@mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social question: why is this bad? Some people I know would say this shows capitalism is compassionate. They’d argue that amazons motivation is irrelevant and the out come of the charity receiving anything is good. So what’s bad here, other than just being judgy about why they’re doing it.

@mav@hackers.town @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social what it sounds like to me is this amazing hack. The developers came up with a way to trick Amazon into giving to charity by taking money from another company that invades our privacy. Sounds like some damn awesome grass roots doing good inside a generally unjust system. Good on them. Like, you folks shouldn’t be mad at this. You should be laughing, along with the people who came up with it.

@mav@hackers.town @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social I mean, if that really matters, you know you can give the charity money directly.

@mav@hackers.town if this is your torment nexus, I think you need to adjust your definition of torment.
