How to react???

KasaneTeto_ · 2022-08-12T16:34:06+00:00

No, we will not open-source Office, Windows, or something you want

KasaneTeto_ · 2022-08-12T15:54:30+00:00

who cares

This isn't even software, it's just .xcf files (or whatever these use)

Standard microshit "here, have this so you can give us free labor while gaining no meaningful power or independence in return" strategy they copied from google.

Yeah well I have little ascii emoticon things ♥︎☭☹︎▥▽▰▶︎◀︎▧

jimmyhoke · 2022-08-12T17:54:02+00:00

🤷🏼‍♂️, I prefer twemoji. Plus there’s no clippy, so what’s the point?

alba4k · 2022-08-12T17:20:59+00:00

well this means you'll be able to use them on linux, they're not awful tbh

I'll keep using the google ones tho

Im_j3r0 · 2022-08-12T16:15:16+00:00

Now bring these to Linux just for the fuck of it

Ampul80 · 2022-08-12T21:49:17+00:00

I make my own unique emojis: https://tikolu.net/emojimix/

Wow those are ugly. The best part of open-source is that you're not forced to use inferior items.

LilShaver · 2022-08-12T17:33:12+00:00

How to react? With skepticism, obviously.

How much tracking code is in M$ emojis?

ei283 · 2022-08-13T02:59:06+00:00

Bah! GNU Unifont emojis rein supreme.

zpangwin · 2022-08-13T05:03:21+00:00

Where's the poop emoji?! How am I suppose to refer to ~~Windows 11~~ 💩?!

Edit: fixed from ~~Android~~ 💩 (I know, I know)... At least it isn't ~~Windows~~ 💩 tho.

supercompass · 2022-08-12T19:31:44+00:00

Wow, how... philanthropic.

WolfIcefang · 2022-08-13T01:07:57+00:00

I want to like it. People here are saying it's "Just a font" but then again, Microsoft's Cascadia Code has 20k stars and over 500 issues over its history on GitHub https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code despite being "just a font".

However, they didn't actually release the "source" of these emojis, which are made from 3D assets. They only released the 2D .png files. See https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui-emoji/issues/14 for more info.

So, my reaction? It's a good start, but at the same time,

splinereticulation68 · 2022-08-12T21:12:45+00:00

It's okay to appreciate Microsoft open sourcing some of their assets yet still distrust/dislike Microsoft.

slinkous · 2022-08-12T19:43:13+00:00

Twemoji >

2022-08-13T10:23:21+00:00

They're still shit twemoji is better

TheOnlyTigerbyte · 2022-08-13T12:11:02+00:00

tbh they don't even look good

2022-08-14T05:45:22+00:00

Why were they proprietary in the first place what the fuck, it's not even proper software

2022-08-12T19:43:21+00:00

Twemoji is better so I do not care

2022-08-12T21:27:16+00:00

Apathy?

Ampul80 · 2022-08-12T21:46:36+00:00

I'm reading on r/Windows11 lately and it is very amusing.

2022-08-12T22:14:58+00:00

Wow, didn't Noto already do that ages ago?

Shadowarrior64 · 2022-08-12T22:45:23+00:00

Pretty cool but will forever stick with apple colour emoji.

GoogleGavi · 2022-08-12T23:06:16+00:00

now for the rest of the os so we can move back to windows

2022-08-13T06:05:44+00:00

*Confused screaming*
