I am not worried about the firing part. This lady and her friends must have been added to the DHS list. They are going to deport her if she is on any visa or PR.

Ah, yes, nothing quite like retaliating against someone who says you did a bad thing. Sure showed them!

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 252 points 1 month ago (15 children)

the email to Aboussad reads. “It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have.”

Obviously there were going to fire these employees, especially the one who gave notice then did this.

But why the fuck would anyone be like “yOu DiDn’T eVeN aPoLoGiZe To ThE cOmPaNy”? That’s the stupidest god damn thing I’ve heard since “Liberation Day”

What about "you haven't even thanked us!" to Zelensky?

Of course they did

Not surprising, also seems like lawsuit material.

In terms of Microsoft suing her?

I guess it would depend on her contract, as Microsoft do profit from war so I would doubt a libel type case would get far.

Microsoft has policy that prevents it from retaliatory actions against human rights violations. Court should rule Microsoft violated its own policies...

prevents it from retaliatory actions against human rights violations

They can't retaliate if someone violates human rights?

Is anyone surprised? Maybe the surprising part is that she's still alive and only got fired.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 65 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Don't worry, she's probably getting deported/disappeared soon.

???

I've never had an xbox before, so pardon my ignorance. But you can install linux OS's on xbox?

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Well, not on a modern Xbox. On the OG XBox however...

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

You can get game pass for PC so, probably that way around

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Ah, ok. That makes more sense.
