THE events of the past few days, including the strident “you’re fired!” attitude of the new owner, ought to tell us a lot about things to come. Summary: There are ethical and practical reasons to leave Twitter (we’ve included many examples in Daily Links and we’ve named many reasons this past year) considering the way things have gone since Thursday night, fears and concerns were justified and it’s time to quit Twitter It pays its Executive Director over $300,000 per year (quite a lot for an organisation that loses millions of dollars per year, partly due to poor leadership after many years of success stories). It lives off its past goodwill and digests the reserves of cash - not a sustainable strategy at all. * The latest available IRS filing says that the EFF has swung into losses for the first time in at least a decade and has been losing money for two years in a row, but it still has about 40 million dollars in the bank. “It pays its Executive Director over $300,000 per year (quite a lot for an organisation that loses millions of dollars per year, partly due to poor leadership after many years of success stories).”We can only encourage people not to give any more money to the EFF, seeing that it gets handouts from tech monopolies and oligarchs, who use the EFF as a lobbying arm of their own.

We’d like to invite and reach out to insiders or whistleblowers who better understand what goes on (firsthand accounts). “We’d like to invite and reach out to insiders or whistleblowers who better understand what goes on (firsthand accounts).”At the moment it’s very hard to get reliable and accurate information on what’s going on inside Microsoft because Microsoft issues face-saving statements, which media then blindly relays/parrots. THERE are allegedly 4 waves of layoffs at Microsoft so far this year (the year isn’t even over!) and those layoffs for sure include Azure, which Microsoft insists will become the future of the company. Summary: Microsoft spokespeople are anything but frank about the stability of the company we’d like to invite Microsoft insiders to contact us discreetly and tell us what they see (or saw) inside Microsoft Video download link | md5sum 7de973b7f1aa684b5fe51e30f5e410aaĬreative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
