Instant Messengers Analysis and Comparison

Instant Messengers Analysis and Comparison - Lemmy.world

The table is quite big (190+ lines of hand-written HTML) and it doesn’t fit on mobile phone screens unless you zoom out. It should be fine on desktop. It also specifies the criteria followed and has analysis of some of the IMs in the table (not close to all of them, I hope to add more analysis in the future). Counter-arguments are always welcome. Sources and additional information too. Note that the typical privacy recommendation (Signal) is not recommended here. It does not meet our criteria, being centralized and requiring a phone number. I don’t want to hate on Signal since it’s doing a decent job spreading the importance of E2EE, however we can not recommend it for the given reasons.

Why do you hate Microsoft?

Why do you hate Microsoft? - Lemmy.world

I’m helping a friend of mine writing a long essay exposing the abusive, monopolistic and anti-consumer practices of Microsoft. First, we’ve created some sort of table of contents with the different topics we want to cover and now we’re gathering sources for each of these topics. Microsoft is a huge corporation with a big influence on media and although if you dig enough you can find useful sources, they’ve also made a extremely good job at hiding bad press from search engines. We’ve scrolled through Hacker News, other links aggregators and sites like TechRights and we’ve found a good amount of articles against Microsoft. But we’re sure there have to be more. So that’s kinda why we’re asking. Bullet points for the sections we’ve thought of (suggestions are welcome too): * The Microsoft Monopoly * Microsoft and the web * Internet Explorer * Microsoft Edge * Microsoft's monopoly on videogames * Microsoft and the Governments * Education * Healthcare * Microsoft Gaming Empire * Windows Backdoors (not sure where this section belongs) * Work with the NSA * Microsoft loves Open Source (microsoft infiltration in foss) * Microsoft and the OSI * Github * Github Copilot * VSCode * War on GPL * Microsoft loves Linux and BSD? * Embrace, extend, extinguish * Kill Bill Gates * The media empire * Twitter censorship * Bill Gates the philanthropist * Big Pharma * Bill and Jeffrey Epstein

Okay so I updated the website based on everyone’s feedback. Thanks for your comments!
