LinkedIn could never be trusted anyway :)

But I think all these different divisions just act radically different within microsoft. What is absolutely certain is that the Windows team cannot be trusted, as they have shown repeatedly.

GitHub has not broken my trust in them yet. I'm sure one day it'll happen; statistically it's more likely than not. But what's the point in pre-empting it, exactly?

Yep, LinkedIn was always bad. But I don't trust GitHub or Mojang to any greater degree. They're all Microsoft, and will burn you sooner or later.

I abandoned GitHub as soon as MS bought it, but I think my choice was a good one. If I hadn't, then I would have felt betrayed by the copilot stuff.
