constant reminder that I really need to keep boycotting Sony.

I've started boycotting Amazon (including but not limited to Kindle, Audible, Prime and Twitch) and Disney since this year.

But I'm only one person.

I have shown myself to be capable of long term boycotts and I don't intend to let up. I've added Amazon's websites to my Pihole's blacklist.

But I also don't pirate their stuff. As far as I'm concerned their TV shows and movies and such don't exist on this planet.

When They fucked me over on my PS3 linux install, I had a Sony TV, A Sony receiver, 2 Playstations and a ton of games.

They're all long gone now.

Never again
