"Memeless" Linux Rep to Microsoft: Sorry we already have a boyfriend.
In news sure to devastate fans and slaves of the megacorporation alike, it has been reported that Microsoft has faced a crippling rejection in its advances on Linux.
“Microsoft loves Linux” is the latest catchphrase by the Redmond company as it continues to embrace Open Source. But a spokesperson for Linux says [sudosatirical.com] that it was a step too far.
“Well, it hasn’t been well received, let’s say that,” said the spokesperson, who wished to remain (sic) memeless.
“It started off some time ago with Microsoft playing a little hard to get, deliberately being a bit mean even. Saying some hurtful things. But then things started getting a bit creepy. Microsoft starting sending little gifts, and appearing in various places Linux happened to be.”
“People found that creepy enough. Then along came the ‘Microsoft Loves Linux’ thing, complete with a love heart emoji and everything. It’s enough to make you barf.”
They just better be careful with push requests from Redmond.
