Reads like a shakedown by the UK government. Channel 5 may be spun out to satisfy this? Would anyone notice if it even disappeared?

Yup, the lesser of three evils though. I probably won’t buy any of the next gen at this stage though. Can’t see any game on the horizon being worth an upgrade

Mass Effect 5 though…

And yet, I still won’t buy a console without a drive. MS and Sony can fuck off if they think I’ll buy a console from them without a disc drive. I’d much sooner buy from Gabe, who is a DRM whore, but at least has open hardware

Anti-trust when? Clearly collaboration at this stage

Law 1: stop posting at the nazi bar

Our first big lemmy AMA for sure. Must be a few Mastodon ones conducted but anyway, great to see Karim Diané here!

Post world war 2 doctrine has stood for 80 years. I’d say that’s closer to 4 generations. If the sleeping giant that is western europe awakens, then that’s no bad thing for the world

What you are describing is a non Newtonian fluid. Maybe your paste has additives?

Turnip winter yet to happen, and even when it did in the German Empire: the people still didn’t revolt

Not going to happen unfortunately. There have been so many challengers that have failed to usurp. And the bundling and ecosystem with sharepoint is a) exceptionally useful amd b) anticompetitive. It will take a serious legal case to dislodge excel

The counter to this is a web of trust. You break the trust you are out of the web, and nodes connected you too are also out (for a period). And you need two to vouch for you

Companies care about Windows for sure

Exactly, both are under performing. New CEO should be fixing that
