A #WindfallTax has to be imposed on such profits during times the companies are raising prices on customers by huge amounts.

Seems to me that many of the most angry people in the world are frustrated and feeling disempowered because they don't understand the difference between anecdote and statistical relevance.

#NextCloud CEO and founder Frank Karlitschek was approached by a #Microsoft lawyer earlier this year to make a deal.

In the meeting, the Microsoft correspondent offered benefits in the form of collaboration and marketing to Nextcloud. For example, they wanted to promote the Nextcloud logo in Microsoft marketing material – if Nextcloud would consider dropping its anti-trust complaint.

Microsoft used to be a company of jerks, liars and cheaters 40 years ago, it remains a company of jerks, liars and cheaters today.

I think the main barrier to implementing a better corporate model is publicly traded corporations are guided by the premis - often incoded in law - that their one duty is to return value in $ to the shareholders. Any other objective a corporation may have is not significant. The big lie beneath this is "if it is profitable, it must be good"
This needs to change. A quadruple bottom line approach does not stand a chance.Rent seeking return on investment leads to distopia

Why Is Media Lamenting Disney’s ‘Loss’ Of Copyright Instead Of Celebrating The Public Domain? - https://www.techdirt.com/2022/07/25/why-is-media-lamenting-disneys-loss-of-copyright-instead-of-celebrating-the-public-domain/ because the playing field it totally tilted...
