    He’s still right that it’s weird people like you are going to bat to defend them. Microsoft sucks. It must get tiring if you have to call out every inaccurate thing everyone says to try to tear them down. The important take-home message is that we need to tear them down, they suck.

    You don’t see people bothering to defend Epstein, for example. Even though there’s lots of inaccurate stuff going around, there’s enough accurate stuff to be absolutely confident he was an absolute loathsome piece of shit not worth defending. Not worth the effort to defend. Why bother?

    What do you see in Microsoft that you think is worth defending? Github is shit, and it’s evil. Let it go.

      Yeah man, why would accuracy be important? They burn baby owls to fuel their cars too, so why would it be important to be accurate in statements?

      If you’re going to shit on a company, come with receipts. Else you’re just reinforcing the idea that people will make shit up to discredit the company. It makes it easier to dismiss legit claims.

      If I said that Israel was starting forest fires with space lasers, then also said they were committing genocide, the earlier claim lowers my credibility and makes it easier to dismiss the latter.
