Is MSFT Backsliding?
Mi amiga (amigo?) Meadhbh posted this on their page. I checked it on my LinkedIn account via Firefox and Chrome on Ubuntu 22 and sure enough, I can't post images. So maybe the question is... Is MSFT going back to the Walled Garden of the past or is this just LinkedIn not testing their page on MacOS-X or Leenucks?
I've found DotNet on leenucks "less compelling" than DotNet on Windows, but I always chalked that up to MSFT having more resources that understand Windows than *nix. But... I dunno. Anyone else seeing MSFT backsliding?

Constructive criticism - Your post would be a little easier to understand/parse if you would refrain from using “cutesy” talk - leenucks, Amigas etc. that totally hijacked my attention and distracted from the actual question.
Yes. It is their old monopolist vendor lock-in tactics to intentionally make their software and product bad on other platforms and then blaming other platforms for this making a false appearance of their own platforms being better. There is a similar way in them badly supporting open formats (e.g. Open Document Format for office documents). They support them just enough to say that they support them but the support is so buggy and bad that again if you use their software product then you also have to use their own closed formats. So yes, they are backsliding into flowered prison. In fact they always were and nothing has changed. They are just better at propaganda and fooling people that they are not as evil as they truly are.
I will be one of the last to defend MS, but what are you talking about? I'm on Linux Neon, based on Ubuntu 22.04, with Firefox v110 - can use LinkedIn as usual, including picture posting.
