WashingtonPost Microsoft workers are assholes this is America we own Microsoft the American people and Bill Gates is Microsoft

These big tech companies should be broken up and put under new apolitical management.

The basic description of the technology (as explained in the article) doesn't really seem like a big problem. (I'm guessing there's more that is really troubling the engineers which they can't talk about). Either way it does remind one of a Black Mirror episode.

Good. Let's return to redhat.

AmandaS15866691 Already so many games are nearly identical to warfare - it's not surprising they'd want to turn warfare into a game. The games make killing just something one needs to do to get to the next level. No thought process. It's already mind-numbing. Not a big move to make it real life.

The workers in favor of this want anonymity.. How about stop being a coward and say it openly or work somewhere else. Or do they value their pay more? 🧐

But we’ll work with china to monitor billions of innocent people for communist dictatorship

It's not like the military doesn't use Microsoft software, Windows, computers, etc...right? This is pretty silly thing to be against.

I, for one, welcome our new fill in country here overlords.

What the hell?

Hippies

The Military should cancel ALL Microsoft contracts including all desktop and server contracts. Wanna see how bad taxpayers are getting f*cked look at what the military pays these aholes.

So MS will use workers in their India code shops. ( No, the security can easily be managed.)

Most of Microsoft's workers are foreigners imported as slaves to the US on the notoriously corrupt H1B visa program. Small wonder that they are so hostile to US military and national security interests.

We already have a war video games. Guys in bunkers in the Nevada desert flying drones over the Middle East. These guys are going home to clean sheets every night also want combat ribbons. “ military been there done that stuff”💚

What about “Smollett” - are you not reporting on this 24/7 anymore? Did the narrative change?

But yet designing Filtered browser web access for China is just fine...

If it follows the lead of Windows 10, I'd say the next war is lost already.

Warfare been a damn video game.

Very much of the tech that we use every day originated from military tech. (Internet for one) It is a huge investment in our future.

Ko se ikad igrao rada sta je izdao, pa naravno svoju stratesku nemoc.

Microsoft has been used in warfare for 20+ yrs now. A little late to get a conscience.

Why?

Or make warfare easier with less deaths, which is the goal.
