A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website...

@ajsadauskas @technology A multimedia platform. Will he eventually look towards ActivityPub as well?

I wonder if competition law has anything to say about companies that do everything

[–] erwan@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can do everything, unless one of those is a monopoly that you leverage for other products

[–] dbilitated@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

ahhh that makes sense. i was remembering microsoft getting broken up/fined and wondered how an "everything company" could possibly avoid that. turns out you have to have a monopoly to start with, which might have been an issue before he tanked twitter. so i guess genius move, 5d chess etc

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What world are you living in? Every single person I know uses Yahoo for email, search, news, lemmy, calling taxis, ordering food, online shopping, streaming tv shows and movies and instant messaging
