Amazon? Really? I could come up with several reasons why not to partner with Jeff Bezos and supporting trump it’s just one of them.
Amazon is giving this service to Gnome for free. If anything, this is hurting them.
Would you drive a Tesla because it’s free? I wouldn’t. Sure, getting a free car sounds great, but I’m not gonna be a walking billboard for Tesla and basically help them shove even more cash down their greedy throat.
It’s called having a conscience and some morals.
Let's take a moment and back up. And you're scenario, you say you wouldn't drive a Tesla if it was free, but would your tune change if you needed a car to get to him from work if you had a car that was broken down and needed to make sure you got to work and get necessities for yourself and for your family.
that makes it extra sus tho
The benefit for Amazon is good PR and supporting open source projects their engineers use.
