Microsoft killed my online life after I called Gaza. Palestinians calling home to Gaza on Skype have had their digital lives destroyed, after Microsoft closed their email accounts without warning.
A moral society would, once the genocide is finally stopped, investigate every company and organization that did shit like this and punish those responsible.
Whatever manager approved this should be facing charges. Anyone who called the cops on protestors. University staff who retaliated against anti-genocide staff and students. All of those people should be facing charges of helping facilitate genocide.
See also: COVID. There needs to be a systematic hunt for those who pushed pro-COVID policies. For those at the highest levels, they should be fucking hanged. But also managers who encouraged staff to work sick should be heavily fined and banned from ever being a manager again. Anyone who pushed for ending their companies masking or work from home policies, barred from anything but the most simple menial labor.
With a paid Skype subscription, it is possible to call mobiles in Gaza cheaply - and while the internet is down - so it has become a lifeline to many Palestinians.
Paid subscriptions having their accounts banned for calling their family to see if they're still alive.
Also I’ll be honest at a fundamental level I don’t think companies should be allowed to block paid accounts without a warning and refund, regardless of the offense
Like even if they were doing actual crimes, like planning a murder over Skype or something, if you have a paid subscription they should be required to give you at least a few days to get your shit and a refund. Eviction rules.
I think Windows intentionally breaks GRUB dual boot, if you see your computer saying "repairing Windows" it's a good chance that it's breaking your dual boot setup
They definitely succeed because it made me stop using Linux for a long time, I didn't have time to fix it and didn't know how. It happened multiple times.
If there is one (1) thing I recommend doing to take control over your online life it is to buy your own domain name and then use it for your email. Like me@myname.com or something. That way, no matter what fuckery happens to anything else, you can still receive emails at the same address by just using a different email host.
These unconscionable things can only happen because our digital lives are corporate-owned.
