Can't we just grow them in the US somewhere? We can talk to people in space but we can't grow some damn naners wtf
Better yet, get out of America
Communism is the American nightmare

Had one surface from an employer, had to swap it out with a Mac because it was literally the worst machine I've ever used.

Ironic because most of their users will never experience actually having to pull out
Re:What is GitHub talking about? on Wednesday March 20, 2024 @10:10AM (#39766799)
Should be noted that Github's success comes from the community and existed before Microsoft bought it.

Microsoft gets no credit, not even once.

Of course it is. So is Snapchat/Tencent
Yep, if the FCC or anyone actually gave a shit they would implement caps on fees based on usage. None of these assholes are doing us a favor. $70 a month when I stream podcasts, watch low def streaming from Tubi and that's it? Lick my balls comcrap
Re:Time for TikTok to cut its ties to China on Tuesday March 12, 2024 @08:55PM (#39686819)
What about Snapchat/Tencent? What about the military aged men crossing the border from Mexico? What about the Chinese owned businesses buying up land around military bases? Or the ones who own food manufacturers in the US? Or all the Chinese owned aviation companies operating in America? What about academia? What about Microsoft?

A good example of academia in the US being exploited by China.
Re:Is Snapchat is real spying app acting as IM? on Tuesday March 12, 2024 @08:49AM (#39678854)
Yes - Tencent (China) owns 12% of it. China lures guys to Snapchat via dating apps (Tinder) probably to blackmail them.
Re:Joe Biden says he would sign bill banning TikTok on Monday March 11, 2024 @08:45AM (#39667499)
MTG is bananas but she's right, why start at tiktok when there are battalions of military aged Chinese males crossing the border through Mexico, scores of Chinese tech companies operating in the US legally, and companies/politicians (like Microsoft and the Clintons) who sold America out to China decades ago. Tiktok ban is almost superficial

If by activating their response process they mean: delaying disclosure and pressuring reporters to delay publicity of it, sure
He's probably spot on, btw.
Lots of Clinton associates also worked for Microsoft. My guess is that Microsoft and the Clintons/Obama/libs sold the country out to China and are now trying to play victim.

I'm a-political but this is the pattern I see.

RIP Motorola
Microsoft betrayed the United States and let China in, and is now pretending to be at the forefront of the information security world. Microsoft is an enemy of the United States and the constitution.

Burn Bill

Should worry about domestic adversaries too, there are plenty of them (hi Microsoft)

Re:Microsoft Security-101: Open-Source curriculum on Saturday March 02, 2024 @08:22AM (#39572344)
Haha. This. Except it wasn't stolen they flat out gave it away and sold out America to China. That's why they put so much effort into trying to spin Microsoft as some forward fighter in infosec these days even though anyone with a half of a brain knows that Microsoft is the greatest liability in security/democracy and engaged in espionage against the US. They should stick to what they do best, steal other people's ideas/concepts/some current trend in tech, try and rebrand it as a Microsoft thing and weaponize litigation to capitalize on it.

Re:Microsoft strikes deal with Mistral in push beyond OpenAI on Monday February 26, 2024 @11:26AM (#39513187)
They did that because they can't compete with Linux and had no relevancy in the tech world outside of providing business users with terrible software

Xfce is far better than Gnome and KDE to me personally. Gnome-shell is nice on a tablet though.
Re:Microsoft Is Driving Users Away on Sunday February 25, 2024 @04:30PM (#39504970)
I've converted a handful of some of the least computer tech heavy people to Linux. This was years ago.

The final few nails of Microsoft's coffin are being nailed as we speak. Not only because they are just fundamentally bad at innovation, but because they also sold out the United States to China. Billy boy is scared, and he should be.

All of SCOTUS should retire before opening arguments start. Anything less is undemocratic
Re:Microsoft Joins the MapLibre Sponsorship Program on Saturday February 24, 2024 @11:49AM (#39492953)
Knowing Microsoft it's probably for some malicious purposes
Too bad Microsoft sold out Americans to China. Microsoft isn't a reliable source of anything related to security.
