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

    .... 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

    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.

    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
