If anything I'd prefer Microsoft to acquire Github than say...Google.

Microsoft is not a perfect company but it's not the 2000s anymore and I'm a bit annoyed by the usual "Microsoft: Bad™" takes. Especially when other comp like Google/FB are actually doing harmful things in present days 🤷

I'll take "Has a shitty policy over Windows' copyright but largely contributes to open-source" over "has a hip image but builds military AI" thank you.
