You can either pick a battle that you cannot win (assuming you're not the one in charge of the many millions such a migration would cost). You can just deal with it, or you can look for better circumstances.

You say you're convincing people, management sees a trouble maker who's spreading unhappiness.

In my opinion, it's better to save your energy for something where it can make a change, not a futile attempt at trying to make an institute drop Outlook or Teams, or whatever shitty software we're talking about.

But hey, this is just my advice. You do you.

Uhuh. Let me know how that works for you, out in a real corporate setting.

In my experience you can say all you want (if you're lucky), but in the end, switching providers on a large scale costs a lot of money. And their money is more important than your discomfort.

But the closest thing to the 6 TB Microsoft offers, would be the 10TB from filen at €400 a year. Whereas with Microsoft, it's only $120 a year and you get all the other services. Say what you will about the quality of MS products, but they are the cheaper option here.

I'm guessing the vast majority of its users are students and corporate employees, neither of which get a say in which software is used.

This guy gets it.

For me it's just generic influencer dislike. Wouldn't go as far as hate though. It's just that I pre-emptively don't care about what they have to say. Clickbaity titles "this is why..." (without explaining why) certainly don't help.

Full disclosure: I'm only responding at this headline and the blurp posted here. I haven't seen the - oh lord, 3 hours?! - video. But I'm sure it will be very interesting for someone.

Ehm. So?

Just because [bad people group X] think that [bad thing Y] is bad, doesn't mean they're wrong.

There are good reasons to be anti AI (creators rights, for a starter , and at the same time, it's not going to go away, and it will also improve our lives in ways that we cannot fathom right now. It'll need (better) regulation for sure.

Having said that, I really don't think inflammatory posts like these (Y is bad because associated with X) are going make things get better.

If you want to be pedantic about it - if the NSA, or any such agency demands to place a [backdoor of any sort] in an American company's datacenter, they have to comply.

So, no, they (meta, Google, etc) won't be handing over the data knowingly. But those devices placed there for sure aren't running Minecraft servers.
