This stance reminds me a bit of SQLite's stance on contributions:

SQLite is open-source but it is not open-contribution. All the code in SQLite is written by a small team of experts. The project does not accept "pull requests" or patches from anonymous passers-by on the internet

The main reason in their case is that they want to maintain the code as pure public domain, so don't want it "tainted" by contributions of unknown origin that might later cause issues if used.

I've yet to meet anyone that wants a muskraTmobile.

Don't you mean the first eight times?

At first misread that as 'shooting a cat away' and was "Damn, Apple getting nasty under Ternus!"

I prefer to call those glasses the same way I call Meta[stasize] itself: "Privacy Raping".

There's white people from those regions too.

I didn't say they should be ignored. Just not listen to their bullshit. I still know they're spewing their bullshit without having to listen to it. And knowing they're spewing bullshit means I can act accordingly.

My intuition is not to listen to rich white assholes.

So then, who have they given themselves permission to attack now?

I'm not bashing England.

(P.S. because you've already proven yourself to be clueless and you didn't understand what I meant just now: the ARM architecture you're referring to was created by Acorn Computers, originally from England in the U.K.)

Yeah, "jealous". Ok boomer.

You're assuming these were out of pocket costs borne by the user, as happens in the United Shitholes of America (new official name, because the rest of the world can rename things too!)

Or, depending on how things go, you might be able to become a contractor MS hires.

This is essentially what happened to my neighbour, who was an IBM employee for 30 years when in the 90s IBM decided to downsize by offering buyouts. He took it (good severance), and then less than a year later ended up contracting for the exact position he had because IBM was now short staffed due to how many people opted into the buyouts.

He ended up with about the same or higher pay as a contractor as I recall.

You misspelt "Republitards" (that's right - the rest of the world can rename things too!)
