Microsoft is a giant, unscrupulous profitmonster. Lies
- Apes 8y agoBut what company isn't these things to some degree? Even if there were somehow a theoretical Altruism Corp, then it wouldn't survive very long being a generous lossmonster, would it? It's about what shade of grey you want, not about choosing black or white.
- jhare 8y agoI'm not demanding altrusim from a company, just scruples and actual independence, not stated. I'd far prefer Github have the scruples more than caring about what MS does at this point. MS doesn't tick that box for me historically and the smile on the new CEOs face doesn't trick me either. When the good cop leaves and the lawyers swoop in everybody's eyes get clawed out. Seems to me also GH is underestimating their FOSS following and how important that it was indep.?
