I’ll agree on the update thing, but absolutely NOT on any of the other parts. Things like OneDrive are ENTIRELY about money.
With the update thing, even “pros” were incredibly lazy with updates in the past. Having automatic updates at least as the default is entirely correct.
It’s absolutely fine to do this, but it’s just as reasonable to not call that veganism. Reducitarian or Flexitarier are right there.
Maybe I’m reaching, but this stuff feels like stolen valor. They want the label, without doing all the work.
Do you genuinely believe this? If I hear “X is bad”, I don’t need someone to tell me “oh, but less X is still good step”. I can understand that with even my two braincells.
Where’s the proof that people don’t understand that? Do we need to start preaching harm reduction and “perfect is the enemy of good” in other areas of activism? Feminism, anti-racism?
At best, a boycott is part of veganism. Vegans obviously also don’t personally kill animals to eat, or kick puppies, or have cock fights. Not supporting those things financially is a consequence of that stance, not it’s sole purpose.
The reason it seems like a boycott is simply because for the average city dweller, buying animal products is simply the main way they interact with this form of oppression.
To try an analogy: Imagine most/all men actually not assaulting or raping women. But, 99% of them pay for others to do that on their behalf, three times a day. Feminism would look a lot like “just a boycott” to these people simply because consumption is their main point of exposure/support of anti-feminism.
So your feelings are more important than the oppression of all the minoritzed groups?
