@hugovk Everything Microsoft Touches Dies.

#EMTD is my long-time mantra.
Everything Microsoft Touches Dies.
Github, LinkedIn, Skype, Visio, it all gets killed and subsumed by a Teams feature nobody asked for, on an #Enshitified OS "as a service" with non-optional AI-BOT overseers and screen captures...
Probably DOS and PC-BASIC are the only good ever done by MS, and still in wide use in 2025. And they trained lots of people who eventually got better jobs.

Musk's space internet constellation are particularly prone to it's effects of Magnetic Geo-storms
Just keep your eyes open for falling Starlink debris

Suggest sticking w/ Waymo, Lyft or a cab now that (accd to WaPo): "Elon Musk’s Tesla will launch free self-driving taxi service in California". We know about Teslas bursting into flame. As my mom used to say, "I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him." Everything Musk touches dies #EMTD

Edward Coristine, a 19-yr-old member of Musk’s squad that’s criss-crossing US govt agencies, was fired from an internship after he was accused of sharing info. with a competitor.

“Edward has been terminated for leaking internal info. to the competitors,” said a Jun 2022 message from an exec of the firm, Path NET. “Unacceptable & there's 0 tolerance for this.”

“I'd access to every single machine,” he wrote on Discord in 2022.

"Some IRS employees taking OPM’s ‘deferred resignation’ offer told to keep working until May 15."

NTEU Nat'l Pres. Greenwald says it's a “clear case of bait-and-switch":
"It proves that the terms of OPM’s so-called offer are unreliable & cannot be trusted."

It's sad that many Americans still believe Trump & Musk's lies, given that both are conmen & have a long history of mendaciousness.
