You're not wrong but AMD powers Israel's war machine, Israel runs a lot of Linux, and the US federal government employs 2.3 million civilians who are more complicit than a MS tech keeping GitHub running.
The entire world is comfortable with genocide.
Are you implying Linux contributors are comfortable with genocide because they contribute to Linux?
I think there's a line to be drawn with creating general purpose tools vs contracts with orgs. Otherwise everything you do is in some way transitively evil.
The OP called out anyone working for MS when they are possibly doing work less related to supporting Israel than a Linux contributer working in Israel for the IDF.
Are you going to give up using KVM (which things like proxmox requires), because it is supporting Israel? (KVM was built by Qumranet, an Israeli company before being bought by Redhat. So funding for KVM goes to those Israeli developers.)
Is giving out bullets for free morally better than selling them?
Everything we do is transitively evil. Everything. People just like to try and shift the blame on to others to make themselves feel better. Living your life and doing the best you can won't make you immune from somehow contributing to the worsening of the world. Until the people at the top stop being complete assholes, we're all contributing to our own destruction.
I'm not.
