Omg please get yourself educated. Really scary to know people like you exist.
The post has been put out by the people that made Mastodon. Why should anyone trust you over them when you provide 0 arguments against them.
Embrace Extend Extinguish was always a Microsoft strategy and one they have been forced to abandon over the years. Their attitude changed towards open source because it doesn't work! I think you might be the one who is lacking in knowledge or "education" here.
Open source doesnt work? Would love to see a source on that one alone. Almost sounds like you have an agenda to sell.
I think you misinterpreted what they said. They meant "Their attitude changed towards open source because [Embrace, Extend, Extinguish] doesn't work"
That's exactly what I meant! Did I fail to write it clearly or is their reading comprehension no good?
I had to read it twice because I misinterpreted it the same way.
That "it" could be interpreted either as 'open source' or 'EEE' from the previous sentence.
The sentence itself is a little ambiguous but it's nothing major, it's easy enough to get the message from context
?
What's your question? Microsoft invented and then abandoned the EEE strategy because the strategy dosen't work! Open source never went away no matter what they did.
