Source for Microsoft's involvement in genocide: https://bdsmovement.net/news/boycott-microsofts-xbox
I can't unsee the source as BDSM Movement.
While I haven't played Minecraft for a year, that's probably the hardest to give up.
While I don't mean to argue against boycotting, I really don't think it matters in either a practical sense or as a gesture of solidarity whether you play a game you already paid for, especially if it's in single-player. Also remember that corporations own practically everything, and even this banana is probably produced with slave labor or at least terrible conditions. If a thing is easy to give up, great, but you shouldn't make your life less pleasant meaninglessly. Direct your effort and will towards effective actions rather than thoughts and prayers.
Minecraft tracks data. If you want to play it, i recommend installing a mod that stops it
If you mean the telemetry info about what kind of system it's running on, mod use, etc, I don't mind that. If you mean something else, I'm interested in knowing more about it.
Thats the info i was referring to
I hadn't heard about this or the Ubisoft thing (but I'm not at all surprised, ugh.) Thank you for spreading the information!
my pleasure! 🧡
part of the reason i made this meme was to spread awareness, im glad i could reach at least one person.
