i mean, then you say it like that…
- midtake 4mo agoMicrosoft is the inverse hand of Midas, turns everything into shit.
- pixl97 4mo agoWith $101 billion in profit last year I wish I could turn things into $hit as well as they do.
- andrei_says_ 4mo agoYou could, with a large enough captive audience.
- jrgd 4mo agoor a large enough hand
- dbalatero 4mo agoMierdas, as they say.
- bhadass 4mo agothese days it's just Microslop
- loloquwowndueo 4mo agoEverything Microsoft makes sucks. If they decided to make vacuum cleaners though, they wouldn’t suck, they would blow.
- lysace 4mo agoJust five years ago this opinion was heresy on HN. Those of us who still remembered their behavior in the 80s/90s were belittled. "They have changed, gramps. This really smart Satya Nadella is CEO. They are the good guys now. Don't be so bitter over old stuff like systematic use of illegal tactics to attempt to kill all of its competitors including Linux." Also: Note that the headline undersells the news dramatically. The article begins with: "GitHub has confirmed that roughly 3,800 internal repositories were breached after one of its employees installed a malicious VS Code extension."
- cwnyth 4mo agoPretty sure that was astroturfing.
- lysace 4mo agoI always wondered what the division of pro-MS astroturfing was betweeen: a) Waggener Edstrom (now: WE Communications) or similar b) Microsoft employees c) Third-party Microsoft-only developers/IT people (with an obvious vested financial interest)
- loloquwowndueo 4mo agoWell the vacuum cleaner joke is very old, was true then, is true now, has continued to be true despite some people having the wool pulled over their eyes and thinking that Microsoft was no longer the enemy at some point. They have always been the enemy. Stay on your toes, don’t let them in.
