I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting
“Most of us hate microsoft” is honestly a pretty bold claim. They’re just a company that makes software. The vast majority of the world’s Linux users–which is to say, professionals who build or manage software that runs in Linux–don’t care about them one way or another.
This sub might have an ideological skew, but you still don’t know what people in here think about Microsoft.
I’m an old OS/2 user. Count me as a Microsoft hater.
No I hate MS. I won’t ever forget the pain that was developing edge cases around Internet Explorer (fuck IE 6, that shit was the worst).
To be fair, when ie6 came out it was a really good browser. The concept of evergreen browsers wasn’t broadly a thing back in 2001. Windows XP was a huge success and there was no way to convince the world to move off of it and many companies built their intranets specifically around ie6. I think it was Korea that built all their banking off of Active X.
I’m talking about the ideological skew
Microsoft has been a pain for Linux professionals and maintainers for decades. M$ called Linux a cancer and actively developed strategies to harm us. Look up halloween documents. No reason to believe they are different now.
