GAFAM Paying the Price for Pursuing US Military Money (Taxpayers' Money as 'Stimulus' With Strings Attached)
Last week: IBM Facilities Now Deemed Legitimate (Military) Target, Along With GAFAM Bases
This morning we noted that "Free Software Will Outlive GAFAM" because GAFAM has several simultaneous crises and the mass layoffs are a symptom of these crises.
