No there isn’t. Companies are incentivised to extract as much money as possible from any given buyer. There is never a “this is enough money, I won’t charge you more” situation. Inevitably every buyer will become a non-buyer, because they were outpriced.

Competition should solve this issue, but it doesn’t work in media because there’s no two rights holders for star wars content, or marvel content, or whatever. So services cannot compete on the same content, because the rights holders simply won’t let them.

Copyright is a pest.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation!

Thank you

Slightly off-topic, please excuse the question:

I’m new to Fedora (and Linux Desktop in general) and saw the update for 40 yesterday. Is it save to simply hit the update button and let it do the update, or should I take any precautions, or anything afterwards which is expected to reset (settings, applications, etc? idk).

Data and such is savely backed up. That’s not a concern.

Double edged sword, but yeah.

Acquisitions don’t need to pay for themselves. Ideally they do, but sometimes it’s enough if they just help the company’s main business stay in business, or grow.

IBM is making $30bn+ in gross profit each year.

It would be possible to argue about all of them, as each has genuine use cases. Just not to the extend they were praised during the hype.

A close relative of mine is working for a joint venture (between a medium sized European airline and LG) which tries to get into this market. Just had their first plane outfitted with their screens and software, and is now operational (sort of, they almost didn’t get approval).

In all seriousness it could be such a cool and interesting project. But general incompetency, finger pointing, internal power plays, and management neglect make it just as bad as you imagine already.

Social media fatigue is slowly getting traction. I don’t have an article or study at hand to back it up, but I read about it the other day. Especially in younger generations it’s a trend already.

Also, but that’s only my personal theorie, i think it’s a trend only among the less-hateful people. Hateful people nonstop spewing their vile messages everywhere is making “normal” people leave, which then turns off even more “normal” people.

The enraged slowly turning (unmoderated) social media into one big echo chamber.

What’s the questions-to-answers ratio to make it acceptable to write “CEO here” in a topic, in your opinion?

How much and what would he need to post so damage control would have been done (and successfull) in your eyes?

Just asking in case I become a CEO and see someone having a solvable issue with my company’s sercice.

He won’t because that’s exactly how it works. They need a successful delivery to be able to boost their own rating with a fake review.

Someone explained it in more detail I this topic, and there’s also a link to the scam warning PSA.

Yes, that would be a Google killer. If you somehow find the money to provide it for free.

Finding a novel way of searching is one thing. Finding a novel way of financing the whole endeavor (and not going the exact route Google is) is another.

All kinds of IPO don’t live up to their expectations. Facebook went down hard back in the day, for example.

Fair

Spoofing the agent only makes it look like Firefox is being used less, and websites will care even less about it.

Seriously who downvotes a bot.

Nobody’s getting hurt by a small grammar correction. People may even learn from it and be better off.

Factorio, Minecraft, and… Counter Strike. I exclusively play with a full squad of friends and even if we have a bad game, at least I’m spending time with my friends. Keeping contact with your friends is super important and getting harder every year. So it’s quality time.

Only because they produce them the cheapest and in the largest quantities (which goes hand in hand).

Basically any country can produce solar panels and wind turbines. Both technology and resource wise.

The most secure and privacy respecting chat app doesn’t develop and run itself.

CISO and developers in that field earn into the millions, and Signal is competing with the top dogs here (MANGA). There pay is ridiculously modest.
