I try not to use Windows as a daily driver, but I still need it for some things, most of them work related. I assume a lot of people are in this situation and I’m trying to be helpful.
That being said, while I appreciate evangelizing software that doesn’t turn you into a commodity, I don’t appreciate the domestic abuse comparison.
Too bad, because it’s apt nonetheless. And you should be shocked, not because you think I’m making light of domestic abuse, but because I’m forcing you to consider how harmful corporate abuse is.
Corporate abuse may be less severe than domestic abuse from an individual, but it’s so much more widespread that it risks becoming normalized in society. They are trying to do no less than destroy our property rights, infantilize us with learned helplessness, and turn us into serfs to be milked for rents. From that collective perspective, corporate abuse could arguably be considered an even worse problem overall because it harms everybody including bystanders who had no say in the matter instead of just the metaphorical “spouse” who made the choice to stay with the abuser.
