They’ve worked very very hard in the past to extinguish and annihilate a lot of the values HN stands for. Either you’re too young or didn’t follow tech back then but MS and Gates truly did evil moves to try and kill any and all competition, especially Linux and open source. Many of us remember.
That was the bad old days. Things got better under Nadella. Just like they got steadily more evil at Google. There are no big corporations you can trust in the long term, but at least MS is behaving reasonably well right now.

Just, no. Pulseaudio legitimately screwed up Audio on Linux for years and is a major source of headaches, even still today, for anyone trying to do audio properly on Linux. Thank FNORD for Pipewire, meanwhile.
Did you actually use Linux audio before pulse audio? It sure was great only using sound from one application at once.
