Should be noted that Github's success comes from the community and existed before Microsoft bought it.

Yep, if the FCC or anyone actually gave a shit they would implement caps on fees based on usage. None of these assholes are doing us a favor. $70 a month when I stream podcasts, watch low def streaming from Tubi and that's it? Lick my balls comcrap
Re:Time for TikTok to cut its ties to China

What about Snapchat/Tencent? What about the military aged men crossing the border from Mexico? What about the Chinese owned businesses buying up land around military bases? Or the ones who own food manufacturers in the US? Or all the Chinese owned aviation companies operating in America? What about academia? What about Microsoft?

Re:Is Snapchat is real spying app acting as IM?

Yes - Tencent (China) owns 12% of it. China lures guys to Snapchat via dating apps (Tinder) probably to blackmail them.

MTG is bananas but she's right, why start at tiktok when there are battalions of military aged Chinese males crossing the border through Mexico, scores of Chinese tech companies operating in the US legally, and companies/politicians (like Microsoft and the Clintons) who sold America out to China decades ago. Tiktok ban is almost superficial

Lots of Clinton associates also worked for Microsoft. My guess is that Microsoft and the Clintons/Obama/libs sold the country out to China and are now trying to play victim.
I'm a-political but this is the pattern I see.

Re:Microsoft Security-101: Open-Source curriculum
on Saturday March 02, 2024 @08:22AM (#39572344)
Haha. This. Except it wasn't stolen they flat out gave it away and sold out America to China. That's why they put so much effort into trying to spin Microsoft as some forward fighter in infosec these days even though anyone with a half of a brain knows that Microsoft is the greatest liability in security/democracy and engaged in espionage against the US. They should stick to what they do best, steal other people's ideas/concepts/some current trend in tech, try and rebrand it as a Microsoft thing and weaponize litigation to capitalize on it.

I've converted a handful of some of the least computer tech heavy people to Linux. This was years ago.
The final few nails of Microsoft's coffin are being nailed as we speak. Not only because they are just fundamentally bad at innovation, but because they also sold out the United States to China. Billy boy is scared, and he should be.
