Alright then I’ll do you one better:

Google regularly abuses their market share dominance in browsers in order to push for changes to web standards that benefit them, such as their web integrity api (which would have prevented blocking ads). This is monopolistic behavior, and the largest ad company on the planet shouldn’t get to decide web standards.

As a side note: both firefox and Samsung are paid handsomely (just like apple) to have Google as a default search engine. This also is monopolistic behavior, if you built a better product than them then you couldn’t outspend them to get to the same position.

Google is the default search engine for chrome, and chrome is the single most popular browser at about 95% market share.

That’s cool, I’m glad you are making something you enjoy. The point stands that the average Joe doesn’t actually seek out poetry, be it man or machine-made, and will therefore be an exceptionally poor judge of a poems quality.

I’ll raise you one better: who the fuck wants poetry?

Like I know I sound like a fucking mongrel who can’t appreciate art or whatever, but how many poems do you think the average person reads in their entire life? Maybe 2, for school? Poetry is just not that popular of an art form, so of course people aren’t going to be good at distinguishing good from bad. Compare it to visual arts, where people have seen multiple examples, at least more than 3 times a year for their entire life, of good visual art.

It’s actually pretty scary how quickly culture can devolve when the guy who signs your paycheck decides what the culture is. Most people working at valve could afford to retire if the culture got bad enough.

For a worked out example, see early Google versus modern Google.

Imo we’re extremely lucky gabe isn’t bobby kotick. It seems his son is not an absolute fuck, so that’s good, but we’ll have to see.

This almost reads like an onion article

If you own track mania nations forever on steam, you will be unable to run it on a modern OS. You can install mods to make it work but the game is still for sale and if you’re unaware the mod exists, you’ll never be able to play it again

I mean, you could. The problem becomes “do you have more money and lawyers than McDonald’s” to keep pretending it has nothing to do with it in court.

Revolt is a matrix-compliant client and server combo. It’s easier to deploy than synapse+element but obviously you miss out on some fringe features. There’s also the issue that a lot of the hard parts of setting up a matrix server are due to the video part.

Since OP wants video chat and screen share first and foremost, and since revolt and matrix both use jitsi for this, OP can use straight up jitsi and set up matrix/revolt later.
