@michaelgemar paying a #monopolist whatever it costs is not a #commercial practice; it reflects characteristics of a planned economy where prices are not determined by #competition.

Man, is #catawiki a shitty platform. We really should all fight the online culture of #monopolist "services". Just had a very negative experience and my fair and friendly negative review was deleted because the seller asked catawiki to do so.
Good thing for the future, #flohmarkt exists!

Any honest #socialist must admit to themselves that they are also a #monopolist. After all, if the state owns all the means of production, they are the ultimate #monopoly; the single provider of every good and service.
You may dislike #amazon, but Bezos can't send a man to your house with a gun to make you buy stuff from him. Only the #government can use violence to force you to buy from them.

#Monopolist #Google kommt ungeschoren davon
#Google sei ein #Monopolist, hat ein #US- #Richter im vergangenen Jahr entschieden. Spürbare Konsequenzen folgen daraus jedoch nicht: Eine von vielen erwartete Zerschlagung des #Werbekonzerns bleibt aus.

I'm not mad at #Windows11's TPM2.0 requirement. TPM1.2 isn't secure and TPM2.0 is already 10 years old.
It's putting everything full "#personalization", #tracking & #AI that does it for me. Together with resetting related settings each update and reinstalling removed software (which is only removable because of EU laws). And mandatory accounts. And removing stuff for less good alternatives, if any. And a list of more things like that.
Issues that stem from the #corporate greed of a #monopolist

Wenn einem der größte #Cloud- und Software-#Monopolist der Welt die Hand reicht, um #Europa digital souveräner zu machen, dann sollten spätestens alle Alarmglocken schrillen!
Das neue #Microsoft'sche Milliarden-Commitment für mehr europäische #Digitalsouveranitat ist nicht nur heiße Luft, sondern ein Trojanisches Pferd, indem es uns mit weitestgehend wirkungslosen Maßnahmen suggeriert, wieder die Kontrolle über unsere eigenen Daten zu bekommen. Mein Statement bei heise:

While I'm critical of the poverty industry, this recent comment by Musk is absolutely inhuman and right on-brand!
Snopes Fact Check
Elon Musk Did Say the Word 'Homeless' Is a Lie?
The tech entrepreneur has a history of suspicion towards organizations helping homeless people.
