We haven’t seen antitrust with teeths for a while now.

Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple should have been broken up in a million little pieces a long time ago, but it won’t happen.

The goal is to lose money to capture the market and once it is done, to recoup their loss and bleed the market dry.

It reeks of shitty boss. I’ve heard the same bullshit from old folks 20 years ago that couldn’t use their computers to save their live.

When everyone’s an asshole, the common factor is you.

I was lucky enough to take 3 months off for both of my kid’s birth, so the connection was there pretty fast, but it really started to feel strong after 18 months for each, when they learn what a danger is and I can lower my guard a bit.

Even if my blood boils every other day, I would kill for them. This is really weird. They can bring the worst out of you and, in an instant, flip it on its head and make you feel almost high.

I can’t get anything cheaper than that because it’s a price I got when the reseller started business and as long as I don’t switch, I get that price.

Good for you that you can get better, but coax still has its place until internet providers up their game, but I won’t hold my breath.

I have never thought of it that way and it makes sense.

I still use coax because I buy internet from a reseller third party and this is what they have. I have 400/50 for 35$, which is a lot cheaper yhan the competitors. No reason for me to change.

I am a 4K PC little bitch, but playing games on my 1080p TV reminded me that it isn’t all that important. Fun > Smoothness > Graphics.

I think that xbox controller are the best controllers for PC, so I don’t need all the advanced features, but otherwise, you are right.

Their market is now clearly gamepass + Windows. Microsoft is banking on their market share to sell gamepass and capture the market.

My uneducated kernel take. Flexibility is acceptable and desirable in small projects or low impact projects.

When the majority of the internet and a good chunk of PC are dependent on your project, predictability and stability is much more important than flexibility.

Everything Trump does strengthen his position with his base.

He could probably eat dog poo on live television and his base would cheer him for a dumb reason.

Investing in workers cuts into profit for the next quarter

I bet my hand to the fire that Bill Gates didn’t eat avocado toast and made coffee at home and that’s why he is a billionaire today.

And it is still true today. Windows has the lion share of the market because we were raised with Windows and the vast majority of people don’t want to learn a new OS.

Depends on what you call silencing. To me, it looks like the tolerance paradox.

We can’t be tolerant of intolerant people (fascists fall in that category).

A big corpo comes in and offer you a life changing amount of money. Very few people can say no to that, myself included.

Socialism is the means of production owned by the state or the workers.

Communism is a subset of socialism, where you have a classless society. Different communist doctrines have a different view on how to achieve that.

Edit : clicked on the wrong reply button. Oh well

Capitalism created this expectation. That’s how corpos operate. Capture the market then bleed it.

The IT paradox :

-“Why am I paying for IT? everything runs fine”

-“Why am I paying for IT? nothing works”

Yeah but these pesky workers cut into profits because you have to pay them.
