This is certainly not sane to presume that m$ is not pulling some strings in the shadows. Don't forget they own the linkedin database, they are "all-knowing" of ppl professional networks (or probably good chunks of them): targeted recruitment can be extremely efficient: you know, that "random" microsoft guy in the cafe who did offer you your current job. Amazon does employ the daughter of one of its most powerfull regulators in the USA... as a lobbyist (last week tonight show with John Oliver).

Is this that unfortunate that the "absolutely non-controversial" systemd (I don't run that horrible BIP) author ends up in m$? (irony).

"why ID software is not releasing doom glibc/linux builds anymore?" to learn that m$ bought their parent company. BTW, will that happen too for silk song (the game)?

How much of the linux kernel you have into the doz kernel?
