A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It means the "Justice Department won against Google today" is a bullshit complicit victory that clears google from ever being attacked on monopolistic grounds again by double jeopardy because the justice department is run by incompetent fools
Nothing. I expect a lawsuit at some point that complains that nothing useful is being shared.
Here’s the recipe for ice cubes. There, we shared our data.
Edit hers to here’s.
So could I claim to be a rival and get data shared to me
No, just corporation with the pockets to take them to court,
It's about the giants dividing the pie between them, not with you
You don't get pie, you're diner
Well, tbh, it would be nice for it to stay compact and sink all together. Browser, ads, search engine, all of it.
What would you say is the benefit to the consumer of common ownership here?
Oh, that is a tough question. I think it depends on the consumer - for people like me, who value privacy above other stuff, this is not great news. But there are people in this world that find value in the integrated system Google provide.
Anyway, my comment was more of a joke than a actual opinion on the matter.
