Kevin BeaumontMicrosoft, after embracing Elon Musk on stage at Build and in product, has abandoned their yearly diversity report. https://www.theverge.com/tech/838079/microsoft-diversity-and-inclusion-changes-notepad
I do wonder if there's any behaviour Frank Shaw wouldn't justify.

@GossiTheDog socialism
The Doctor@GossiTheDog Diversity declarations have also be re-added as job application filters. At least from what I can tell from the last three weeks.

@GossiTheDog how long before Windows becomes Xos?
fossilite
Nigel Wadsworth 🇦🇺@GossiTheDog That photo is scarily similar to Jony and Sam.
J. Blake@nygl @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social That was my first reaction, assuming it is a real photo. Cringe.

Jukka Niiranen@roadskater @jblake @nygl I generated that image back in May, using ChatGPT, asking it to make a photo like Jony and Sam. The original version can be found from my LinkedIn post comments:

I used the same photo now, removing background and pasting it over that quote from Tom Warren's newsletter. I'm pasting the post text here, knowning not all of you love using #LinkedIn like I do.😁

noplasticshower@GossiTheDog make racism great again
Chris Mackay 🇨🇦@GossiTheDog Almost — almost! — makes me wish I used Microsoft and/or Tesla/StarLink products so I could abandon them.
retech@GossiTheDog All that $ and they spiral into the most degenerate fuckwits ever devolved on this planet.
Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
🎄Merry Mastodonphan🎄@GossiTheDog When I get back to my laptop I'm wiping my Windows 11 partition. Mind you, I ran the https://privacy.sexy WindowsOS scripts and the "Shut Up Windows 10/11" program on it so it should be devoid of all that crapware, but I am tired of leaving anything to chance. Next time you see me, it's Fedora KDE Workstation or bust for this Masto user (unless Fedora decides to go full throttle with its AI implementation, then it's Mint/Bazzite or bust)!
Yxuppi!

Miha Markič@GossiTheDog What, they invited a Nazi to their conference? #wtf
Edgar@GossiTheDog It’s so easy- just stop giving Microsoft your money.
AprazethCome on, and sing along!
It’s beginning to look a lot like fuck this
Ev’rywhere you go;
Take a look in the logs and chats
glistening once again
With sexism and eugenics they overflow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like fuck this
Bots in ev’ry thing
But the shittiest sight to see
is the folly that will be
your globally crashing Azure front door.
