Notices tagged with microsoft, page 11

Woaw, look at this FLOSS-hostile move by Microsoft. According to their policies they have to take money from people to be able to provide Krita in the microsoft store.

And because of that they write that they can get to the website to get it for free. But Microsoft doesn't like that (may be valid for some type of stuff tho) so now they aren't allowed to talk about downloading it on the website.

Very unfortunate

#krita #opensource #microsoft

#Google, #Facebook, #Twitter & #Microsoft, as a result of #GDPR, launch their #OpenSource #DataTransferProject to let you port your data among them.

But don't be fooled. Even if this becomes functional one day, it would still not change the fact that each one of them is a walled garden with #proprietary #centralized platforms fighting to become hegemonic in order to mine your private data.

Light years away from #FreeSoftware, #federated, open standard platforms.

devs on #github:

Tell #Microsoft to drop #ICE as a client or lose us

'Earlier this year Microsoft proudly announced that it was working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to "deliver such services as cloud-based identity and access" in order to "help employees make more informed decisions faster" and "utilize deep learning capabilities to accelerate facial recognition and identification." (Emphasis added.)'

"#Microsoft lance une école d'intelligence artificielle à Castelnau-le-Lez"

On avait bien besoin de ça tient ! Toujours plus de développeurs en carton. ????

'#Microsoft CEO: don't worry, we're mostly helping the parts of #ICE that don't involve kidnapping children'

Take action against any company suporting #ICE, as you can.

If you code and use #github know that it's a microsoft project and you're by that indirectly suporting the facist #ICE.

Time to stop that move to #gitlab or similiar, and exclusivly use github to publish issues about microsoft enabeling facism.

There are two spots where #Google, #Amazon, #Facebook, #Apple, #Microsoft (and others) are most vulnerable. You have to attack them where it hurts them the most.

1) Is their public image. Make them look as shitty as possible, they deserve it. Ideally, make them *deny* things that make them look good. This is the high art of pissing someone off. Claim publicly that Google is stopping AI research or whatever. You will win.

2) Don't use their services. Seriously. Stop. Stop. STOP. Delete. Forget.

En Chile, hace algún tiempo, nos dimos cuenta que Microsoft nunca "amó al software de código abierto": cuando un diputado presentó una iniciativa para que el Estado prefiriera software libre, esto pasó

Already 2,5 years ago I argued why big central code hosting platforms are a problem and what should change from my perspective. I have the feeling that it fits perfectly these days. https://www.schiessle.org/articles/2016/02/12/the-next-generation-of-code-hosting-platforms/ #Github #Microsoft

I really didn't want to join all the #Github and #Microsoft noise, but I can't help myself... "millions of people today depend on GitHub to help them learn, grown, and build amazing things."... Exactly this is the problem, with or without Microsoft. Can Microsoft fix it? https://natfriedman.github.io/hello/

WOW ! en deux heure j'apprends (sur #mastodon 💘) que #Github se fait acheter par #Microsoft et que #TOR va être aspiré par #Firefox...
Je sais pas pourquoi mais ça me rassure pas trop sur l'avenir du ouaib 😧
