Gemini version available ♊︎Microsoft Doesn’t Like Open Source; It’s Badmouthing, Stereotyping, Attacking It (to Shift Blame)

Summary: This week I found out that a dear old friend lost all his money (about 150,000 pounds) due to a Microsoft LinkedIn scam; watch how Microsoft blames unpopular nation states, “open source”, the victims, and attackers (basically anyone but Microsoft), just as it does when defects in its software go unfixed for months
