Yeah that's definitely not being followed anymore.

It's called a protest. Social movements protest to get a message across.
You think they'd get permission?
Also, this isn't really a protest.. A vigil. Microsoft is a trash corporation. None of this is surprising.

Are Overemployed ‘Ghost Engineers’ Making Six Figures to Do Nothing?
I'm not even going to bother to take this seriously at all.
There's something to be said about unfulfilling and 'bullshit jobs'. Aside from the potentially dubious methodology here, consider the implications of this 'finding'.
How about look at the rentier and profit sapping features of these massive tech companies.

I won't use anything other popular other than signal. There are some other cool apps like simplex behind for but I keep that for my enthusiasts out there.
People who don't want to keep in touch and still use WhatsApp despite WhatsApp using the signal protocol make me wonder how much they want to keep in touch with me and how much they understand their tools and devices.
I also wonder what other bullshit apps they use as well but won't install signal.
Luckily I have friends and family who indeed do want to stay in touch and who also recognize the implications of using questionable software. I keep them close.

No one is rooting for Trump. He represents a movement that is an existential threat to all of us.
But it's insulting to assume automatic support from a voters where turn out isn't high and it's generally a challenge to get people out to vote.
Stop blaming people for their right to choose, especially over something as traumatic as a genocide.
Can you explain to me why the Democrats have been allowing this to happen?
The DNC had the time to parade Republicans at their convention but couldn't even find time to listen to one, just one, voice regarding the ethnic cleansing thata going on, under their watch?
Please, I need some explanations here.
