As a result of #antitrust action we might see a slower growth of climate-wrecking and loss-making products! Cry me a river.
Uh oh
«For a period of three years, Google will permit third-party Android app stores to access the Google Play Store's catalog of apps so that they may offer the Play Store apps to users. [...] Google will provide developers with a mechanism for opting out of inclusion in catalog access for any particular third-party Android app store.»

"Search giant argues #Microsoft is abusing market power in enterprise software to push customers to use its cloud-computing service" (WSJ).
No doubt about that. #Azure is always a hostage situation.
But «Windows Server "remains the dominant operating system," with 70 percent "plus" market share», really?

Is #Google trying to give ammunition for the Commission to use the #DMA against #WindowsServer specifically?
La Corte di Giustizia dell’Unione Europea ha deciso mercoledì di annullare una multa da 1,5 miliardi di euro inflitta a #Google dalla Commissione Europea, accogliendo il ricorso del gigante tecnologico americano.
Meno male, poverini, come avrebbero fatto? Sono delle vittime incomprese.🤦♂️

What an awesome start of the day: The @EUCommission has won two court cases against #BigTech: #Apple and #Google.
In each case, the court upheld decisions the #Commission had made.
#Ireland now will receive € 13 billion EUR in illegal tax breaks and Google will have to pay its € 2.4 billion #antitrust fine. 🎉🤑
L’importante è che si sappia che più di qualcosa non va

V WaPo:
#Google is an illegal monopoly, federal court rules, in a landmark win by the Justice Department against Big Tech.

I pantaloni del futuro sono qui: MO/GO, l'innovazione di Google X Labs, promette di alleggerirci di 14 kg e aumentare la forza delle gambe del 40%.

I giganti della tecnologia #Google e #Microsoft hanno consumato ciascuno 24 TWh di elettricità nel 2023 , più del consumo energetico di oltre 100 paesi, secondo un nuovo studio, entrambe le società consumano tanta energia quanto l’intero Paese dell’Azerbaigian, con un PIL di 78,7 miliardi di dollari. Allo stesso tempo, le entrate di Google nel 2023 sono state di 307,4 miliardi di dollari e quelle di Microsoft di 211,9 miliardi di dollari.😳
Nel giro di due giorni ho scoperto che:
➡️ #Google ha inserito in #Chrome un' estensione nascosta che le dà accesso alle caratteristiche del PC dell'utente
➡️ La stessa #Google ha annunciato che smetterà di essere carbon neutral a causa dei consumi legati all'AI
➡️ #Apple ha accettato di rimuovere dallo store russo le app VPN, su richiesta delle autorità russe
Complimenti vivissimi alle big tech!
"…#Google bought its competitor #Waze; the company now commands an estimated more than 80 percent of the navigation app market share.

Just transferred to a new handle, so it’s probably time to do a re-introduction.
👋 Hi, I’m Andrew and I’m a huge #Swiftie, a #tech geek, and between you and me, I can be a bit of a weirdo sometimes.
I tend to post about #Microsoft and #Google plus my own tech finds, #ui #design, whatever music, show, or hobby I’m currently hyperfixating on, and random shenanigans from my own life, or anything else I find interesting.
Looking forward to connecting with you all!
Did you know that #XScreenSaver (yes, the collection of screensavers for X11) is available on Android?
And that #Google requires it to have a privacy policy in order to be available in the Play Store?
And that the maintainer chose to crowd-source a privacy policy where every item starts with "Unlike Google"?
It's become a great list of all the privacy violations Google did and still does. And I thought that it's gonna be long, but it's even longer than I imagined.
