Well, it is an image. Technically

No, not for pointing out

Yeah, I had in mind their office they changed every now and then to break compatibility with FOSS office, afaik this is not the only thing they did like that, but support for running old software usually was decent, true

A bit ironic when Microsoft struggles because someone else keep breaking compatibility. Although I would prefer it to keep trying because that would have been more choice and competition in the mobile OS land

competitor being so unimportant they can't give things away

What?

Besides, I think part of the issue is that you argue with different people as if they were the same people

Good point, I wonder if elasticity of demand will be affected by the AI bubble bursting (I expect there will be a recession and demand will get less elastic, bit I'm no economist)

I still think there is some communication issue, but I re-read your original comment and I am quite lost about what your point was: you say Valve is monopoly BUT it's not evil (from another thread you linked) and you don't propose to dismantle it. So, what should the readers do with the newly acquired knowledge?

If you want to warn, then warn directly, if you want to call to action, do so. If you want people to just think for themselves, you will get nothing except people thinking you fail to make a point and arguing with you because they came up with that result by thinking for themselves

Yeah, I can't answer your question either, because I find it may be either hard or impossible to come up with an answer

They seem to ask how to phrase the same thing in such a way that you can't come and reply that their tone is condescending.

Much passive, very aggression, I find it hard to side with people this snarky :(

The original comment reads more like: they could've used an abstract conflict without specifics allowing to identify it

I would add: maybe that was intentional, also maybe they thought that the US were on the side of good in that case

this is tomato soup in a bread bowl

Well, now I want to try it much more
