Lmao. Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service. Microsoft simply doesn't know how to make profit out of AI because it is not profitable for anyone right now. So they are adding AI to Windows 11, GitHub, Office, and everything else they own, hoping that somewhere, somehow, profit will magically show up for shareholders.

Wow that would be amazing! I think it is fun to imagine how much more oxygen would be in the room if M$ no longer existed. It's fun to imagine Oracle going under too and Larry Ellison losing a bunch of bread.

I suspect if something like that would happen, it would be a real "year of the Linux Desktop" for which some people have spend two decades or more waiting.
