Is the orangutan okay?

Right.... The reason peppers cost 75 ¢ is those horrible, horrible, no-good, greedy farmers. All they did was use dirt and water! Sooooo expensive.

Winrar is... Not open source. Where did you get that from?

Spez is going full Musk. It's actually insane. Like... Holy shit.

I'm praying for Reddit's downfall here, because if companies are able to get away with this shit the internet is going to get oh so much worse in the near future.

Are there really people who think that there aren't people who think that there really are people that think there aren't people that think incognito does something more than clear your session history and cookies?

I'd disagree here. To me it seems like YouTube isn't a monopoly because Google is being monopolistic with it (if you do have any examples of this, please show me) but rather because of the ridiculous scale and expense of such a project. The infrastructure to support something like YouTube at the scale of YouTube is insane, and I doubt many organisations or companies have the ability to even dream of it, not to mention the extreme network effect with something like YouTube. Google doesn't have to be monopolistic (I'm sure they would be if there were viable competitors, sure, not saying that Google's a saint) because it's almost impossible to compete just in sheer complexity and cost.

It's kind of like how the entire semiconductor industry is dependent on lithography machines from one company: ASML. But that's not because they're being anti-competetive, it's because their products are insanely, extremely complex, precise and advanced. Decades upon decades and billions and billions of RnD.

Stop it! The only words that matter are those that can be written in ASCII! The rest of the world just wants to scare you with gibberish letters!

The amount of times I've seen people misunderstanding this...

When you blast something with a high powered laser it behaves differently, who knew?
