From yesterday's "news" alone:

What is an Open Source Program Office and why you should have one: The openwashing hive known as OSI is now more closely connected to LF via TODO Group; these are proprietary people

Let’s get confidential! Canonical Ubuntu Confidential VMs are now generally available on Microsoft Azure: When did you sell to Microsoft and how much for, Mark Shuttleworth (MS)? a division of Microsoft? exclamation mark on a LIE

Ubuntu Confidential Virtual Machines come to Microsoft Azure: Layoffs, failure; Azure is surveillance; company that blocks Linux

Summary: Don't expect the Linux Foundation or OSI to speak out against Microsoft's latest crimes [1, 2, 3]; heck, even Ubuntu no longer competes with Windows because Microsoft paid the parent company to become a partner instead of competitor (hence WSL); this is what antitrust laws exist for! But nobody enforces them anymore, except when Microsoft lobbyists ask regulators to focus on other companies, weaponising enforcement to basically protect an abusive monopolist
