I'll defend them. Like pushing for vegan diets, solar energy, and the end of single use plastics. It's annoying, it's not fun but in the long run it's to make the world better for average people.
The ship has sailed there. Microsoft aren't going anywhere soon and in the long run they will continue to win.
There are plenty of good causes which I hypocritically agree with and don't put into practise, eating meat is bad for me and the planet but I'll still enjoy a steak without feeling like a villain believe it or not.
Blaming someone for choosing Microsoft is a dick move, Linux doesn't work for everyone (I.e. non tech people) so what should they (myself included) be doing instead in your opinion?
The whole system needs to fail before a company like Microsoft loses, if that happens great. But until then me want play new games, me not know Linux tech, me use bad guy company to enjoy me time. Most importantly, me don't feel bad for doing it.
Seriously though, I pick my battles and try to not be evil while doing so. Microsoft selling an extra copy of windows once every 10 or 15 years won't turn them into our all powerful overlords and it's the easiest way for me to enjoy my free time, and on balance I'm fine with that.
Your idea of making the world a better place is bullying people into submission? Something doesn't quite add up there. 🤔
Im mixed because on one hand, you dont want a "crazy lady in the attic". (we feed her and don't talk about her) to fix that you must be intolerant to the intolerant. (in this case, you want to be against intolerance for people who are running windows) Its uncomfortable because it feels like your attacking yourself.
