Because noone has stated an injury and made a complaint about it. It's likely that there's some copyright infringement going on with the current state of the repo (due to lack of the author's adherence to the requirements of the license). That could be subject to a DMCA notice if any of the previous contributors decided to make one.
Conspiracy would be more appropriate, no? Thing is, when you conspire to attack a corporation, you have FBI agents bending over backwards for you and your precious profits. When you conspire to attack a bunch or normal people, you're lucky if anyone does anything at all.
We are a smaller company, only 10 users. We are in the process of fully ditching Microsoft for a full linux stack using Samba for AD (for the leprosy known as Quickbooks alone). I've blocked MS at the pihole and was expecting people to bring torches and pitchforks. The general consensus was we should have done this years ago and how did you make my computer so much faster. To hell with Microsoft and their tripe.
Nice. I've also blocked Microsoft Teams in the sense that I won't work for a company that uses it, or any of the Office suite for that matter. Always willing to "unblock" it should Microsoft have an epiphany some day and decide to invest in building good products.
Hopefully the OP already migrated repositories elsewhere and only allows Microsoft GitHub to open merge requests to projects that have yet to institute a mirror or mailing list.
While I appreciate the enthusiasm of the "Czar" the fact of the matter is the industry has had decades to "self police". Let the whole industry burn to the ground- it earned it.
I'm curious about examples in which industry self policing has actually worked in favor of customers. My intuition is that in an unregulated environment, incentives are the only thing that matters, and if one shop has a competitive edge by not observing some industry self police, it'll come out ahead and drive the alternatives to extinction. Perhaps the closest thing to this is to not be so extortive as to draw attention from regulators, but that's really just the incentive of going as far as possible before consequences. It seems this particular industry has miscalculated the position of the fine line.
lol, I bought a dozen bright tritium vials as gifts for some coworkers, but I was going to deliver them in person a couple of months later, so I held on to them until then. It was hard to let them go!
Glue one to your deadbolt handle, and you can see whether the door is locked at a glance, from across a dark house! Hang them from your ceiling fan pulls, and no more fumbling around for them in the dark! (for complicated reasons, we don't control ours with the switch) Putting one on your keychain is a no-brainer, but still an awesome idea! And so on...
Reminds me of a game I played years ago and they made a minor "tweak" to the code and a bunch of plugin mods no longer worked. Yes Turbine- Asheron's Call was much better with the third-party plug ins, but I still was playing AC even with my fancy UI on top of it. But funny when that change was made all of the cheaters that would set their bots to go camp spawns disappeared and the game got that much better. History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme.
(Now release AC to the public so I can go back to Eastham)
