Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

As opposed to the other Microsoft products that are not piles of shit?

These are dire issues for the military. I would wager if we attacked China like we did Iran and Venezuela, it would not go well for us, thanks to the pervasiveness of Microsoft and its lack of security.

Microsoft supports their cloud in China.

Segregating them isnt nearly enough
