That’s a really strange way to spell “blatant lie”.

Your comment seems needlessly inflammatory, almost aggressive. I did not vote on it at all, but I would not be surprised if the downvotes you received were mostly because of that and not due to disagreement with your points.
Judging by the title this is most likely just a hit piece on any kind of activism the author does not personally agree with. I will not put effort into bypassing a paywall for something like that.
You could always argue that humor does not equal jokes I guess, but these were just my 2 cents
That was exactly my main point; but thanks for sharing your 2 cents anyway, they were still interesting.
I would argue that:
This is not actually a joke in the strict sense of the word. There is no punchline. The humor is entirely in the context.
Your friend does not understand any of this and is just repeating the “joke” because other people laughed about it at some point. It has nothing to do with the Windows operating system, so if that was part of his explanation he is probably just making shit up to cover his own ignorance.
Add some coffee?
“being weird, rude and cringy is their whole thing” does not make that thing any less weird, rude and cringy.

With Unilever, Mondelez and Procter & Gamble on that list, shopping for groceries and hygiene products might get complicated if you actually want to boycott all of them.
Feels weird to not see Nestlé on a list of big (food) companies doing questionable things.
There is nothing unhealthy about being annoyed when someone forces you to always come to them no matter what it is about again and again and again, instead of at least sometimes actively coming to you when they want to interact.
In the SHED survey, the gravity of this situation becomes more evident. The survey equates the displeasure of shifting from a flexible work model to a traditional one to that of experiencing a 2% to 3% pay cut.
Those number seem way too low to me. Just picking some semi-random numbers, let’s assume a 40 hour work week and an average travel time to work and back of 1 hour per day, so 5 hours per week. Being forced to come to the office would then be equivalent to 12.5% more of your time spent to earn the same amount of money. Of course that scales depending on how far away from the workplace you live, but for 3% or 2% to be realistic you would basically have to live right next door.
It sure did have a big impact, comparable to what some people expect to happen soon with AI.
However, I think your framing misses the main point of why many artists today are wary about AI: They are not just being replaced, their own work is used as a building block for the tools that will replace them; and they were not asked for permission and don’t even get any compensation for that.
Outlawing the dog meat industry is a step in the right direction.
Outlawing just the dog meat industry instead of all meat industry is hypocritical.
TL;DR: Looks promising in mice, not tested in humans yet.
