Linux being better than ever couldn't have come at a better time.

Microsoft will feel the wrat of Europe. Many people are switching to Linux. Even (local) governments with thousants of employees. This all together will have hudge implications in the next few years.

IBM had a role in the holocaust. Those numbers tattooed on everyone in the concentration camp? Those were IBM ID numbers for the punch cards.

If IBM staff protested about their role, it’s been lost to history. But it’s repeating today with Gaza and the staff who speak out are being demonized. Israel’s Lavender AI is being used to kill civilians. History will prove this woman and the other employees right in the end.

Suggestion if you're still stuck on Windows (or use Steam on Linux).

" It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have."

SAY YOU'RE SORRY OR THE COMPANY WILL BE SAD

Textbook retaliatory, I hope they have a nice retirement

I cannot recommend switching to Linux enough! Linux mint is a solid, stable OS with a thriving community and ample support for newcomers.

There are alternatives to nearly everything, yes YOU CAN absolutely live without microsoft or google tracking your every move, stealing your data, selling it and using that profit to fund unethical bullshit. Take back control, you will never regret it.

Apalling.

While I wholeheartedly agree with her message, the reality is that any employee that interrupts a company event to criticize the company until they are escorted out of the room is gonna be fired regardless of the accuracy of their statements. We should be appalled at Microsoft's complicity in Gaza, not that they fired an employee.

I applaud her for her stand, but she and everyone knew this would result in her termination.

Hopefully they will find better jobs with better employers.

For everyone who uses Windows, try Linux. Don't be scared to try something new, most things that are worthwhile come with some sacrifice. Sometimes, if we don't leave our comfort zone, we miss out.

I will provide a small guide, but there are tons of resources on the internet.

See the ranking on the right hand side here: https://distrowatch.com/ You can pick something from there on the top of the list.

Watch YouTube to learn more about each Linux distro that you find interesting.

I personally would recommend Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distros, as they have the widest support.

You don't have to wipe your Windows-installation completely, instead you can dual-boot. This allows you to pick Windows or Linux when you start your computer. If you feel comfortable switching entirely, you can wipe out Windows and keep Linux exclusively.

Just be careful when you partition your drive, don't accidentally overwrite your Windows installation (if that's not what you want to do). Make a backup copy of your most important files on a separate external drive before the installation.

I feel good about cancelling my 365 subscription, and I will continue to feel good about switching to Linux when windows 10 hits end of life. Not giving this company another dime.

Switch to Linux. Don't use Microsoft email. If possible don't use MS Office and if you currently need it, encourage Libreoffice, OnlyOffice, etc

Everyone needs to learn about Open-Source, Community-Made stuff, & more useful terms to know

Linux time, nerds, who aren't already using it.

what else do you expect :D it's always about the money, if not helping jews would be more profitable they would do that.

We have reviewed our internal policies and found our employees do not share the same values as us.

I guess most everyone else that works at microsoft is cool with this.

Saint Luigi guide us.
