      oh absolutely. companies are sociopathic, and everything they do is shallow, including this— but it is at least good that universalism is profitable. if people are subjugated, then there’re less customers!

      or you can look at it like this: if companies are broadly vocalizing some support for a social cause, that means the cause is at least 51% supported, which means it’s winning!

      Yep. In the abstract I think the changes are good, but I do roll my eyes a bit seeing it come top down from these megacorps. I’d like to see it be more of a grassroots thing coming from individual developers, but I’m probably asking too much…

      My thing is that sure, it’s just because they want the good PR, but it does mean that change is happening so it’s a net-good even if it’s only a selfish reasoning.
