Why? Microsoft gives them a ton of money for CI and infrastructure. Unless they are having serious technical issues I don’t see why they would move to a more expensive and probably less well integrated CI provider.
More importantly, Actions is created by monkeys and completely neglected. After the CEO of GitHub said to “embrace AI or get out”, it seems the lackeys at Microsoft took the hint, because GitHub Actions started “vibe-scheduling”; choosing jobs to run seemingly at random. Combined with other bugs and inability to manually intervene, this causes our CI system to get so backed up that not even master branch commits get checked.
To show some backbone. Microsoft was involved in enough abominable things in the last years alone; any one of them is reason enough to boycott them for it.
I wouldn’t say those are “abominable” either. AI is fine. Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure…
They’re operating infrastructure. They aren’t going to morally vet every single customer. Imagine how many dubious things run on AWS that we never hear about!

I must have missed those abominable things…? You don’t mean the ICE stuff?
maybe they also mean Israel/Gaza or the AI push

After months of pressure and trying to silence internal criticism.
I had to look it up to make sure “months of” is correct. Wikipedia has the infos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft#Israeli_military_support 2023-2025, various employees fired
“Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure” doesn’t really cover or adequately represent their behavior regarding this topic.
