Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

But why? The company is different, it's not the one that did that.
Same reason I will never buy a car brand even loosely associated with evil. Because they chose a side, and it isn't the one I'm on.
Edit: love how there is a not insignificant lemmy users who dislike this comment. Know I'm saying "fuck you" to you too.
Edit 2: your down votes fuel my hatred for you pricks! Keep the hate coming!
Then it's probably not a good idea to be on Lemmy. It's written in Rust, which is a programming language funded by a lot of unapologetically evil big tech companies, like Microsoft and Google. It was also initially created by Mozilla, a company with heavy associations with Google and which has even become quite pro-AI.
I'd say using tools funded by evil counts as "loosely associated".
I'm going to let you know I'm down voting & blocking you.
No hate, I just wish to not interact with you anymore.
Edit: vote manipulation is not a good look.
It's not vote manipulation, you're just a dick.

You're being downvoted because of your shitty attitude and reluctance to actually read what people are saying to you.
Likely. I'm ok with it though.
Edit: need to add, there is at least one person here who doesn't whipe their own ass.
Edit 2: there's 3! Y'all suck. Not going to mince words. Y'all are terrible people. Full stop.
Its lead developer is also a fascist.
I get that, but brand doesn't pick sides. The company behind it does. A lot of current companies have predecessors working for axis.
The company is responsible for the brand's decisions.
And that company is Lenovo, not IBM.
Ok.
So you agree that boycotting ThinkPads because they used to be owned by IBM is a silly stance?
I'm not defending Lenovo, by the way. I personally boycott them because they shipped systems with bios level spyware.
Yes. Fuck ibm and Lenovo.
Edit:, legit worried about the fuckers that voted for this.
