No i believe that they are actively protect and promote their systems.
But the likelihood of them coordinating a meme based offensive against the, is it 4% now? of Linux users is very small compared to the likelihood of a self aware Linux user.
I am sure that you could turn this into me being hired by Microsoft to defend their agenda but in the end, the most plaussible explanation is usually the true one
But we're seeing an uptick recently like we haven't seen before, as it seems like the momentum is on the Linux side right now.
Also a standard good policy is to 'kill the baby in the crib', especially so when there seems to be more dissatisfaction with Windows 11 these recent days.
A potent combination of situations.
And finally, there's nothing wrong (from a CEOs point of view) with just 'beating down' your competition every day of the week, regardless of their current market share, especially when it's easy to do so.
Honestly? The thought has come to my mind, that you're actually an AI bot, part of the process to protect the current redirection of the narrative. Not hired by Microsoft per se, but a bot used by the company that any OS company would hire to shape the narrative.
And the fact that you brought it up first preemptively, and the way you use your verbiage, adds to the suspicion.
You're assuming yours is the most plausible explanation.
You keep dismissing the ease of use of using AI bots in today's environment to redirect the narrative, and how often we're seeing it done across all Internet-based media today.
There's companies out there that actually sell these services to corporations, and profit from doing so. Profit is always a strong motive generator.
I won't even try to convince you of the opposite or that i'm human. I even occasionally fail capcha tests so who knows!?
So you 'say'.
Honestly, I don't care either way if the sources are biological or electrical.
My concern is the message itself and the redirecting the narrative negatively away from good products/services, and not if it's a human or bot that's doing it.
My only point in mentioning bots is that they're very inexpensive to be used constantly (versus human beings), and are widely being used today.
