I guess you speak for everyone?
I very much do look very negatively on Microsoft as a collaborator with modern fascist regimes, along with Meta, Palantir, X, etc.

What about Apple there? Bringing golden offerings to their god-king and so supporting the further corruption of the regime. One of the few with the power/money to stand against them instead kneeling before Trump like a teen beauty pageant hopeful.

as a former MSFT employee (who quit for reasons, well before the layoffs) I am not permitted to disparage or portray my former employer in a negative light.
I'm just mentioning this for no reason whatsoever. It popped into my head, for some reason.

As a former MSFT employee who disparages Microsoft on a regular basis, I ask: ‘dafuq did you get that idea?

For life? How can you be bound by this? Unless you sold yourself out for an extra month pay.

That seems literally illegal, unless the disparagement would reference specific, classified programs.

I'm also a former employee but based in the US where such things are illegal.
In what country are you bound by clauses like that? I've never heard Microsoft doing something like that before.

Yet. How do you think Meta acquired that reputation ?
No one really associates human rights with Microsoft's reputation. That is the domain of Palantir, Meta, etc.
