To me Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook they all seem by a degree or another totally out of control. They seem to be so careless of any short-long term consequence that I wonder if there is any accountability at all or if it’s just a shitshow of who does perform better and get bonuses

- pndy 2y agoRemember the MS case from the 90s? It didn't bring the supposed split and instead, end-users got an option to "hide" various software. The company kept its dominant position and is abusing it as we speak. Even the browser choice window enforced by the EU didn't change much IMO. Surely, Firefox managed to cut slice of market share but lost it to Chrome which heavily "promoted" their browser. In the end, we're living in a Chromium-dominated reality where even Microsoft uses it. I'd like to believe that we still can found politicians, govt officials eager to work for the public interest and against wealth of the corporations, their monopolies. But it seems almost impossible considering lack of significant and damaging to the monopolies antitrust proceedings in last 20 years. I'd assume there are deals behind public eye where govts turn, well, a blind eye - perhaps getting something valuable in return.
