. . . No. But actually yes. (Or vice versa)

I’ve started making my espresso drinks with more water for that reason. Yes, it tastes more ‘watery’ but I get more water so - win?

Who?

Heh heh

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!

Should never have gotten close to a contract. Whoever greenlit it was either a complete idiot or heavily bribed.

Sez you.

Did y’all see the user was “MurderZionists” and was then calling people Zionists?

It’s a valid ban. Next case.

People who need to scream about murdering others, 4chan is that way. Go there.

Israel is committing war crimes and genocide, but you gotta be this tall to ride, y’know. Everybody’s got one.

It’s the biggest company in the world. (Well, unless GPUs are here to stay).

He’s done pretty good.

Alex Jones has not commented on the Onion’s new plan to take over Infowars.

Heh

Faster!

Sounds cool. And also like an attack vector.

Oh god, i know thats not possible and here come the startups to pitch it.

Paywall, also don’t care so i’ll just take the good vibes and be off. Ta.

Drank the kook-aid.

Yeah i mistyped it, but it’s staying.

Wow. That’s super sad.

Goddamn microsoft. Get it together.

Very good. My TL;DR take:

The American and German approach of letting incumbents build monopolies, allowing wasteful overbuild, and refusing to regulate natural monopolies is often called a ‘free market.’

But it’s not free. And it’s not a market.

True capitalism requires competition. But infrastructure is a natural monopoly. If you treat it like a regular consumer product, you don’t get competition. You get waste, or you get a monopoly.

The Swiss model understands this. They built the infrastructure once, as a shared, neutral asset, and then let the market compete on the services that run over it.

That’s not anti-capitalist. It’s actually better capitalism. It directs competition to where it adds value, not to where it destroys it.

The free market doesn’t mean letting powerful incumbents do whatever they want. It means creating the conditions where genuine competition can thrive.

While I agree in principle, the user must understand that all web searches (in general, not just in this case) are going to be tracked unless explicit steps are taken.

Spotlight searching the web is stupid, though.

If you leave it on by default, yeah.

Go through your settings, people. One-by-one.

Yep

Who?
