@Mainebot i have takes but primarily im laughing at your CW 😂😂😂

thanks for being you

Microsoft gets a lot of hate, and some of it is deserved, but a lot of it comes from years of habituating that hate.

How many FOSS communities have been characterized as disinterested, distant, and unwilling to help despite being filled with good, genuinely caring people?

Apple users being strawmanned as hipsters with more money than brains.

@Mainebot
>disinterested

you mean uninterested

@Mainebot I would go further on the Foss one. I am always amazed that people expect Foss maintainers/leaders/bdfls, who started these projects for nothing and were not selected for management skills, to be good at those, and constantly fail to learn that they're often flawed (and now successful) people, and they have no interest in fixing their baggage. eg. this, emacs, python, Linux, whatever esr wrote, etc.

@c25l it's an unfair set of expectations that people constantly reinforce inside their social universe, empowered by a larger community willing to aggressively punish people who don't stick to the script.

@Mainebot preach

Anyways the point of all this is, evil aside, I would rather see a grossly over-wealthy company spend a fortune taking risks on hardware, overcoming prior failures and empowering disabled gamers over a grossly over-wealthy company hoard a fortune and utterly refuse to take a single risk.
