Again, that's a terrible presentation of the situation. It makes me look like I defend AWS.
That's like saying that although I could, I won't vote for candidate C who is against the freedom of the press when candidate C would prevent awful newspaper N from publishing its horrible bullshit.
I'd prefer newspaper N not to publish bullshit, or even to not exist at all, but I wouldn't want this to cost the freedom of the press.
AWS doing terrible things shouldn't cost us user software freedom.
Yes, indeed, there's stuff that I will do or won't do out of principles, of course! Even if it would be convenient to do otherwise! Is this an alien concept?
How is this difficult to understand that someone doesn't want compromises on rights that ought to be fundamental?
Since the supposed software freedom only affects resellers, one way to "look" less like you're out here defending aws would be to not spend 8+ posts defending aws.
