It’s possible for something to be more than one thing at the same time. You can both leave a company as a protest of its politics and move on to some other venture that you have the means for.

And anyway the article, which doesn’t dig deeper into this person’s motives, doesn’t even paint it as a protest. It could simply be not wanting to participate in harm, which is not exactly the same as a protest.

This looks amazing! Good job. I don't know that I'd ever use it because there's never enough time for all the things, but thanks for the few minutes of aesthetic satisfaction that brought.

This is amazing. Did y'all use any kind of static site generator or documentation tool (e.g. Antora) or was it hand rolled?

Good god the Southpoint Apple store is terrible. I went there once because I wanted to buy a new iPad and apple pencil so I could participate in a digital painting workshop the next day, and they wanted me to wait 45 minutes before they would help me. I said that I wasn't going to wait that long and hopefully wasn't an asshole about it (it's never cool to be a jerk to retail employees!) and they did manage to ring me up within about 5 minutes.

The experience was just so weirdly baffling and frustrating and I've since avoided the place. I realize this sounds like the height of American consumer entitlement but it was truly bizarre that the response to "Hi I would like to hand you more than $1,200" was "please wait 45 minutes."

Then there was also the confusion about who to actually to talk to in the first place if you wanted to buy something. Do I talk to the person at the door? Nope, because I don't have an appointment. I should just stand in a corner and hope someone finally talks to me. It was truly amazing that Apple could so thoroughly botch the experience of exchanging money for goods.
