Building a website on internal Microsoft infra that ledes with a picture of "Azure Kills Kids" is beyond the pale.
- Forgeties79 1y agoThat’s a pretty low bar for “beyond the pale.” Company PR isn’t some sacred thing and these people paid a hefty price for their protest. They should be praised for their bravery even if you disagree with their message.
- sugarpimpdorsey 1y agoI make no comment on their message but you cannot use company resources to do it and not expect consequences. Sorry if that is unclear. This is a fireable offense in nearly every company handbook in existence.
- Forgeties79 1y agoWhen did I say they shouldn’t expect consequences or that it wasn’t a fireable offense? The whole point of this discussion is that cries for people to “protest properly” are ridiculous and designed to make protests ineffective. Clearly I get that their jobs and more were at risk, hence why I said they were brave. The only thing unclear is where you got the impression I thought otherwise.
- hashim 1y agoI'm not sure you know what "beyond the pale" means. You probably shouldn't look into the history of the suffragette or civil rights movements, for your own sanity.
- vkou 1y agoKilling kids is not beyond the pale, building a website criticizing is.
- Hikikomori 1y agoSaying what has happened is worse than it happening? American missiles kill kids, and so does intelligence and support systems they use to do so.
