    FYI HP (and Dell, but not Lenovo) are priority targets on the BDS list. Please do not support them even if they support Linux.

          Siemens is on there?

          As an electrical engineer, I guess I know which company is NOT selling my circuit breakers now.

          I hate when I already don’t buy from any of these companies, so I can’t really join the boycott for this. At least some of them I am boycotting for other reasons, not just because they make a shit product. Intell, for example, I’ll buy from AMD every time first.

            AMD’s not just in Israel, Lisa Su has been visiting the white house lately.

            Sadly, AMD is in Israel as well, although to a lesser degree.

          … 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

              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.

        They’re an Israeli company so they’re included by default. I think they just get their own entry as they a decently large organisation.

          Oh wow I did not realize that’s where they are from. Really too bad because they make quality filters. That’s okay I will buy a different brand regardless

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
