Replying to Avatar Layerjack (Onion Knight)

I like AOSP and Project Zero. I don't care much about the rest of Google. Had a couple of acquaintances working for them in Mountain View.

Why would I make another clone of twitter or discord? Boring. I'd rather escape into VR or drive all day selling white.

That makes sense.

But... Google is the evil big tech overload OG's younger, better linking brother. (MS is the original evil big tech company, IMO.)

This analogy is breaking my brain. Hard to reason about it cause the hardware changed so much from when MS was relevant.

I like Google as a much lesser evil compared to Apple not MS. I know Google hardware is a joke division in most peoples eyes, but I don't care. AOSP is superior to shit from Canonical or RedHat. Again, can't compare directly, different hardware.

Is modern Microsoft evil? Not at all too. VS code, github, hosting OpenAI.

Not everything that all big tech does is bad.

But the core mission of all the big tech companies is, IMO, evil.
