Mexit, not Brexit, is the new priority for the UK
(www.theregister.com)
Since when is an opinion piece world news
my apologies bro
I guess MSexit wasn't approved for the name for this. But I thought it was about Mexico, and got confused
mSEXit was blocked by the porn ban.
Microsexit. No, that's worse.
But somehow more accurate...
We have a winner boys!
Lmao me too.
Hmm... A name poorly chosen, or deliberately chosen for clicks?
Britain wants Mexico to leave the EU? Why?
Came here for Moss! It's not really Moss though, just some stock footage.
Anyhow:
[MS] has a good 20 years’ lead on its competition in bending the ears and getting its feet under the desktops of enterprise and state decision makers.
Yet all it would take would be for those decision makers to make different decisions. Just like that.
I keep saying: Lobbyism and Cronyism are the main & biggest problem. The reason presumably left-wing and social(ist) politicians make neoliberal, hypercapitalist decisions. Etc. etc.
We have the resources for a welfare state. Austerity is the very first lie these liars spread.
Micrexit was right there!
in line with British priorities, they really love taking things that aren't theirs.
It's an exciting opinion piece, sure but with the vacuous way everything is organised its impossible for anyone who can competently hold the reins to retain power for any length of time - and that requires someone who can competently lead which seems almost impossible to find in this stupid era.
These are structural challenges requiring massive expenditure over _generations_that are needed to succeed. It's a perfect example of the extended sequel "this is not fine" comic - not sure I got that link right.
Even when the US was trustworthy (to an extent), Microsoft wasn't. And nothing was done.
So why do something now?
Better late than never
Shut the fuck up and go back to Russia you simpering mass human flesh
Even if you disagree with everything someone stands for, don't be so vile with your words.
It doesn't make you look good.
I am long past the point of caring, I will say what I say and speak how I speak. Shit ass behavior needs to be countered By making them feel uncomfortable
You see, "I will say what I say and speak how I speak." Is the very definition of "Shit ass behavior"
I prefer USA over russia and china, but lets be real, USA sucks ass. They have brought havok into so many countries just for money that its difficult to keep counting.
What's more, unless I'm missing some post history unknown to me, the OG comment that garnered such a vitriolic response from the angry guy here was more of an admonishment to Microsoft than the US gov. I get he mentioned the US too but the "subject" as it were was microsoft's long record of being untrustworthy.
Like, he even mentioned that the US gov used to be sorta trustworthy (which is pretty true, unless we want to lie to ourselves in either direction), that isn't Tankie behavior. In fact I checked like the last 6 posts just to see, and dude's an ex-American living in the UK. At no point were RU, NK, or West Taiwan even mentioned, he never said "west bad east good," the angry comment is almost an entire fabrication, again unless those two users have a past interaction I'm not aware of. I don't necessarily even disagree with the angry guy, just like, go say that to yogthos or davel or someone ffs, this seems incorrect and random.
Funny enough, mentioning previous interactions, I'm not familiar with the comment OP, but I am familiar with the angry guy, "dickalan." Perhaps unsurprisingly, every comment I've noticed of his in the past was him being a complete dick for mostly no reason. Perhaps it's a character?
They had MSXit available too….

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
