Unfortunately, you can trust MS about as much as any company in 2024. The core ethos of OSS is, in many ways, a thing of the past.

- lenerdenator 2y agoThe FOSS community raised a generation of VC darlings who loved parroting the "we'll just do the hosting and keep the data, that's where the money is!" line, and who never considered (or ignored, or perhaps knew but didn't care about) the fact that the number must always go up. Not "must go up to a certain point and then everyone's happy", "always". There is no scenario under which some ghoul comes to Stanford, tells you you're Jesus Christ with a MacBook Pro, offers you millions of dollars to pursue your passion project if you drop out, and doesn't expect unending increases in returns even at the cost of the core philosophy of the software development community you came up in. That's literally their job.
