Are you extending this phrase to Google or are you seriously accusing Microsoft for letting Google use their product? It really surprises me out of all places

Are you extending this phrase to Google or are you seriously accusing Microsoft for letting Google use their product?
It really surprises me out of all places HN has users who default to commenting based on a regex of keywords. Doesn't matter the context, does the article have (Windows|Microsoft) let me throw in a comment about embrace, extend, and extinguish and nothing more that adds value to the discussion. It is sad to find out that even Reddit has grown past it.
- sudioStudio64 11y agoI was joking dude. It was a joke because people always put that in any post about Microsoft. So, it was sarcasm. But way to be a tool about it.
- nivla 11y agoThen put a sarcasm tag on it or write it such a way that it is obvious it is a joke. The fact you received a few downvotes for it implies that there were others who took it more as a snark than a joke. Keep in mind, this is HN, people come here for serious discussions (although subjectable), so it is hard to get away with a joke, especially a one that adds little or none to the discussion.
