That’s fine to want, but you’re not entitled to it and never should be.
The university having M365 and the students having M365 are not the same thing. Students don’t subscribe to M365 Business because they need word or excel. Students would subscribe to M365 Family or Personal, or just buy office outright. Students get a huge discount too.
Intent matters, as does the overall goal.
Israel are trying to eliminate Hamas, the internationally recognized terrorist organisation that openly wants Jews and Israelis wiped off the face of the earth, who raped and murdered 1000+ innocent people at a music festival. That’s it. They’re not trying to wipe out the Palestinian population.
Completely disagree, and I have tens of gigs of FLAC music to go with my 10s of gigs of MP3.
Somehow I don’t think any charities with less than 10 employees were doing that, so nothing changes.
You said this too:
So for now I’d just be happy if they used LibreOffice instead of MS365
As I said, LibreOffice can’t be used instead of MS365 unless you want to lose 95% of the features of 365.
It’s not “corporate greed”. If companies have to make every device of theirs “open source” essentially, and have to make ways for their competitors to be able to run their stuff on the device, and allow people to remove all their companies stuff from their devices, guess what? No one will make devices anymore.
If you don’t like what Apple do, don’t buy Apple devices. You’re not entitled to anything other than the device doing what it says on the box. You do not own the software on it, nor are you entitled to have them give you the keys to their kingdom.
It’s not “corporate shilling” to explain basic concepts around business and how the world works. I didn’t like what Google were doing a few years back so I made the decision to switch to an iPhone and stopped using pretty much all Google services. I voted with my wallet, like you can and should.
You really can’t. With Bluetooth earbuds you absolutely can’t. With car speakers you’re not fooling anyone.
They didn’t donate all of that to that fund. They’ve donated hundreds of millions/billions to many other charities and causes that they don’t run. The money that they do donate to that fund does get used to help humanity. If you’re going to claim that it just goes back to line their own pockets, can you provide evidence of this?
Oh and what a creative way to use one of the most uncreative low-iq commie insults!
“Genocidal acts” doesn’t mean that a genocide is happening. “Destruction of civilian infrastructure” is an “act of genocide”. That happens in almost every conflict in the world, and not every one is a genocide.
A genocide is a specific thing. For me to be convinced that there is a genocide happening, specific things need to happen and with a specific intent - and those things aren’t happening in Gaza. Hamas want a genocide. They’re very open about this. Israel are trying to eliminate Hamas. If Hamas surrendered, the killing would stop.
Unfortunately in war there are casualties. Casualties will be increased when one of the parties at war - Hamas - use civilians, including kids, as “meat shields”, like putting their military bases in schools and hospitals as Hamas has been factually proven to do. Hamas have been caught faking civilian deaths and casualty numbers too, and they’re an internationally recognised terrorist organisation - they are not to be trusted, no matter what you think of Israel. Again - Hamas openly call for the genocide of Jews and Israelis. Very openly.
A question for you - if you were to agree that Israel are doing what they are doing in retaliation to what Hamas did on October 7, and will not stop until Hamas are defeated, would you still consider that a genocide? If Hamas surrendered and Israel stopped killing Palestinians, would you still say it was a genocide?
Another question - are you open to reconsidering your views? Or are you steadfast in them but expect me to consider changing mine?
I’m just saying it literally is Azure AD renamed:
Here in Australia the supposed “MAGA style populism” lost because they were the complete opposite of that. They were offering basically nothing different to the current left wing government. They would have likely won had they actually been an opposition and campaigned on and promised what the Republicans did.
