not sure if this referring to anything specifically but M$ has lots of open source stuff and also invests in Linux - just saying.

It was their CEO's stated opinion around the turn of the millennium: https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/

Forgot to check the community, didn’t realize they were just makin a meme

24 years ago is a long ass time ago haha

That hasn’t always been true. This meme is older than Microsoft being open source friendly.

Right right, definitely memeable

Just wasn’t sure if it was a current criticism of current people and ideologies working at Microsoft
