Google and Microsoft didn't "kill" the decentralised e-mail of yesteryear. They beat it fair and square

Sure, they might've cornered the market fair and square, but they're certainly doing anticompetitive things in keeping it cornered.

Just try setting up a mail server not connected to any of the big corpos (Google, MS, Cloudflare or their clients with more niche marketing) and see who will actually recieve your mails. You most likely won't land into the Spam folder either.

Microsoft should go macro-shaft themselves.

Was McDonalds ever cheap in the first place?

Yes, but framing is important. Saying "Oh look what our perfect corporate buddies over at Taylor let us do even though it's their call" (a huge lie btw.) vs. saying "We finally got this victory, we can finally do part of what we should've never have been unable to do due to corporate greed, thank you Taylor for getting some sense, it seems like your scrooges still have some semblance of a soul left" is a big difference. As always, the truth is somewhere in between these two extremes. However, I'm inclned to lean towards the latter more than the former on the spectrum.

Yes. Just as entering through an unlocked door isn't trespassing.

Most of the sources also have copyright notices the model gobbles up, effectively making it more like trespassing and taking the no trespassing sign home as a souvenir.

In a few years they'll charge you monthly for the priviledge of using/knowing what it collected on you.

Oh, if Disney Corp could use the mouse pointer or the one on your desk, or even a living breathing mouse, or whatever else mouse or not rest assured - if killing you somehow benefits them they'll do it. They might do it from sheer incompetence too and they'll try to write it off as business as usual. Also, it applies to anyone you know for good measure.

I was wondering, what makes the modem that hard to replace?

I get that the embedded systems in cars are complex works of engineering, but I don't see why there can't be some sort of standardized physical interface akin to OBDII to be used to 'upgrade' the modem.

It's not twitter it's Xitter!

Hint hintYup, same thing, but more shitty. Although, I agree with MAGA Musk that it shouldn't fucking exist.

Not everyone believes an AI bubble is forming

Well, the AI's not wrong. No one believes a bubble is forming, since it's already about to burst!

The first one got confiscated.

He cheaped out on the second.

Now he has to jack up the prices and fire a few workers so he can save up for a proper one in a few years. Third time's the charm!

Think about the economy! The 10 fired gamedevs are gonna find new employment easily while the chef, 4 security guards, captain and 10 crew are much less in demand!

The obvious/s
