Antitrust is not about whether people have the arbitrary ability to go around it, it's about whether people actually go around it, and if not, is that because one player entrenched themselves in the market that they are able to distort it.

And I am already waiting how the Borderlands adaptation is going to flop so hard that fishes out of the water will be envious of the move. For the same reasons.

It's the best strategy because it takes decades to make a fully functional human, and you need humans to make more humans, plus there is the issue of genetically sustainable population sizes, etc. A fully functional aeroplane can be made much quicker, in a factory that can spit out several of them in a day. They are more expendable.

But you don't understand, as a man you have absolutely no issues in today's society that disproportionately affect your gender! Check your privilege! If a societal shortcoming affect men, it's their own fault, since they made it this way! Negative gender stereotypes only hurt other groups, if it's about men, they are actually helpful and move society forward!

/s if it wasn't obvious.

You must live with very closed-minded people if people make fun of you just because you pronounce a German company's name like the German company does. That said, be happy and pronounce stuff as you like, it's not like it really matters.

That's about as accurate as if I was adamant that the USA was not pronounced yoo-ess-ey, but ooh-sha, like everyone around me said it for as long as I can remember.

Non-anglophone countries exist, and there are actually more of them with more people than anglophone countries, and most of these projects come from non-anglophone countries.

I guess Linux projects tend to come from around the world, instead of US boardrooms and marketing desks.

Linux is Finnish, SUSE is German, so is KDE, Ubuntu is South African, GNOME is Mexican (?).

Yeah, my bad, it's not breaking GDPR, it's breaking the much newer DMA, according to a current EU inquiry.
