        Microsoft does not own systemd

        And even if they did, and put copilot into it, distros could still choose to not use it

            Actually, 100% of what I said is true. Let’s go through it together

            Microsoft does not own systemd

            True.

            The closest thing to an “owner” the project has would be Red Hat (not owned by MS), but it’s had over 2000 authors in its time.

            And even if they did, and put copilot into it, distros could still choose to not use it

            True.

            This in fact happens already. Lots of distros that use systemd only use some components of it. It’s GPL code, you can do that…

            Now let’s move on to Lennart Poettering.

            Yeah, he was one of the top people behind systemd, and he has now moved to a job within Microsoft. What’s your point? That doesn’t mean systemd is Microsoft property now. That’s not how it works lol. PulseAudio isn’t either.

    Why doesn’t MS do what Apple does with Writing Tools. Put it Rewrite at the OS level so that anything with text can access the feature? Doing this an app at a time is odd.

      Because Windows doesn’t support OS-wide text formatting/manipulation like macOS does.

      The system already existed in macOS so it was easy enough to plug writing tools into it, but to do the same in Windows would mean completely rewriting how Windows handles text display and editing (and no doubt causing an avalanche of compatibility issues with old apps).

      Microsoft is in conflict with itself if web apps, modern native apps, or classic native apps are the future. That’s why even different Microsoft applications feel as or even more disconnected from each other than using KDE applications under Gnome.

    No! Fucj you! I should have known the minute Microsoft started making you log in to use notepad windows was dead but this is unacceptable, note pad has exactly one purpose, to be as simple as possible. If I want Ai I will use any of a thousand other programs but keep my notepad sacred!

    Microsoft remains convinced we want clippy everywhere regardless of how many times we have rejected these solutions!
