So google has been in a bit of an antitrust.
This isn’t unusual as microsoft had the same.
But part of this is that some want google to ggive up chrome.
I don’t know about chrome but if chrome and chromium systems went away or to others then it could destabelise just about everything else.
Chrome is a major part of a lot of things from edge to several app standards.
If it went then what?
If android similarly went to another what would replace it.
Worse we have apple and android phones.
If android went and google services as a result a lot of phones from my shell to just about every phone would also be effected with the only true os apple.
Apple has a major manopoly as it is.
What is worse though is now trump is in any of this stuff is potentially suspect.
I don’t know who to believe and no one is a saint here but For the moment I vote to keep things as they are.
The world is bad enough without this business going on to put it bluntly.
I mean we have enough going on ms wize we don’t need this.
Anyway what could replace the chromium standard.
Even internet explorer is now a chromium system.
Firefox is probably the only other not completely using the standard though it may actually do so.
I am not sure what is left but thats a major part of the net.
And if we lose chromium and android, that 99.9% of the modern net and accessibility.
Its not like we can all drop back to symbian or just apple in general.
I mean ms had windows but I don’t know how good it was.
And with trump we could lose an entire tech sector, mr musk and him have already split though he could come back, who knows?
But if musk and him are parting ways then the guy has really gone insain.
I doubt I’d think he would make the country great again.
At best things will be mashed to bits and at worst we will have world war 3 sooner or later.
Better yet get ww3 over and done with while we still have a chance of survival.
Its a scarey time for the industry.
