This might hurt a little, but I don’t think most people today know who Prince is. I just know that he was a musician. That sentence is also a commonly used sentence in such scenarios, unrelated to one person.

Super easy. Especially since this is all under their control. So they could simply write those messages elsewhere if they wanted to. I’m not saying they do, but it’s technically possible and a walk in the park.

I would generally trust such a company to do it right. But that doesn’t save you when law enforcement and such get involved.

Yes you should. Because it’s not e2e encrypted then.

It’s also about the people though. Been living in the south for some time. Hard to talk to people, even harder to make friends, very rural for the most part. I even would describe a city like Stuttgart as rural. At work people approached me and said „hey you also aren’t from the south right? I noticed“ and were happy to have someone to chitchat with.

Just my own experience... I’m very happy to have made the decision to move away again.

Maybe it’s easy if one isn’t a German since there are kind of expat communities? I don’t know.

While it wasn’t entirely automatic they’ve showed ads for it in Instagram that easily fooled you into assuming, that the only way you can continue using Instagram was by creating a Threads Account.

Natürlich verlangen wir alle jeden zu tolerieren. Wo können wir denn hin wenn das nicht so wäre? Das gilt halt nur nicht für Faschisten.

I wasn't talking about that and I'm unsure why you are making this about privacy. The topic was about market share and seizing control of certain markets. Microsoft is a really big player in that game and Google ist irrelevant in comparison.

This isn't about just web browsers. Yes. Google is a step ahead in that field. And ten steps behind in most others.

What I was trying to convey to you is: Don't downplay Microsoft just because Google is currently a relevant topic in one corner of it.

Yes. That's important to. No that doesn't mean they are playing in the same league.

No they didn't? My company just recently introduced it.

2.2 billion euros in a decade. Doesn't feel like too much.

How is Google more dangerous. I think you might have a wrong impression based on the current flood of news articles, because the web drm thingy is the current hot topic. Don't get me wrong. There should be a spot light on it. But Microsoft is still playing a whole different ball game overall.

I just read about it in the news since I no longer use Teams. But having used it in the past and then have switched to a Slack+Zoom combination. My god. It's just on another level. Having two products that each focus on one thing and try to make it great kinda works.

Anecdotally Slack has it's fair share of issues once in a while. Zoom barely ever.

I'm unsure of many people know that StackOverflow also had enterprise offerings. Our company has their own StackOverflow instance with very specific content to our tech stacks.
