The point of antitrust action is exactly this, to destroy noncompetitive business models like chrome and allow true competition to thrive between actors in a free market. Given that you do not seem to understand the core point of antitrust

Youtube can buy those services from google as an independent entity, like everybody else. Not profitable enough? Good. I see a lot of people who don't understand that is not a side effect, but the point of antitrust action, to destroy

They are openly caught in lies continuously and people like you deciding not to hold them accountable because "Oh there's someone worse on twitter, they're the best we have" is part of the downward spiral we are currentl

... you want me to provide a singular source for decades of lying and misinformation? Honestly, eventually the media will cover something you know well very badly or even maliciously (or in my case, dozens of things), and if you aren't

Can we just throw the weirdo who asked the kid creepy questions then called the cops to harass a child in jail instead? Then the cops in after her?

The bar is no higher for free software, just there are a lot of very strange people who enjoy giving a lot of money to get convinced by a company that their privacy and rights are being protected while they are being invaded. Not really sur

I imagine that it's the expression of the knowledge that got removed from the 32 bit version, and some storage space was dedicated to know not to talk about certain things. For example, people know various racial slurs and know not to

Not really sure what you think making up such easily disproved lies does for your case here. The only people who will agree with you on this are people who already agree with some kind of intense dogma.

I think we're long past the point where this is a realistic scenario at least in 99% of situations, what does actually still happen though is coming across articles that fearmonger such for profit whether or not it's true. Those a

Investing with someone poor is a good way to lose your investment. Trickle down economics are not real and investment is not a progressive tax.

Hmm, the user was a lunatic who made violent threats and then was spreading misinformation about their ban, which in turn was getting picked up by lazy journalists. What did he do wrong here?

This is a theoretical benefit which is directly at odds with the benefits of competition in a healthy market. For google, my observation is the "big kahuna" benefit of google basically does not exist and competition needs to be re

Theo is a pretty bad personality, you see it come through the cracks whenever he thinks he has the moral high ground and feels justified to not have to think about what he's saying. For example, when customers in the Stop Killing Games

That's actually a very fair point i haven't considered, i can't say i've changed my opinion to worry more about the citizens than the state but i agree with it part of the way!

Do you have a point you're making beyond there being a long history of racism in humankind? We know. The choice is to end it or continue it. You appear to choose to continue it, though you seem to be afraid of elaborating beyond one se

There is no defense or context whatsoever that justifies racial, gender or sexuality based hatred being directly defended and encouraged in the rules of a community. I also find it interesting, last post you were suggesting people consider

I have seen a large number of otherwise presenting as perfectly normal fediverse instances about normal topics, where if you scroll down in the rules, the last rule is "being racist against whites is not against the rules" or some

This sounds like more of a use case for short range communications, not so much internet connectivity. Tying this tech to the internet makes it less effective as it stops working when you go out of range. And a car's stopping distance

Interesting opinion but there is no dystopian literature i know of that worries about banning mass surveillance. Mass surveillance on the other hand features very prominently.

The idea of free market being "remarkably good at providing" things is completely conditional on the very specific properties of that specific market. Via your logic, monopolies would never exist, nor would anti competitive busine

Well, they certainly shouldn't and this needs to be legislated out of existence, but right now if you're an apple user that is literally what you are agreeing to. Apple's customer base in particular is exceptionally gullible.

The game mechanics implemented on a server binary are an art in themselves, you know. In the future if we allow it, people will roam from old game to old game on private servers to experience each one. This can easily be planned out so that
