Solar? Like all of solar? 😭 Sorry I care about renewables.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

and more.

You'll probably find a shorter list of those who have not supported Trump.

And an even shorter list of those who are openly defiant of Trump.

Why is this written in 1800's cause of death font?

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It’s either typed on a typewriter or Ai. I suspect the latter.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh shit I think I know where the AI got it from.

1800's cause of death font list on Wayback Machine.

I love how Johnson & Johnson is listed down in other donors as someone to boycott as if that's an easy task. They own like half the fucking grocery store 🥲

[–] NedRyerson@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right. It's like saying "the first step to positive change is to completely stop participating in the economy"

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Gets us thinking out of the box?

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looks like one enthusiastic supporter and a bunch of kiss-the-ring folks wearing the corporate approved minimum pieces of flair.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Support is support.

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't just boycott. Actively do things that cost them money.

If I have $100 to spend, steering that away from them only loses them $100 or so. But if you actively interfere with their income streams, you're not actually limited to the amount of your own spending power.

Report them for fines and penalties. Poison the data they collect on the world. Take advantage of the costly perks they offer (e.g., 100% return policies on open box items), clog up their customer support lines, exercise your consumer rights to your data or data deletion, target their loss leaders to cut into their profits, etc.

This feels like a job for anonymous … where do I sign up?

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Don't sign up anywhere. Just do. The lack of coordination makes it harder to counter, at least not without other collateral damage to legitimate customers and the like.

The reason why fElon Fuck donated so much, in his words, is because he didn't wanna go to prison.

[–] thericcer@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago

Yes boycott solar

/s

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Obviously? Ever had a president that is basically a sell out? Its the most juiciest president and administration for a capitalist. Donate like 1 mill make 10+ billion.

[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've been degoogled for many years but I still watch Youtube through a front end - I can't see how that benefits Google.

Current phone is a Pixel with GrapheneOS, next one will be a Motorola with GrapheneOS.

Last pack of N95 masks came from Staples instead of Amazon.

The only socials I have is Mastodon and Lemmy.

Wouldn't catch me even being a passenger in a modern spy car.

I can't stand Microsoft products.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

KUDOS. But these hard choices need to be shared with the many people who do not believe it is possible.

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

My choices for internet are Crapcast and Starlink; what do I do?

[–] AresUII@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Internet over packet radio is a thing

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (7 children)

So is over avian carrier, but how does that help me?

Starlink (not listed but is a musk company) is supporting cell service to a large portion of cellular companies in the U.s including T-Mobile and it's affiliates.

It's hard to be a conscientious consumer when broke.

Tmobile has cheap cell service. Are the alternatives even better? Idk if they use starlink too.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do we really need a cell? This is a hard question we need to start taking seriously.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do we need cellular services?

Yes.

Just from a safety perspective, a transportable communication device is very useful.

Doesn't that hold up like half the internet?

[–] IpsumLauren@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, the other half is Azure and Google Cloud, which should also be in this list 🫠

[–] TheAristocrat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

So we're boned then?

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What if I bought my Kindle before it was cool to hate on them?

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In 5 billion years the Earth will be consumed by the sun so nothing matters.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

And in a very large number of years, the universe is going to tear itself and everything else apart, including atoms. (Most likely).

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s okay if you pirate everything you read.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Hmm… my joke was that using the kindle was… anyway… I saw your comment and saw there was another reading I had not intended.

[–] cryowatt@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

The hardest part about boycotting is finding a company that I'm currently giving money to. These companies haven't made anything worth buying in a decade.

[–] falynns@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Americans are too lazy to accept being inconvenienced in any way and it's gotten to the point where any change at all is inconvenient. It sucks here.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That’s why we she to make internet 1997 cool again.

any time you use $USD you are helping Nazis

the best thing to do is limit spending as much as possible

[–] 5318008@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

The problem is that inflation is still kind of high, so if you don't spend it, it's losing 3.4% of its value each year.

Unless you can convince your employer to pay you in Euros, Bitcoin, gold, or silver, you either have to spend USD or sacrifice 3.4% of its value every year.

[–] jared@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Literally and Figuratively.
