Months ago, I installed Microsoft Teams on my computer because a specific project used it. It is the only Microsoft Software I have on there (a Mac and I use OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office).
As that project winds down, is there _any_ reason not to find and remove all Microsoft stuff from my machine? It’s updater alone weirdly wants to update itself every week it seems.
Also, what’s the best way to do so?

The Blight Reaches Microsoft: 73 Repos Disabled in 105 Seconds
GitHub disabled 73 Microsoft repositories across four of its GitHub organizations — the entire Azure Functions org, the whole Durable Task family, and a row of AI sample apps — in a 105-second sweep on June 5. The recompromised durabletask package sits at the center, and the fingerprints point at the open-sourced Miasma worm.

RE: #Microsoft.

Vous utilisez #Windows et hésitez Š passer sur #Linux ? Pourquoi ne pas essayer le nouveau #AzureLinux de #Microsoft

My mom asked me for help with #Microsoft #Excel on her work computer. I don't know which version it was, beyond being an actual program and having these damn ribbons. She wanted to make all the rows on a spreadsheet taller.
I did the obvious thing: selected all the cells, dragged at some random row header edge and resized it. To my surprise, this affected only one row. I tried again, same result. WTF?! I mean, I haven't seen Excel for years, but why would they break that?!
So I started digging through these damn ribbons, properties, trying to find some row height setting. Nothing.
I was close to giving up, but I've tried again: selected everything, dragged… and this time it worked and affected all rows. So much for predictable software.

Microsoft emissions rise by 25% amidst AI data centre expansion
Microsoft has reported that its total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased by 25% last year, driven primarily by the expansion of data centres and infrastructure required to support artificial intelligence (AI) services.

Intern formuliert Microsoft das Ziel seines neuen KI-Assistenten Scout (Codename: ClawPilot) ganz unverhohlen: Phase 1 heißt „Menschen abhängig machen." Jason Koebler und Emanuel Maiberg von @… haben die Planungsdokumente. Süchtig machen als Produktstrategie — das soziale Netz lässt grüßen.

Scout soll dafür sorgen, dass Microsofts Office-Produkte noch nützlicher werden. Geleakte Details scheinen jedoch drängende Fragen aufzuwerfen. Sogar Mitarbeiter:innen sollen sich demnach besorgt über die Wortwahl äußern. Auf seiner Entwickler:innen-Messe Build hat Microsoft zahlreiche neue KI-Anwendungen vorgestellt. Eines davon ist Scout, ein auf Openclaw basierender KI-Agent, der in Office-Produkte integriert werden soll. Was der Tech-Konzern […]

I read that #Microsoft is going to add a revolutionary feature to #Windows11. You can soon change the position of the taskbar to the top or the side of the screen.
This kind of innovation can only come from multi billion dollar companies....

Another thing I love about #GitHub is how applying review comments adds random CRs to a LF-only file. Thank you, #Microsoft, that definitely makes sense.

FYI, you don't want to get banned on the #Gentoo org on #Microsoft #GitHub right now, because vibe-hub is broken and I can only ban people but "something goes wrong" when I'm trying to see who's banned (and therefore I can't unban anyone).

Oh, so #Microsoft explains that #GitHub wasn't down due to vibe-coding, but due to "a new peak" in traffic. So sorry to hear that, really. Who would have expected that would happen after they (checks notes) practically monopolized software hosting, and then started aggressively pushing for unethical technology that is killing the Internet. But don't worry, their best vibe-coders are now working on the ultimate prompt to make everything scale.

Oh now this is the best tech news I have heard for awhile…. Is a Mega-Enron situation about to happen to a bunch of the Magnificient Seven?
“Like Enron, they’re using special purpose vehicles, or off-balance sheet arrangements such as legally distinct subsidiaries, as a way to make their financial reporting look healthier than it actually is — often a glaring sign that something is deeply amiss behind the scenes.”
Also… is this why Apple effectively outsourced its AI, rather than build its own. If so, it could be the smartest tech hedge of the century.

Oh, great. So apparently #Microsoft decided to add "#Copilot Pull Request Reviewer" to my "Authorized #GitHub Apps", behind my back.
