Yawn, I've used none of these except Linux and I would expect that their Linux contributions have been self-serving and not made it better for regular users like me.

I mean, Hack? Who cares?

You use more than half of those on a daily basis just by using any piece of modern electronics or connecting to the internet.

I also "use" Facebook tracking and ads and I'm not psyched about that either!

You also use your phone that requires cobalt mined by child labor, wear clothes made by slave labor in countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh etc, so what's your point? The world is not black and white.

		Original comment you responded to said "> [Meta] have arguably contributed nothing to society for over a decade" and you responded with a list of tech that is supposed to indicate their contribution. I'm not impressed. I'm also not impressed by fast fashion and child labor phones. Big Tech has been a scourge and 20% less web traffic because of zstd does not absolve them.

Is your sole measure of value whether you personally use a thing?

Yes, you've never used a React website in your life or downloaded something with zstd despite them being defaults on the internet.
