Microsoft Makes An Interesting Improvement To Kernel Modules With Linux 6.13

What's so special about this that microshit must be in headline? Mike Rapoport was sending commits from IBM email in the past and nobody cared. How much microsoft paid you for this propaganda?

Did you know they made a song about you?

Very catchy little number.

Alright, imagine you just baked the most delicious cookies ever. They're warm, gooey, and perfect. But what if you left them in an ugly jar? No one would know how amazing your cookies are, right?

Writing articles that people will actually open is kind of like making sure people want to grab a cookie. If you write something great but no one clicks to read it, your hard work doesn’t reach anyone.

Why are they allowing an evil company like Microsoft to submit code that improves Linux performance?

I wouldn't trust anything coded by Microsoft, you see what a mess Windows is, broken by design, full of bugs, with built in spyware, always getting hacked, why would you want that for Linux?

Linus and friends should be ashamed of themselves, selling out like this.

Boo, hiss.

The simple answer is because we're not North Korea where we punish subsequent generations for the previous generation's actions. The position of, "Well, you were a bit of a monopolized dick back in the day so toss off." and then never giving them a chance at redemption by participating in the currently agreed upon ethically and morally correct manners is a rather fucked up position to have. Dare I say it, that's a rather fascist and authoritarian take to have. That doesn't describe the kind of place where I'd want to live.

To ask an different, yet equal, question, why should we allow a person like Kent to submit code to Linux? He just messed up. He broke the rules. That would then make him "evil". I guess in your world Kent should never get to commit to the kernel ever again. He's evil. Evil people are right out. That's promoting Rules without Redemption. You should be ashamed of yourself for even promoting such a horrible concept. Everyone makes mistakes. Not letting people, companies, governments, or anything else own up to whatever was done, try to make things right, tp do right going forward, or whatever is applicable ... not having the compassion or empathy to allow for redemption or acceptance of apology is what I think is evil.

I'm not sure how many levels of trolling are here.

While Microsoft was "entering product categories involving widely used open standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and using the differences to strongly disadvantage its competitors"... some people said that Microsoft was doing what "Microsoft considers important for their customers"...

Thanks to the inclusive troll hierarchy there's not much penalty to a miss, troll latency is pretty low.

it seems that memory management is a thing nowadays (this, the folio, etc.). really exciting times and it's good to be a linux user.

[User29]

incomprehensive trolling

bad bot. bad.

I mean, one reason to point out it is MS doing it is to declare victory over their previous business models you have forced them to change and rub it in their faces.
