Thanks Ryan for this wonderful gem from Mohamed
"-- So, yes, boycott Microsoft Teams, too,” he said. “Although, I am not sure if anyone is using that willingly.” Drop Site could not independently verify whether anybody has ever used Teams willingly, though experts said it was unlikely.

I mean... I kind of want the receipts on that but it's much better without them. They could fill a lot of train cars

I understand the catching headline is no more video games. But Microsoft's main profit streams are in the office. It's gaming division is a loss leader. But I'm also just coping because I'm an addict. But Revenue is revenue so I will comply. Microsoft office and Bing is where their power lies.

What is this "Bing" you speak of? Is that boomer for browser?

mckenzie-jr.bsky.social•3 days ago

Excuse me, I should have said co-pilot AI

Easiest boycott of my life

kirbynoodle.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m not sure how much a consumer (read: non-commercial) boycott could put a dent in Microsoft. We could all cancel our office, onedrive, and gamepass subs and they would still make billions.

corbynwasright.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don't have an Xbox, but I think I might invest in one now, good on Microsoft.

eirinngobrach.bsky.social•4 days ago

Corbyn is anti israel you fucking muppet

ianthe.online•4 days ago

quite notably the entire reason he got fucking pushed out

corbynwasright.bsky.social•3 days ago

Have you ever heard if the words sarcasm and irony? Seems to me like you might need to get a dictionary put and look them up, before you start calling people names, you might want to look at the inflection of the words typed, it seems comedy us dead in Ireland.

eirinngobrach.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah I don’t joke when it comes to genocide.

blaqjaqshellaq.bsky.social•3 days ago

Gotta be careful with online sarcasm: a lot of people just don't get it! (Personally, I add🙄)

mbletst.bsky.social•3 days ago

what inflection, because you just sounded like a zionist.

drawdown71.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think there's a typo above in the original post. The word critical maybe should say crucial?

visiblexela.bsky.social•4 days ago

Critical and crucial are synonymous. Critical as in "mission critical"

drawdown71.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hi Xelias. Thanks for the correction. I should have said it's easy to, incorrectly, read it as being critical of Israel when speed reading the post. I think this is what may have happened above.

corbynwasright.bsky.social•3 days ago

Does no one understand sarcasm and irony anymore, if I was to say that bow Ford cars will be £35000 in the UK ans say no bother, I will have 10, would these people believe that too? Humour is dead in the UK.

mbletst.bsky.social•4 days ago

are you having a stroke

corbynwasright.bsky.social•3 days ago

Do you know the difference between seriousness and sarcasm? Try looking them up in the dictionary.

mbletst.bsky.social•3 days ago

maybe sarcastically supporting a genocide isn't a great idea

sunnier12.bsky.social•3 days ago

Boycott capitalism: Coke, Microsoft, Starbucks…

OR

Boycott evil: Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah…

lotusprince.bsky.social•2 days ago

Damn, what a big brain idea. Brb boycotting Hamas, whatever the fuck that means

alnihil.bsky.social•3 days ago

If you think capitalism and evil do not overlap none of your opinions are worth anyone's time

jenkaah.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh, and cool that you're making an ass of yourself in public by supporting a genocide.

jenkaah.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'll boycott capitalism tyvm 😊

ary.bsky.social•2 days ago

But like sure, I'll stop buying Hamas' products too(???)

endblock.bsky.social•2 days ago

You know, all those games and products hezbolla puts out.

concretemilkshake.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well good thing Microsoft has never once made a single product that’s worth purchasing or using and they keep blowing more money buying up companies and acquiring IP that’s also not worth caring about in the slightest. It’s a pretty easy company to avoid.

gaymaya.bsky.social•3 days ago

You on Windows rn?

concretemilkshake.bsky.social•3 days ago

No. Of course not.

gaymaya.bsky.social•3 days ago

good

davefpg.bsky.social•4 days ago

Kinda paid up on GPU for a while but I do wish I could play video games on literally anything without contributing to human rights violations in some way. That'd be nice.

mateulegrillepain.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sorry to be THAT GUY, but do consider installing Linux Mint, Tuxedo OS, or Fedora if you feel up to it

davefpg.bsky.social•2 days ago

I use my PC for more than gaming so I'm kinda stuck with Windows. I'm even one of those people forced to use Teams for work (though I only use it for chat and passing files so don't have any problems). Plus most of my hardware comes from China and publishers are also scumbags so still an issue.

bballchinaski.bsky.social•3 days ago

ive been doing my part

heysailor.bsky.social•4 days ago

BDS is one of the few tools we have to get the Israelis to stop killing people.

phillyslodge.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hmm, guess I won't be crawling back to Widenose then. Oh well, off to Linux!
