    If you still use microslop, you are part of the problem.

    Me getting paid - and therefore eating and paying rent - requires me to use the mandated OS on the company-provided gear. It’s a great job, it has a great union retirement package that won’t leave me destitute like my folks and anyone else who went through abject poverty, and in all I accept that trade-off while working to modernize us out of M$. So maybe moderate that crusade a bit before you enter the workforce?

      You are reading a “I condemn you” where there isn’t one into “you are part of the problem”.

      If I participate to an economy which exploits third world countries for quality of life and luxury, then even if I do not have a choice, I am part of the problem.

      Becoming all defensive about it however suggests that you actually don’t give a fuck about using an operating system operated by a fascist enabling corporation, while looking for excuses that it’s “not your fault”.
