One thing though: I’m likely not to stop and consider looking closer at an app if I can’t judge if it’s going to be what I’m looking for. I’m not going to go over random GitHub repositories and create screenshots for their projects. So if the assumption is that the user contributes screenshots I don’t think it will ever change anything for the majority of projects.
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.
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.
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.
Just fyi: That person was trying to make a joke.
I’ve been told that Artemis Fowl in the books is actually a nice and smart person. In the movie he comes across as an arrogant dick for a larger part.
