…Who would be in the Microsoft Discord? Why?

Wasn’t there some old internet saying that once megacorps join a social media platform en masse, it’s uncool? What happened to that?

believe it or not there are microsoft fanboys so it doesn’t surprise me there is a discord. You can also find A LOT of them on bluesky of all places where they seem to be worse than the “just use linux” people.

Jesus fucking christ, proselyting for the majority OS for a corporation worth billions?

hundreds of billions are still billions
Hundreds of billions are also thousands. Orders of magnitude matter.
And it’s a ~3 Trillion dollar company, so…
Maybe to you, I wouldn’t pay that much myself
If you’re buying any broad market funds with your 401k… Then you are.
Joke’s on me, I don’t have any retirement savings!
Hundreds of billions is a more accurate figure. You could’ve also said they’re worth multiple dollars and had been correct.
