Corporate Troll Matthew “GAFAM” Garrett Complains About Computer Devices Called “Master/Slave” While Using Slave Labor

Slave labour

According to a Doordash driver on TikTok…

The way this normally happens, I’m told, is that if you don’t tip your driver, then your food sits there while driver after driver declines it.



Eventually, it goes up 50 cents per driver that declines it, and then someone takes your food and brings it to you, after about an hour.



Of course, Garrett is the corporate troll that implemented a scheme where Microsoft has to sign off on your bootloader or else your OS won’t boot on a PC, which he calls security.



But he’s also a self-proclaimed “Social Justice Warrior” always calling for people to be cancelled, and just generally whining and complaining. He’s one of the fake complainers about calling computer devices “master and slave”.



Apparently, they didn’t pay him enough to leave a tip for his Doordash slave driver. You know, 1099 workers, mostly minorities, making less than minimum wage, paying double social taxes to the IRS, no health insurance, have to have their kids in the car with them in Chicago during a carjacking spree….. Slavery!



He had to be muted on Techrights IRC because he kept direct messaging people, including me, to talk about sex in bizarre contexts.



Unfortunately, in some circles, people don’t know what a clown this guy is, and why they should laugh at him.
