Won't do it. They can x my y and my z

[sorcerer_see]

MS can x my y and my z because I think it devaluates any ethical purpose I may have with computing. If I become an MS Windows dev. Simply the fact that they force Windows 11 users (except Pro) to give up their privacy by making an account that is traceable to their real id, since most email providers either require a phone nr or an alternate email (that is backed up by a phone nr). I think this is disgusting. Corporate companies are NOT the government and like this they become the government. (Now, imo not even the government should force identification.) Second , MS has part responsibility in the genocide of Palestinians, due to their provision of technology and simply lots of trade and investment to the current state of Israel.

SO, even despite the negative effect this might have on my long-term ethical purposes of sustaining depreciated software, I will become a Linux developer. Linux OS is used by approximately half of professional developers, statistically, so it is not exactly the case that I am alone in choosing this OS.
