FYI HP (and Dell, but not Lenovo) are priority targets on the BDS list. Please do not support them even if they support Linux.
What’s the “BDS” list? Never heard of it.
… Why… or how, would McDonald’s support Israel and the IDF?
I mean, that seems such an easy target to avoid and just go “I’m staying out of this one” for any company, but McDonald’s? That just has to be for the sport
they give away free food to the idf.
Cruelly ironic, considering the IDF used starvation as a weapon.
even more so when you consider that they’re using healthier ingredients for the idf instead of the toxic sludge that they serve to americans.
Boycott divest and sanction israel
Damn I just looked that up and WIX is on the list. WTF, WIX? Damnit
Meh, they’re shit anyways.
Still, fuck HP.
ik HP has a Linux laptop and all but this company is definitely the last company I thought would do smt like this
high-usage vendors like hp (and dell, lenovo previously reported on) have to start paying-in to support the operating costs of the service.
they certainly aren’t doing it because they want to.
Great news for the foundation, still sorry HP but you have burned me regarding your printers
lol, $100k+… HP revenue in 2024 was $53,559,000k.
(Dell same year $88,000,000k and Lenovo $69,000,000k, so ~$50B to $90B)
I let you calculate the percentage but… I’d guesstimate it’s approximately nothing.
Soon subscription is coming up for fwupd
“This HPLinux only works on snapd. Please enable snapd on systemd in order to boot”
Black screen of death: “A green pixel is faulty on your display. The driver cannot output any image until it’s fixed”
They aren’t doing this out of Altruism, mind you. They know damn well that the world runs on Linux admins, and they want the ecosystem to survive so they can use it as a customer base later.
And Linux should not survive by altruism, but by actual dependency.
