FOSS friendly company

I'm not sure what you are smoking but you're high as balls dude. If there is any company that has as it's motto "fuck and destroy open source" and as slogan "fuck everything for money", then it's Microsoft.

Microsoft paid SCO to make false claims against Linux in an attempt to destroy Linux and extort large companies away from Linux. The destroy part failed, but they got multiple large companies to steer away from Linux. Normal people would go to jail for that, Microsoft execs not so much.

Totally agree with that. MS is an evil fuck company hellbent on destroying Linux from the inside. But Linux is not a container or box or thing one can just destroy. It's been fun watching them support Linux to try to infiltrate something. They haven't realized that there's nothing to infiltrate.

They haven’t realized that there’s nothing to infiltrate.

There's always something. The whole point of infiltration is that it shouldn't be detected until the frog is edible.

Ridiculing one's enemy is just always the wrong thing to do, no exceptions.

They're latest strategy is to be FOSS.... Ohh look at us! We can run Ubuntu from Windows now! We give money to Foss for development. Let's give foss GitHub so they can store all their software safely with us!..blah blah bam! Let's make this free software not free anymore...let's fire these key Foss people...let's make GitHub hard to access. Microsoft is a sneaky bastard for sure.
