mlg@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoSeriously for all the protests and walkouts over Gaza last year, my main thought was “didn’t you know MSFT/Google/Meta is literally evil?”
I can’t blame anyone for wanting a stable income, but you might as well be working for Lockheed Martin. There’s a reason why these megacorps stay in an oligopoly at the top, and it has nothing to do with talent or quality solutions.

15 years ago Google was a cool tech company that open sourced a lot of their projects.
That was no longer the case long before Gaza though

15 years ago you were naive enough to believe their bullshit and public perception was still important to their success. “Embrace, extend, extinguish” isn’t healthy participation in open source. Think M$ was the one who actually stated things that way, but google was absolutely playing the same game
