    Oh no. Please. Not NVidia, or Meta, or Amazon, or Google, or Apple, or Palantir… Oh and don’t forget… Uh, I mean not Mircosoft.

      Microsoft is a huge liability. They’ve forced companies and home PC users to be needlessly dependent on their cloud services to be able to do just about anything. They own the hugely popular GitHub and NPM developer platforms, and indirectly control other developer platforms through GitHub integrations. They’re one of the major cloud service providers. They have a system that forces home and small business PCs all over the world to execute arbitrary code. They’ve been replacing their developers with incompetent AI systems. A major Apple or Google attack has the potential to break nearly all mobile devices, but a major Microsoft attack could cripple businesses everywhere.

      Facebook and Palantir on the other hand could just disappear off the internet and we’d be better off.

    “Residents within a one-kilometer radius of these terrorist companies across all countries in the region are also urged to evacuate and move to safe locations.”

    Americans: “The fuck is a ‘kilometer’?”

    Also Americans: “The fuck is a ‘radius’?”

      There’ll be like two actual Americans there, but the rest of the workforce won’t explain it to them because they’re sick of everything being compared to “back home” all the time.

    Offices in the middle east, in case you’re like me and thought they were talking about stateside offices.

      I thought they were talking about cyber attacks, which honestly would put much more pressure on the US government I think.

    Yet another really good reason to work from home.

    old timey propaganda poster similar to the "when you ride alone you ride with hitler" poster except it says "when you work in the office you work for Iran. Work from home today!"

    If Oracle was on the list, they’d tell their employees to come into the office anyway.
