    No need to get defensive

    Who’s defensive…?

    I do use bad products

    Umm… Good for you! (?) Not sure why you decided to share that, though.

    but it’s important to try to find the least bad and avoid rewarding bad actors.

    I agree! How about rewarding a redemption arc, where a bad actor changes management and becomes a “good actor”? (that was the original question, btw)

      Well that was a weird rhetorical question.

      Redemption arcs are for people, not for companies. And even them, how would I know they’ve become a good actor? It’s really hard to be sure that a software is not doing something bad. Trust in software should be really, really hard to acquire.

        So, how are you browsing the Internet?

        Can’t use Chromium (Google), can’t use Safari (Apple).

        Can’t use Mozilla after their “bad actor” behaviour with telemetry and Pocket integration (not to mention the fact that they’re literally on Google’s payroll). Can’t use Servo (originally made by Mozilla), can’t use Ladybird (main dev is a fascist).

        Are you posting this through telepathic transmission, or are you just a hypocrite?
