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

@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 @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social so… you’re mad someone tricked you into giving money to charity?

@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 seriously, 100% would not complain if a friend did this. In fact, if you have some time and want to do this for me, I literally would pay you to do that. I would benefit from having the crap out of my house and he would benefit from the money he’d make doing it. Sounds good. When will you come by to pick up my junk?

@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.
