@feditips @osc @ThePlant I'm curious - what platforms do you use? Unless it's like Linux or BSD or whatever, you're using a mass surveillance platform. Apple, too, collects vast amounts of data about its users, and lets the CCP control all of Apple users' data in China.

@feditips @osc @ThePlant Good! The fewer Windows/macOS users, the better. 😅

Microsoft first began contributing to the Linux kernel in 2009

@erin @feditips @thomholwerda @osc @ThePlant I remember when Microsoft lost the court battle for Internet Explorer and being a monopoly. It’s not hard to imagine that they do this because it’s good footing for them to not look like a monopoly. “See? We help the open source movement stay just competitive enough!”

At least that comes with no strings attached thanks to the license. I think that’s the critical part.
