This happened 19 hours ago. One might think that it’s a perfectly reasonable thing to say in the “Linux” subreddit. This wasn’t only censored; “They won’t say which moderator did the ban, or why,” the banned person has told us.
Summary: In this increasingly crazy atmosphere of mass sanctioning and permanent banning (removing everything or everyone that’s perceived to be impolite) even “Linux” forums are banning people who point out Microsoft being a rogue corporation that’s attacking GNU/Linux

Microsoft hired or acquired (acquisition-based hiring, which enables faking growth, faking wealth when no actual money changes hands, and sometimes debt-loading) a lot of “trash” and “hype”; now it pays the price

Translating the Lies of António Campinos (EPO)
António Campinos has read a lousy script full of holes and some of the more notorious EPO talking points; we respond below
[Meme] Too Many Fake European Patents? So Start Fake European Courts for Patents.
António Campinos, who sent EPO money to Belarus, insists that the EPO is doing well; nothing could be further from the truth and EPO corruption is actively threatening the EU (or its legitimacy)
Thomas Magenheim-Hörmann in RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland About Declining Quality and Declining Validity of European Patents (for EPO and Illegal Kangaroo Courts)
Companies are not celebrating the “production line” culture fostered by EPO management, which is neither qualified for the job nor wants to adhere to the law (it's intentionally inflating a bubble)

Sirius is Britain’s Most Respected and Best Established Open Source Business, According to Sirius Itself, So Why Defraud the Staff?
Following today's part about the crimes of Sirius ‘Open Source’ another video seemed to be well overdue (those installments used to be daily); the video above explains to relevance to Techrights and how workers feel about being cheated by a company that presents itself as “Open Source” even to some of the highest and most prestigious public institutions in the UK

[Meme] Waiting for Standard Life to Deal With Pension Fraud
The crimes of Sirius ‘Open Source’ were concealed with the authoritative name of Standard Life, combined with official papers from Standard Life itself; why does Standard Life drag its heels when questioned about this matter since the start of this year?

Crimes committed by the company that I left months ago are coming to light; today we share some reactions from other former staff (without naming anybody)
Among Users in the World's Largest Population, Microsoft is the 1%
A sobering look at India shows that Microsoft lost control of the country (Windows slipped to 16% market share while GNU/Linux grew a lot; Bing is minuscule; Edge fell to 1.01% and now approaches “decimal point” territories)
In One City Alone Microsoft Fired Almost 3,000 Workers This Year (We're Still in March)
You can tell a company isn’t doing well when amid mass layoffs it pays endless money to the media — not to actual workers — in order for this media to go crazy over buzzwords, chaffbots, and other vapourware (as if the company is a market leader and has a future for shareholders to look forward to, even if claims are exaggerated and there’s no business model)
