Summary: Software developers become living witnesses to more and more reasons to abandon Microsoft for good
THE above video covers ongoing discussions about Microsoft’s misuse of the TOS (a lot like a CoC) to censor developers if not ban them completely. It’s a subject we wrote about yesterday. It’s an emerging theme, especially since last year due to a number of high-profile incidents and cautionary tales of all sorts.
Towards the end of the video I speak about “GitHub Takes Down ‘Widevine Dump’ Forks Following MPA Complaint”; it increasingly seems like GitHub isn’t much more than a Microsoft censorship tool, not just for Microsoft’s agenda but also the copyright cartel’s. Who on Earth would want this sort of thing for code/Git hosting? Except those ‘bought’ by Microsoft, e.g. OSI and Linux Foundation? Racism is fine with them. They’re in violation of Open Source and Free software licences by excluding ethnic groups, too. █
