Preserving competition is essential to foster innovation.
Today we have informed Microsoft of our preliminary view that it has breached EU antitrust rules by tying Teams to its popular productivity applications included in its suites for businesses, Office 365 and Microsoft 365.
Our preliminary findings indicate that the changes made by Microsoft since July 2023 are insufficient to address our concerns and more changes are necessary to restore competition.

there are infinite possibilities to develop new surgeries on new unknown alien anatomies in different astrophysical scenarios. "Resection the yerfenporkle while partially blinded by Van Allan radiation"
Or maybe microsurgery on representations of the software neurons of an AI. Can you make the LLM say "I smell burnt toast?"
A good acquisition, I hope they make the most of it.

very important episode!
as the resident "zealot", let me say, that objectively, #FreeSoftware is a better term than #OpenSource, with the caveat, that this is true for every language that is not as silly as English, and actually have a distinct word for "free of charge", instead of using the same word as for liberty.

These aren’t just annoyances — @ntnsndr 's newest piece discusses the “implicit feudalism” of digital groups and why we need more democratic communities online.

Why the future of democracy could depend on your group chats
Americans associate with each other more online than off these days. How people interact in digital communities could have a big impact on democracy.The Conversation
The problem for us is 'democratic' groups require work and effort of the 'governed'. And nobody has the mental energy or wants to be involved to do that work.
Take a look at your HOA locally and your State gov't (you do know who your state reps are...right?).
Life's hard, and most of us don't bother to be involved in the things that directly affect us. And we get the predictable results.
Now add in 87 online communities and it's a tsunami of mental effort most of us just run from.
(edit: I don't mean this as accusatory towards anyone, just commenting on realities of what is needed and what most of us have in available extra mental capacity to deal)
@pixelpusher220 Agreed! This is a concern that I've grown increasingly interested in since finishing the book.
Here's a brief essay I did on the topic for co-ops, specifically: ownershipmatters.net/article/1…
I'm also currently polishing a more extensive paper on the topic (for online governance generally) with a team at Metagov to give governance designers tools for thinking through questions of attention.
If investor-owners can do it, so can participant-owners.

My first experience with Ilford Delta 400 was on medium format, so I should not be surprised it's a bit grainier than I expected on 35mm.

Haven't used this but did once enjoy B&W D&P with Beutler Tetenal Neofin developers for ultra-fine grain, then printing with a Schneider Componon lens, for the sharpest granularity, highest acutance images. HP4 & 5 I think.
