Hey Guys, Microsoft is cool now, they really care for Open Source now, they changed.
How do people always forget, how often they get fucked by that company in the last 20 years, that they think anything changed? They still abuse their monopoly, they still buy up the work of others and they still will then dilute it down for their bottom line and restrict it to force you to use a login to harvest data on your profile (see also Windows).
Everyone who said it's cool that MS bought Github, because they are now Pro-Open-Source: Can we please have a round table every 2 years and talk. Because I think you guys are victims of the Stockholm syndrome and do not even notice.
FYI, there is no forcing here. Heavy suggestions, but no forcing. I've never used a MS or Hotmail account to log into Windows 10 or 11.
If some has to know to unplug the internet, try to sign up, and force an error to bypass sign up...
It is forcing.
