Brands I Boycott and Why

An ever-evolving list of brands I boycott and why as well as the last date I supported them. I'll continue to update this list as I learn more and detach myself from the firm grip of big tech and corporatism.

I recognise, as a tech worker, that we've created quite the hydra, so detaching ourselves becomes much more complicated than it ever should be. I also recognise that like the capitalistic umbrella tech operates under, we are somewhat stuck using certain technologies (for example, I am writing this here on GitHub, which refuses to drop ICE as a contract.).

I am not perfect and recognise this can be seen as moralistic. I am doing this to share information that may help influence your decisions. They may not. That's up for you to decide.

My hope is to encourage everyone to be more thoughtful in how they vote with their wallets.

hoodie.js is a library to abstract common backend tasks in form of frontend developer friendly JavaScript methods.

The API is what we care most about. No matter of how complex are behind the curtain, hoodie.js has to remain as simple as jQuery.

The current implementation is done with CoffeeScript, for reasons. But we want to move to make a proper JavaScript implementation and want to invite you to help us:

• what's your opinion on how the hoodie.js modules should be structured, the "JavaScript way"?
• what are libraries we should look into / learn from?
• this is your chance: do you want to help migrating hoodie.js to JavaScript? Raise your hand

the new github notifications (https://github.com/blog/1204-notifications-stars) leaves me wanting more!

• when someone comments on a gist that I either own or have also commented on
• when someone comments on a commit (in a project that I'm not part of) that I have commented on
• when someone makes a commit to a fork of one of my repos

notifications settings should let you choose whether or not to receive emails for the above things. there should also be a web UI that shows you a list of all comments/messages for the above scenarios. at the moment https://github.com/notifications only shows you github issue names which is less useful than showing the actual message (the old notifications page showed actual messages)
