The Unfunny Joke That Microsoft Cares for 'Developer Rights'

Summary: Microsoft propaganda urging software developers to find comfort in a prison of Microsoft (proprietary software monopoly) is a symptom of dying media, or thinly-veiled PR looking for a buck

NO company has been more of an enemy of developers than Microsoft itself, yet this site and its sister sites (with "Linux" in their name) have the audacity to spread Microsoft propaganda, saying it will "Defend Developers". Because it is trying to besiege and enslave them. We've not come far since the "Arctic Vault" media blitz, timed and likely designed to distract from Microsoft/GitHub embracing racist policies and helping ICE.



If this kind of media is dying, we welcome its death. It deserves this. Microsoft PR is not journalism (see ZDNet). It does damage rather than inform. It basically profits from misinformation and disinformation.
