Ah, the Franco worshippers are at it again.

Happy birthday!

Ours tried to explain to project leaders that employees are not mostly interested in their salary, but in praise. That went over well.

some would try to appear “we are family” to retain employees

Nope. Rule of acquisition 111. They claim that everyone is part of a happy family because family is easiest to exploit.

It does seem that more than a few of this kind of people are quite tonedef. One example is a lot of them liking Rage Against the Machine but objecting when Tom Morello makes a political statement, as if their entire song catalog wasn't political and literally raging against everything those conservatives and/or fascists hold dear.

(re)Ditched Windows on my PC a while ago, still have to use Windows at work. Just checked my work laptop running Windows 11 (standard laptop, not a "Copilot+PC") - sure enough, that Recall shit is installed and active. Disabled it, and made a post in our main company Teams channel with screenshots. Will be interesting to see if there are any reactions to this.

To find out if it is active in Windows 11, open up 'cmd' and use: (typing this from memory, hope it is correct)

dism /online /get-featureinfo /featurename:Recall

to disable it, you need a 'cmd' instance with admin rights:

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Recall

Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

They have played us for absolute fools.

English letters? Really? So basically no a-z, only Æ, Þ, Ƿ, Ð?

I would so use that in their next marketing campaign. The slogan writes itself!

"Outlawed in [Denmark|in some countries] for being too spicy!"

They really don't. They're throwing LGBTQIA+ people under the truck because it's a polarizing issue and it distracts people from the fact that the rich are fucking all of us over and capitalism is destroying this planet. It's pretty much the same with abortion rights. They don't give a shit if you're gay or trans or whatever. But making your life fucking miserable distracts us from all the other damage they do. That's all.

So we should fight for LGBTQIA+ rights, and abortion rights, but we should also finally fucking start to EAT THE RICH.

Good idea, giving Microsoft control over every single open source project. I mean, what could go wrong, right?
