It's pretty obvious that everyone who works at Microsoft (specifically) hasn't got the motivation for personal empowerment or computing, or otherwise hasn't got the power to enact such. The end result is the same: a tech corp that oppresses the end user wherever feasible.
Some points to back up my contention:
- Microsoft does not allow the Windows serf to uninstall Edge on Windows 10.
- Microsoft is hostile to the idea of allowing a Windows serf to self-sign their own TPM.
- Microsoft does not allow the Windows serf to inspect the code that arbitrates their computing.
- Microsoft does not offer the Windows serf any ability to inspect, reject, or roll-back "updates."
Understanding these harms helps my personap situation by enabling me to make informed decisions about avoiding serfdom to Microsoft and their legion of cog-like engineers, which is definitely to my benefit. Microsoft engineers actualize the harmful policy of "Windows users deserve less;" therefore, the sniveling SWEs at Microsoft deserve less.
Part of that less which I shall forever withhold is my money and my endorsement of their basic capacity to ethical computing. Microsoft engineers are simply not respectable with regards to any ideals of user empowerment they may pretend to hold.
