50 years too long. Let's hope fewer developers use your things and move to actually good products that don't have tires to some of the worst scum avaliable. Like moving from github to codeberg, for example so they aren't helping ICE, or LLM bullshit.

Happy birthday Microsoft, I won’t wish you dead because we need diversity in tech. Just don’t buy any more stuff. 🎊🥳🍾🪩
-
I do wish them dead, we need fewer proprietary companies which help cops and steals code for their LLM bullshit. Also less FUD and smears against FOSS, they are not FOSS' friend and the sooner FOSS developers realise this and move to codeberg or their own forgejo instances the better.
-
Aside from the proprietary bit, there's also an argument over companies existing for so long also just perpetuating wealth inequality since the same families hoard the wealth that the company generates. I wish I could remember where I saw the argument (I feel like it was probably an article associated with NPR), I found the arguments against allowing companies to reach 100 years old quite compelling.

In a perfect world that makes everyone happy there’s 5 Apples, 5 Microsofts, 10 open source projects funded by governments and 20 independent open source alternatives, all working same interoperable standards. I wish for a perfect world.

on its 50th anniversary, let's all remember that microsoft has been profiting massively off the genocide in palestine and has recently been targeted by BDS: https://noescapevg.com/xbox-has-been-added-to-the-bds-list-so-what-now/
