Why are people not protesting ? Businesses should stop buying Microsoft licenses and that should force Microsoft to remove bill gates completely from the company. Same should be done with Musk, trump etc.

I think it's some form of Stockholm syndrome that people bound up in that ecosystem just love being pounded in the ass by Microsoft.

True. There's is no other reasonable explanation. Jesus! These companies are fucking us raw by manipulating internet , information and here we are fighting among ourselves. I can guarantee you that commenter is a regular Joe slaving a 9-5 but will go above and beyond to protect these companies.

Fighting among ourselves? You started it… ;-) I tried to debate you on facts and opinions. You made it personal in the response. Good one.

And yes, I do have a job. I work for a nonprofit-profit as a Software engineer. But you can guarantee I go “above and beyond”…? You don’t know me at all…
