        If your company want to install malware on their PCs, that’s their prerogative.

            Refuse to use it unless you or someone else can install an OS that aligns with your values

            Software is Windows only? Make them let you use interoperable formats compatible with more ethical Unix-based software.

            Company is proprietary software/hardware dependent and cannot make space for you or ethical sources? Make them write you a good reference. Or just go

              In my case all of the software I use in my field is windows only and will likely never have support for Linux.

    Really appreciate the trailblazing done by Firefox here…

    Can we just normalize beating ceos with blunt objects so we dont need to shuffle browsers every year? In fact I think that one simple trick may just fix society… And if not: it’ll be fantastic stress relief.

      You could have moved past it but you chose not to and commented instead. Weird.
