dave"Microsoft has a “footprint in all major military infrastructures” in Israel, and sales of the company’s cloud and artificial intelligence services to the Israeli army have skyrocketed since the beginning of its onslaught on Gaza, according to leaked commercial records from Israel’s Defense Ministry and files from Microsoft’s Israeli subsidiary." <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genocide</a> <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://www.972mag.com/microsoft-azure-openai-israeli-army-cloud/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.972mag.com/microsoft-azure-openai-israeli-army-cloud/</a>

Duas funcionárias interromperam apresentações do CEO de IA, Mustafa Suleyman, e dos três CEOs que a empresa já teve, Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer e Satya Nadella, em protesto contra o fornecimento de tecnologia usada pelo exército de Israel no genocídio de palestinos na Faixa de Gaza. #Fediblog<a href="https://manualdousuario.net/microsoft-aniversario-protestos/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://manualdousuario.net/microsoft-aniversario-protestos/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://manualdousuario.net/assunto/microsoft/" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a>

WYM ModWhat does Steve Ballmer think about Trump's tariffs? Despite recognizing their immediate impact on consumers and investors—like a 6% dip in Microsoft stock—Ballmer maintains confidence in Microsoft's long-term potential in computing and intelligence. He cautions about market disruptions yet sees opportunities for growth, particularly in AI.

Dirk<a href="https://chaos.social/@HonkHase" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@HonkHase</a> Yeah, I have to admit, this doesn't come to me with any surprise. <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> has contracts with <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/military" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#military</a> and military contractors, therefor it shouldn't be surprising, that any <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> in their <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/portfolio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portfolio</a> is open for sale, especially the dual-use ones. 😕 What surprised me in the last weeks, that <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/arabic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arabic</a> family clans in <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> protested loud enough against Hamas, that (at least first) Al Jazeera ignored it, while international outlets seemed to pick it up. But the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/worst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worst</a> in my humble opinion that I didn't notice any loud response out of the other Arabic countries to support these protests, yet. I think this is equally irresponsible, as it looks like the definition of "collateral damage" the IDF takes into account on the behalf of the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#israel</a> government.This whole <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/shitshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shitshow</a> there is straining my tolerance for ambiguity to the max.

Ross of OttawaSo <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Skype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skype</a> is shutting down and I get messages to that effect. I'm noticing there's no mention of giving me my money back. I've got $5 on their system, and while I haven't used it probably in six or seven years, I've kept the acct active because I don't want <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> to have my money.It's not much and won't bother me if it's lost, but it would bother me that Microsoft is just keeping these credit balances for themselves without permission. There should be a class action or deal with that.
