Summary: The fake "social justice" claims or posturing by Microsoft ought to have been exposed by recent affairs, involving the very CEO or public face of GitHub, who moreover thinks rape jokes are appropriate

A few weeks ago we published the arrest record of Balabhadra (Alex) Graveley, but as court days are being scheduled we await the latest developments, which implicate not only Graveley but also GitHub's CEO Nat Friedman and his wife, whom we'll pay more attention to later in this series.

Microsoft has a terrible track record with women, and moreover this goes all the way up to the top (CEO who says things like this and co-founder who treats women like sexual objects while he flies the Lolita Express with Jeffrey Epstein).

GitHub: Because you want Microsoft as your boss.That Microsoft treated the Graveley situation so poorly is well documented [1, 2]. It would rather protect men who assault women than admit (possibly to the public) that it was hiring and employing criminals, elevating them to management positions based on nepotism (GitHub CEO) and in spite of a bad track record with women.

Microsoft is -- as I've long put it (for well over a decade for sure) -- run by crooks, criminals, and liars. They're shamelessly committing the crimes and then selling us a Microsoft that is "woke" because it changed the default name of Git branches while keeping the highly controversial (racist) contract with ICE (because that's just what Microsoft truly believes in as long as the Pentagon can bail it out).

The video above discusses the GitHub situation. In relative terms they lose market share and people should definitely object to Microsoft 'bossing' them (and their projects) through GitHub. Over time more and more realise this, so we expect that one day GitHub will fold just like CodePlex did.

"The key change in this year’s Actuarial Study, due to cascading the new “risk appetite” from the financial study, is a significant increase of the total pension contribution rate of 5.7 percentage points, up to a total of 37.8%. This is driven by an unprecedented decrease in the discount rate of 105 bps down to 2.2%."
