Well, the people who boycott aren’t silent (see above). Maybe someone younger reading this thread thought “what rootkit?” and looked it up. Maybe now that person won’t buy Sony. I certainly don’t. You know Sony’s marketing research departments are aware that this is a thing. One of the great things about capitalism is consumer choice and the way a negative brand image actually hurts their bottom line and helps their competition. Imagine if Comcast had competitors :)

However, taking 3 vitamins is almost entirely harmless.

This website is pretty awful without an Adblock (on mobile). Couldn’t even get through 3 paragraphs.

I do hope you know that it’s never intentional. I’m definitely not excluding any gender when I think of the concept of “man hours”—it’s just an abbreviation for “human” to me. I try to use gender neutral language where ever I can, whenever I think of it... I end my meetings with “thanks everyone” rather than “thanks guys”, even though “guys” just means people to me. But it can be stressful to always have to worry about the different intentions people can put behind words, even if none are meant. Basically I think trying to use more gender neutral language is a great thing, but we also shouldn’t criticize it every time it’s seen. I think it’s fair to assume we all have good intentions and that we’re not secretly sexist.
