Microsoft does not want 🐧 🗺 domination. It just wants domination over the 🐧 and the 🗺.

https://t.co/eX4IU7vGxA @fossforce belittles what I said having spoken to the person who, according to HIGH-profile FOSSers, a #microsoft apologist— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
While I cannot name the people who told me about #microsoft apologists in #apache or #asf (strictly private conversations that would cause a mess if disclosed), for @fossforce to ask the accused if she/he's guilty would obviously not go far. What about … https://t.co/Nb2frbtvw0

BTW, that #ASF head was a #microsoft employee is not "conspiracy" (theory?) but a fact; Jim's Microsoft apologism is a mater of extensive public record, @fossforce
I wasn't name-calling; I was pointing out simple observable, verifiable facts— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
To sum up the FOSSForce piece, #ASF and #Apache are/were not taken over by Microsoft interests, based on people who are themselves representing those #Microsoft interests.
That's like a court asking a person, "are you guilty?"— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
If you don't accept simple, observable, verifiable facts, then you are crazy and may need to be hospitalised – love, your #microsoft apologist https://t.co/mQijnVW4Oo

#microsoft is…. "open" https://t.co/35BU65CV61

Repelling the company that bribes officials to dump #freesw is not "infighting" but self-defense https://t.co/HZXACjhn6N
— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
No, #microsoft just learned that it can better combat #freesw by taking over from the inside. Which is precisely what it has done, helped by a PR campaign ("Microsoft loves Linux" etc.) https://t.co/oSpQTv40ny
— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
Yes, #microsoft is the most open company in the world. It even opened up to ICE #dhs #concentrationcamps https://t.co/wqoiMYACYW
— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
Maybe you missed it, but #microsoft hijacked the #election system itself. Then lobbied to keep it that way, by attacking FOSS itself: https://t.co/fyxSSdwHy4https://t.co/R2mUiFmaiw also: Microsoft and FB work together, share all the data

#microsoft nearly bought #facebook
Microsoft was an early investor in Facebook#zuckerberg said he nearly worked for Microsoft#fb sends ALLLL its data to #microsoft https://t.co/IzJPjHYXFrhttps://t.co/512WZVBc4o— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
OSI took #microsoft money 2 years ago
Now Microsoft is inside its Board (and writes blog posts for OSI)https://t.co/yoOOhHt6aThttps://t.co/9owQaZc0Wr— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
Some cops' existence is simply predicated on tearing down crime https://t.co/aHb72CLohs

#microsoft assault on #gnu #linux and #freesw is not the past but the present; they just try to hide that better (SCO, Black Duck etc.) https://t.co/plK3XjNgwx

Whose trust? Yours maybe. https://t.co/s7o1TxyH27

Since joining #OIN #microsoft has leveraged #patents yet again against #linux [1] so clearly Microsoft is trying to change perception rather than itself.

The following year #microsoft entered the OSI's Board (and all of Microsoft's big products are still #proprietarysoftware ) https://t.co/QHA1LrNnMc https://t.co/AmJzeT4Soi
— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
#billgates is still in charge of #microsoft (like he was in charge of #ballmer as the 'God' of the Board, who can fire Nadella) https://t.co/ILZrIlQ83R
— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
#microsoft is even more under control of #billgates than ever… now that #paulallen (who later became a #patenttroll ) is dead. Remember how he and Ballmer schemed to take over Allen's shares when he revealed he had become morbidly ill?
— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
It remains to be seen if #ASF and #OSI can further distance themselves from #proprietarysoftware (which took top positions in them) https://t.co/yoOOhHt6aT https://t.co/d587BAQoEN
— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
Thankfully he's stepping down (I've responded to and/or refuted a few) https://t.co/41M1m9jRF9 #asf #apache

Being willfully blind to someone else's intolerance (and attacks on oneself) is not a virtue but a fatal weakness. Lessons for @linuxfoundation @opensourceorg ASF etc.
— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
Jim from Apache/ASF does not need to worry about #microsoft (so in a narrow sense he's right)
They love him, he's helping them. They want try to get him fired. https://t.co/DaLbmlNhB7— Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) July 2, 2019
