@pitbuster @feditips This is a patently false statement

Their pivot toward open source date back to 2013-ish, way before they started to invest in AI

@osc yeah, I was trolling on that one, I admit. But, they open source tools here and there, and how they actually contribute to the rest of the ecosystem? There are ton of "open source friendly" corporations that are still shit.

@osc Dude, you are the one that brought MS to the thread. Meta also had a lot of opensource contributions and it doesn't change the fact that they profit on surveillance, which is the point @feditips was making all along.

@pitbuster @feditips I literally never disputed that Meta nor Microsoft profit on surveillance lol

Reading is a skill you usually learn in primary school, what about exercising it?

@pitbuster Yeah really. But I've also seen a lot of techies say "Facebook has contributed React and does a lot for open source software, so let's not talk about the genocide" so it's not just economists who take this kind of position.

It's kind of like saying "Monsanto has a great Pride float, so it's just fine to take funding from them!"
