A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

...what?
Did you not notice that almost every browser from recent years is based on Chromium?
Did you not notice how Google Search basically eradicated almost every alternative there was (RIP AltaVista…) over the years?
Did you not notice how Android dominates the mobile OS market in most countries?
So, hold up, your solution to monopolies is enforced monopolies?
Funny how you're talking about monopolies when the most probable outcome of Apple opening up their OS will be even more Chromium-based browsers in the mobile world.
So, that's a yes on the enforced monopolies?
IMHO it’s Apple’s product and thus Apple’s rules. It’s not about monopoly, it’s just Apple having control over their own product. You’re still free to NOT buy their product.
You're still free to NOT install other browsers.
So you're entirely against the EU's DMA?
I’m against the whole EU construct. I’d like to see them downgraded to the EEC/EEA again. So, yes, I’m also against those pencil-pushers in little Brussels making stupid (to be fair: sometimes, very rarely, less stupid) laws instead of letting people decide with their money.
Ah, and I would bet a lot of money you don't actually live in the EU, do you?
Born there and lived there until very recently. That's why I'm so against it. 😉
