Can’t say I’ve felt any such issues. Probably comes down to you being on the biggest instance.

So I’m just thinking about how this would work, in a perfectly non-competitive world:

There’d need to be some Browser Standards Association to implement and suggest browsers to add to a list of “certified browsers”, with transparent requirements to be included to ensure low quality or outdated browsers aren’t included. The OS would need to implement that entire list in a randomized format. There’d preferably be some sort of built-in pros/cons list of the browser, I suppose these could be put together by a combination of the BSA and the competing browsers.
But these pros/cons won’t be understandable or significant to 95% of people.

The BSA would also want to ensure there’s diversity not just in browser and companies (like Opera getting 3 fucking entries), but would also want to ensure there’s a variety of browser engines (preferably not just chromium and webkit).

You’ve got something on your lip, right here

You can use this logic to explain away any other ponzi scheme too.

IIRC they backpedalled on that before they released due to the massive backlash

IIRC current twitter blue subscribers see 50% fewer ads than free users.

I can’t imagine there’s many people who even like twitter on the fediverse, much less would like it enough to pay for it.

My mistake, I figured it was easy enough to confuse X as in Twitter with X as in several dozen other tech and tech-adjacent projects.

I hate them because they invented Proprietary Software at a time that all software code was shared between hobbyists and built upon freely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists#Open_letter

Worst case scenario Ben Shepiro offers them a spot on the Daily Wire.

Presumption of innocence is in law. IANAL.

Ya, I think most do. I never use my phone for web browsing though, personally.

Lemmy needs muting filters so we can just mute anything mentioning Elon Musk

According to UNICEF, the EU has 80 million kids under the age of 18, many of whom will be under 13.
Even if we were to say it was somehow a 50:50 split, that leasts 40 million kids who are potentially to be a part of this data set.
Not all of whom use tiktok of course, but in the absence of data either way, let’s assume they all are.
Is the data of 40 million people worth 345 million EUR?

Is the data of 1 person worth (rounded) $9?

They literally do though to steer the conversation to one wherein they’re a sympathetic figure. Never hear of PR?

Don’t be evil

It is, and that’s why antitrust laws are necessary.

Nah it’s a $29 USB-C to Lightning dongle

Completely flat steel’s gonna ding like a bitch and it’ll never come out. You’ll need an entire new sheet to replace it if you want it to look right.

That said, it will never look right since it’s not being built with thermal expansion in mind.
