You’re at least making up for my inability to step away from it atm. I wouldn’t have bought into the environment had it not been for my partner, and work of course. I grew up on PS and PC gaming, just recently started using Xbox. Damn it.
Oh the flip side, I have a Bazzite desktop rig running Proton/Steam for gaming and a PS5 and Switch. I’m not in the market for an Xbox and have bought one since the OG… so I’ll just keep not buying their stuff I guess? I feel like boycotting things I’m not buying anyway doesn’t really send a message.

as a bazzite user, it’s kinda ironic that they’re dependent on GitHub cloud to keep their updates going. I wonder if they have a non-apartheid version?

The problem with replacing GitHub with something that isn’t owned by genocidal Microsoft is that GitHub provides a fuckload of free compute via their runners. If you migrate away from that, suddenly you’ve got to pay for your automated builds.
I fear that many FOSS projects simply wouldn’t be popular if they had to be built manually from source by end users.

maybe they could use a donation model like fediverse instances do
