you just need to keep a shit list of brands that are now dead to you.

I have a dwindling list of brands that are not yet dead to me.

A good rule of thumb is that if you have heard of a brand but don't remember anything positive about them they should probably be dead to you.

The only brand I can think of that is truly not evil is valve, and that’s all cause of Gabe.

exactly, if you want to be an ethical consumer you’d need to be a hermit.

[–] gradual@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago

Hermit here, can confirm.

What's wrong with being a hermit?
