@amoroso Microsoft embracing linux and capitalising on unpaid work while shedding its own paid employees & closing native projects.
Are those barbed wire loops in the background?
@vnikolov I was wondering too.
@amoroso
The people in charge of Azure, Azure's VMs, and Azure's OS all stood together in a room. Which part of this is meant to be surprising?
@amoroso pretty easy. Capitalism recuperates revolutionary concepts since it was invented.
"If you cant beat them, make them join you."
@haui It's a visual metaphor of corporate control over Linux and open source.
@amoroso in a vacuum, yes. But its much more than that if you put it in perspective. It is the systemic way of reintegrating uncomfortable concepts.
Linux was never supposed to become this successful. People fighting for FOSS are much more resilient than the capitalist overlords anticipated.
They are merely upping the measures a bit. They do the same to all revolutionaries. Che Guevara, Tupac Shakur, Martin Luther King, etc. They accept them into their arms and strip the revolutionary aspect.
