No corpos does something for the good of the people. It just so happen that this particular thing does.
Behind every move, there is a price tag attached to it.
By doing that, Microsoft is trying to get good PR.
You’re not wrong, but if we want companies to keep doing things for good PR, we need to reward them for it.
They’re basically giant badly trained dogs that happen to control every aspect of our lives.

Microsoft primary motivation was not to benefit the community, but to gain good PR in that case. It just so happen that this move also benefits the community as well.
And that’s my point. Sometimes, corpos’ decisions benefit the community, but this is only a side effect, not the intended purpose.

Because they’re crap. Pretty obvious right?

All I said was MS is crap. I stand behind my statement. Looks like their PR team is working overtime here.

As the great philosopher and poet, George Bush, said:
Fool me once can’t get fooled again!
This made me look up the wikipedia page on Bushism and I must say it’s beautiful! Thanks :)
It’s almost like they have a terrible track history and hold the gold medal for antitrust and enshitification.

To be fair, there is a young up and comer in that space. They could challenge the enshittification GOAT.
People have experience.
If someone evades billions in taxes but one day donates 50 dollars it doesn’t absolve their wrongdoings whatsoever. This is just an attempt at trying to improve their image.

These corpos are very vocal in arguing to maintain their low tax contributions so perhaps you’re right.

They have burned their good will and trust long ago. When someone untrustworthy suddenly does something nice, you look for hidden hooks and definitely dont just take them for their word. If they actually did something nice then good for them, maybe if they keep it up they could eventually clean their reputation a little.
Nobody forced them to be ruthless monsters and monopolize computers for 40 years.
It’s embarrassing at times, much like it was almost two decades ago when Slashdot used to shit on “Micro$oft” for everything. Lemmy also has a tendency to be emotional to tech news rather than factual, so there’s that too.
Pretty much every tech company is shit in some way, but it’s not productive to call it out everywhere. This is a good thing.
