stackexchange will probably give you a better answer than lemmy (that’s me trying to be helpful with good advice)
I did my 333rd recently, the post of Choronzon.
Maybe some horrible massacre happened there once, but that’s like the heart of 1948 Israel, not some illegal settlement in the West Bank.
So people reading this are aware: the boycott movement is not just about boycotting goods from the occupied territories: it’s about the whole of Israel.
https://craft.co/waze/locations - it’s headquartered in Tel Aviv. Boycott it.
“The modern economy is very global and interconnected” is a cliché - too vague and obvious to guide action. Boycott Israeli companies. Waze is an Israeli company.
Marriage and sex decline when societies adopt smartphones and the digital craze.
In the end, I believe the question is who is more powerful, a few people with a lot of money, or a lot of people with little money?
Coördination is easier for the former.
Personally, I am excited about the field of Social Computing, it is still at its infancy and has a lot of potential. The main idea is to create alogirthms based on human interactions that solve real world problems. A few questions one may ask include: How misinformation is being spread, and what is the optimal way to fight it? How do we fight corruption and authoriative power? These questions have been approached by a lot of fields, but creating algorithms and proving their effectiveness requires a deep understanding of computer science.
I’m not a pessimistic person (I’m neutral), but the sinister implications are obvious.
Boycott Waze, Wix, HP, Unilever (and their many subsidiaries), Cif, Coca-Cola, Colman’s, Danone, Dell, Domino’s, Elle, McDonald’s, Monster Energy drinks, Nescafé/Nestlé, Paypal, Pret-a-Manger, Reebok, Starbuck’s, Sun (the laundry detergent)
Came here to say it.
The heroic inventor story is archaic.
Boycott Israel
Wikipedia still has a big zionist bias; the ADL is too extreme for even them
Cracking goal against Ukraine just now mate
It was a talking point long before that, e.g. the 2018 article I posted
First thoughts are that it’s a massive country that’s heavily polluted and kinda obsessed with making money without much care for how they do it
This is just business in general; it’s not peculiar to one nation.
such as how much of the world is making sacrifices to stop buying gas from Russia but India’s just undermining their good intentions for profit.
Why do you think the few countries that are stopping buying Russian gas are doing it? Coz it sounds like you’re saying they’re doing it out of moral reasons, which isn’t very plausible.
