'Fortnite' developer Epic has pushed back on Google’s control of the Android app store. The courtroom showdown could force the search giant to offer users more apps, at more affordable prices.

      It actually did - Microsoft is an ethical company now, they’ve done a great job with GitHub for example and also more successful than they ever were in the bad old days when they terrorised the industry.

        Super ethical… Just bundling a ton of Spyware in with windows and trying to lock down your hardware into their ecosystem even though it didn’t come from them… 🙄

        Microsoft is an ethical company now

        Apart from the whole ripping off open source code to make their closed source copilot thing?

          Can you elaborate? Don’t want to sound like an apologist, just genuinely curious

            they use github to train copilot, which sometimes reproduces code without paying attention to the license of the code it’s regurgitating.
