PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Gabe Newell was an enthusiastic supporter of OpenAI in 2018, donating $20 million and even acting as the sole member of an 'informal advisory board'English

You aren’t wrong. Only minor quibble is that a reason many of us use android is that it’s been more open. Apple treats its customers like shit, and locking their hardware and software down like android is about to move even further toward, is all part of that overall contempt apple shows for customers. I would guess that if apple didn’t lock their ecosystem so tight, Google may not have planned to make this change. They’ve probably been talking for years about how they can do it if apple gets away with it. They finally decided it was going to be worth pissing off a segment of users. Fucking assholes.

1·3 hours agoI don’t know how much value you there is in me playing along with you trying to trick me into some gotcha which won’t work. Tell ya what, if you admit that China has an authoritarian government that murdered untold citizens at tienanman square and still denies it happened to this day, I’ll humor you. No? Well then I guess we’re done here.

Hardware•Apple is giving up on the Vision Pro after weak sales and high return ratesEnglish
9·3 hours agoI agree with most of what you wrote, but I think it getting discontinued was foreseeable and it not being compatible with anything not-apple was guaranteed. So given those two things it couldn’t have been possibly worth it, from the get go.

There is competition. And the term “monopolize” is used as a way of saying someone took action to stomp out the competition so I would say that 99% of people would assume intent whether or not it’s technically a part of the definition, because 99% of the time a monopoly exists it’s not by accident. But again, importantly, there IS competition.

3·4 hours agoYou have not thought this through. Plenty of accidents are prevented and preventable with a horn.
The term monopoly does not apply here. Not only do we lack any evidence of anti-competitive practices, there literally are competitors, they just suck and they are very unpopular.

1·5 hours agoI rightly point out that you’re a hypocrite and a fraud and all you do is whine about bad faith. Ironic. People die because you are not just unchristian, but anti-christian. And you try to defend your support for murder, uncharitability, and cruelty with the Bible. One must conclude you don’t read the Bible because it’s full, front to back, of the reasons you’d be hellbound. Nazis never change.
