Is it Time to Boycot our Beliefs?

"Twenty years ago, I started boycotting Microsoft, because they dominated operating systems and office software so completely. At about the same time I started boycotting IBM and Intel because of their scary domination of the computer hardware. A few years later I started boycotting Netscape, which imposed random design decisions as web "standards", and then I began boycotting the Linux vendors for their bait-and-switch practice of giving away software but then charging for any support to make it actually useful. Then came the time to boycot Apple. First their iPods, which clearly were overpriced compared to the competition, and then their computers, which are designed so people cannot tinker with them and adapt them to their real needs. Not long after the iPhone was launched, I started boycotting it as it made it impossible for me to install non-approved software. Then came the turn to boycot Myspace, Twitter and Facebook, which did not respect my privacy and triggered a lot of spam. Flickr was something I could not tolerate as it removed old pictures, when I uplodaded new ones, and Picasa requires a Google id. Did I mention that I started boycotting Google for collecting data from searches and matching it with IP addresses, cookies, Google docs, Google Drive, Google Mail, Google Plus, Blogspot and Youtube? I boycot Amazon, their Kindle and other e-books, because the whole system depends on Digital Rights Management which leaves the customer without control of his purchases. I boycot Wikipedia for the deletionism applied by pretentious editors who do not understand their own subjects, and I boycot mbl.is because they have pages on Facebook. I thought about going back to writing on paper, but I boycot the paper industry to save the world's forests. It is important to live according to one's beliefs."
