But would you still watch anyways? It seems silly to me to watch a game you’re boycotting then just go around pretending you didn’t. Who did you watch for? Who are you actually lying to?

In your head, do you say System D or System’d?

Aside: WTF is that cover photo? Is Trump dancing? Is it supposed to look like he’s trying to throw a punch?

Not sure I understand the boycott but still watch crowd. Sure, not watching makes viewership go down a tick, but the Superbowl is so cultural, every hallway “did you see the game” helps push those viewership numbers right back up

Feels like he’d be better served as a UI/UX consultant for some of the bigger distros, have impact with more staying power

Domains are cheap, buy one and then you can jump between whatever services aren’t caught up in the outrage of the moment.

Speak with your money.

This is tough to do when there’s often not a functional alternative. Buying old motherboard stock and a non-HDR monitor isn’t going to teach manufactures people want Linux support, they’ll just think you are saving money / don’t care about new features.

Without some sort of clear ‘Linux Certified’ system they can compare sales against, no hardware manufacturer is going to be able to recognize the 0.1% sales increase stemming from the time random internet volunteers fixed the open source implementation of their display drivers.
