While technically correct, it’s a slightly shallow analysis. It’s like people complaining that companies put chemicals in the food, you could grow all of your your own food but it’s probably not feasible.

    And yet ultimately the answer is to refuse to buy from those companies.

    We’re both here on Lemmy so it’s safe to assume we’re both doing our best, but I’m willing to bet all my money that you are not sourcing all of your tech needs from ethical companies or the open source community. You probably use an Apple or Google made phone, your work might lock you into Microsoft operating systems, the list goes on. It’s not wrong for people to demand better solutions from companies that have managed to establish a monopoly and who use their vast resources to maintain that monopoly.

  • Idk what we mean by wrong but it's just dumb and causes self inflicted stress. Yes i use microsoft at work because they tell me i have to, i dont complain about it on the internet because that would just be wasting my energy for naught. And no monopoly has ever self policed itself and never will. The problem is the laws passed so go complain to your local politicians instead. And if microsoft was the first company to ever self police itself out of a monopoly, google and apple would instantly suck up all that market share.
