First and foremost, most devs probably see it as a job and they do what they're told. They don't have the power to refute decisions coming from above.
Second, in this economy where jobs are scarer than a needle in multiple haystacks, people are desperate to get a job.
Third, yes, there may be some Microsoft (M$) fan-people who end up being devs at M$. Sure, they may willingly implement the things upper management may request. However, I'm not sure whether that's true for most of the people who work at M$.
Your comment suggests to shift the blame to the devs who implement the features that upper management request for. Don't shoot the (MSN) messenger.

Looks cool and I'm glad something new has arrived after nitter.
A few things, however:
It doesn't look like I can view comments on tweets; I can only view the tweet. (Firefox mobile if that matters)
It's pretty slow. It's not a big problem, but it is very noticeable.
Somewhat irrelevant, but why is it called TWStalker? It's a... bit of a weird name. 'Stalker' makes me feel like I'm doing something illegal even though I definitely am not.
See Wendover Productions' most recent video, "The Increasing Reality of War in Space" (from around 7:54); they talk about SpaceX launching unknown satellites and not reporting it either.
In typography, kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning adjusts the space between individual letterforms while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters.
Ah, maybe the whole context wasn't added here, but I tried to download an XPI file for a different program that uses Firefox under the hood (called Zotero). I wanted to download the file to install it manually for the other program.
Firefox naturally thought that the XPI file was meant for itself and tried to install it. The XPI file was never intended for Firefox.
Edited to add: probably a pretty obscure thing that I noticed, but it's still bizarre.
You put it quite perfectly. The tone... ugh I didn't like that it was all over the place. I have a lot more to say, but it's mainly just agreeing with you.
Will you (the community) be setting your username to your public username (a username you use everywhere) or something that's different from your public username?
Idk why, but signal feels more... personal(?) and I'd hate for general people to stumble across my signal account just by guessing whether my signal username is my public username.
I'd be fine if they got my Discord account, mastodon account, Lemmy account (they're all different usernames anyway) because they're public-ish accounts. Signal feels less public and I'd want to go with a username that only I can send to people I know.
It looks like there will be a message requests area and it looks like usernames can also be changed (should a username ever be doxxed).
Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine's humorous "Feedback" column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames. These included a book on polar explorations by Daniel Snowman and an article on urology by researchers named Splatt and Weedon. These and other examples led to light-hearted speculation that some sort of psychological effect was at work.
I recently had an issue with my computer freezing occasionally on a Deb12 Linux 6.1 where no errors showed up in syslog after a force reboot.
The way I finally found out about the issue was having dmesg open on a different monitor and waiting for the freeze to happen. Just before the freeze did happen, a number of error logs were spewed to dmesg - enough for me to catch a glimpse of the issue: intel WiFi.
I'm not saying that intel WiFi is your issue. I'm suggesting you keep dmesg -w open in another monitor (if you can) and go about your normal activity until a freeze happens.
