Tump high-key fucking hates Google. I don’t know that this goes away.

An order to sell Chrome would be accompanied by an order (or consent decree) to not engage in web-engine and/or browser development.

If Mastodon wanted to be preferred, it should have been better. I moved to Mastodon over a year ago when the Twitter sale first happened. It was not great then and it’s gotten slightly worse since. I created a Bluesky account two fats ago and it already offers exactly the experience I missed from Twitter before Elon.

Would it be better if Mastodon was good and the federated FOSS option was superior? Sure, absolutely. But, that scenario isn’t even close to the case we are presented with.

Arch on my desktop and laptop, Debian stable goes on everything else.

Corporate support of development, and I’m not just talking about Redhat and SUSE. Hell, Microsoft is a major contributor to the kernel.

Just in time for a federal ban, whee.

Bullshit, quit providing post hoc justification for your own shitty behavior.

The data doesn’t lie. People under 30 vote at embarrassingly lower rates than every other group.

Average Windows user L

Holy. Shit.

Money was cheap, so most tech firms overhired throughout the 2010s and into the first few years of this decade. Now that rates are higher we are seeing a market correction to the actual required workforce for the industry. I feel bad for the millions of tech workers trained and produced by programs for the last 15-20 years who will need to retrain in a new industry.

Weird, employment is up right near full employment, real wages are up, and quality of life has never been higher by any metric.

Is this just about tech layoffs due to overtraining the workforce and excess supply? Neat.

A small amount of Apple’s annual revenue comes from shipping iPhones with Google as the default search engine on Safari, nothing more.

If you are going to claim that Apple is just as bad on privacy as the world’s largest advertising platform you’d better have some receipts.

There’s less info about it right now, Some has historically tried to run as much of this kind of stuff on device as possible, the little we do know about Apple Intelligence was written to highlight privacy aspects.

Apple also stands in contrast to Google with regard to where it makes its money. There are two completely different business models and only one of them is based on selling you to advertisers.

I don’t know why a Democrat city that is in a major deficit hires such inept construction companies thst have Trump plastered all over their construction equipment.

Well, for starters viewpoint discrimination by a state actor is really fucking illegal..

Newsroom and Editorial Board are different things. Maybe don’t opine when you don’t have a clue what’s being discussed.

I still have my NYT sub, I’ll be switching to games only next year though. The EIC there is a real piece of shit.

He would still be in arrears for this judgement , as the seizures and auctions won’t actually cover all of the award. So, Infowars 2 would just be taken as well.
