@atomicpoet How what starts? What analogous situation have they EEE'd recently? Intimately familiar with all their offerings since DOS 3, and I don't see the play here. To do a Google and bully their way into fediverse standards as Google did web?

@tehstu Not once have I suggested that they intend to "EEE". I suggest reading the entire thread in full.

@atomicpoet I did, I guess I don't understand your point. Microsoft are here to flog Everything as a Service, which is Nadella's entire spiel. If that's what you're saying, then I agree.

@atomicpoet My fault, that Microsoft would be flogging Stuff as a Service here was obvious to me so I thought (likely, misread) the thread as describing something else, such as meddling in standards a la Meta, potentially.

But yeah, they're just doing their thing, on every community folks will listen. Although, I do think some are just genuinely posting the same inane stuff as some of the rest of us, even if specific employees seem to have community outreach as part of their role.
