a question to parents/guardians of kids playing Minecraft or other Microsoft games:

if they uninstall the Microsoft version of Minecraft and switch to a pirated launcher, does that respect the BDS demands? also, does playing it on Linux Mint from the Software Manager benefit Microsoft in any way?

I'm aware of similar media boycotts such as SAG/AFTRA telling people not to promote targeted media projects publicly. Ofc, BDS is a different organization but I'm hoping someone could clarify if not promoting Minecraft while still playing is sufficient? I'm not personally invested in continuing to play, but would like to find ways to inspire my young relative to consume consciously.

they answer your question in detail on their own website

BDS does not imply you stop using whatever you already own. it's about preventing future purchases

making a mental note to source this ethically when the Switch 2 emulator comes out 😇

although this article is republished from the Intercept, here's some info about the author:

Hanno Hauenstein is a Berlin-based independent journalist and author. His work has appeared in publications including The Guardian, The Intercept, and Berliner Zeitung.

she's adopted a violent transphobic, anti-Palestinian campaign to win over MAGA voters. that's what the SPD is doing to Arabs, Muslims and immigrants by courting the AfD.

sure, if you wanna do a dog-shit ahistorical analysis of what lead to this, you could place the blame entirely on Trump.

do you seriously expect us to ignore the direct parallel between the Democrats adopting fascist rhetoric and deportations and the social Democrats in Germany adopting AfD propaganda in their program?

you either didn't pay attention when she threw us under the bus to win the fascist electorate or You actively cheered her on as she was doing it. same for her being a rabid Zionist.

looks like German libs are doing the Kamala speedrun.

it's not a coincidence they went after trans immigrants first, they know it's easy to use us as guinea pigs for setting legal precedent.

you can't apply unless you have undeniable proof of having been attacked by the state. it's not as easy as the media says

because taking away user choice and accessibility is never a good idea

you need it if you apply for citizenship in some countries. they'll ask for full criminal records of all the countries you've lived in.

thanks for the reminder! I'll try it out

i raise you the man command

to be fair most teens aren't really monogamous. dating multiple people is common. the difference here is that everyone is aware of each other

promoting indigenous linguistics is absolutely good, the nuance is that some of those languages are a closed practice so it would be disrespectful for outsiders to speak them. it all comes down to autonomy which i think you're agreeing with in the end of your reply

if you think the articles are too long then make your own that are shorter and appeal to AI bros

I was interested in using GrapheneOS but didn't fully understand why the devs trust Google. turns out they don't have to! thanks for the great explanation!
