Please don't use that term; it makes them look bad :p /s

Who was also the last CEO, right? Is this a coincidence?

Maybe also 200 countries included, instead of just the USA?

First 2 I can think of is FreeBSD for BSD and Artix for Linux (Arch without systemd)

I cannot even imagine browsing the internet or using my devices without Consent-O-Matic and NextDNS.

with almost all options and filters enables ofc

AI was mostly based on machine learning, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there were very primitive AI/ML examples even decades ago. Thus, I agree with the parent.

Good point.

OTOH, in that sense, internet (or more specifically, WWW) is technically built in Europe, so can we say WWW is a European product? :D

I wasn't trying to be pedantic. I was just hoping to see if it was a new and novel European social site project or if it was just spinning up an instance of an existing project.

No worries, me too. And I agree with you as well.

www was built in Europe but the Internet itself was built in USA! :D

Not OP, but my experience was most of the malware-like apps on App Store were top ads of apps with names similar to the original ones: such as Whatsapp or Office.

I geniunely wonder if Windows G's start menu also use React and if the start menu, right click or Windows Search still sucks in Windows G or not :)

React Native, halfway between Web and native.

No, he's talking about ReactOS.

Not op, and I generally agree with your assumption but not for Microsoft, as I don't think it's limited to Windows:

Teams, Office (especially online), One Drive, SharePoint, Azure, GitHub, LinkedIn, all became very shitty and partially unusable with increasing number of weird bugs or problems lately.

And it's not just Microsoft. Apple and other are having the same issue. Something fundamental seems to have happened post Covid but before AI.

WFH, flood of Dev hiring, increasingly hostile worker relations, a bunch of web 2.0 folks finally retiring, VC money drying up...

take your pick.

Software is just crappy these days.

> Something fundamental seems to have happened

It just became more visible: testing _is_ expensive and time consuming.

But M$ share price goes up! Investors are smart as they are rich! And they do believe in this all!
