minus-squareaeternum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up29·11 months agoI have hope that the FTC will antitrust those cunts. At least I hope so. I’m not gonna hold my breath though.
minus-squareargv_minus_one@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up24·edit-211 months agoMicrosoft put Netscape and Stac out of business and got away scot-free, so yeah, not holding my breath either.
minus-squarevriska1@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoGood news there huge backlash to this so hopefully its stopped.
minus-squarephilluminaticakelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·11 months agoThere isn’t much backlash at all. You just live in a Lemmy and github echo chamber.
minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-211 months agoIt might still happen. Apple’s equivalent feature already rolled out in Safari.
