it seems so innocent, lol
He was 22 years old. Pretty incredible.
If you except Google co-opting Linux to create the most terrible dystopian mobile surveillance platform ever to come this close to 1984, Microsoft co-opting it to pretend they like open-source and broaden the reach of their closed-source crap, and sonsabitches like Redhat, amazingly it mostly still is.
Uh, Android is the alternative to Apple's iOS. Android is much more customizable.
Which is kinda sad in its own way.
Think Different™ (But in the exact same way)
Think Different™ (Because we deprecated the service you liked and depended on because an internal team was jockeying for a higher position and rewrote what you loved but worse, so actually you are thinking different every year!)
Azure don’t give a shit what it runs. Windows is on its own these days; if they succeed, good for them, but honestly I think the days of Microsoft just pretending to give a shit about Linux are long gone; it’s an important OS to them too.
I’ve worked for Microsoft for 12 years, still have lots of friends there so I get some of the vibe from that.
Friends don't let friends use windows man. :p
That’s what he said
If you don't like what they are doing with Linux, because it is free and open source, participate in people that are using it in ways that you do like that they do it, or do it yourself.
There is nothing stopping you
Putting Red hat in the same group as Google and Microsoft is wild.
While Microsoft and Google merely pretend to like open source but transparently hate it, it is (was) not quite as obvious that red hat wanted to capture the enterprise Linux market wholesale. What red hat has done is terrible for the ecosystem, much more so than Microsoft just throwing out worthless tokens of appreciation.
You people are hilarious. Red Hat provides more GPL code than any company I can think of. Half of what people call GNU has Red Hat as the largest contributor.
Feels before reals.
It's not that far fetched, Google used to have somehow the same philosophy as current IBM-RedHat.
That's because Red hat recently started doing some Microsoft and Google like shit.
