The entire infrastructure of modern civilization rests on a single digit number of companies. How is this acceptable to anyone? Why is everyone just okay with this?
Don’t forget about that guy in Alabama/Albanania/Malaysia or wherever who is the only maintainer of THAT small npm module which is part of Every major framework used everywhere.
Fish at the catch-and-take fishery are woried about their reliance on the pound.
At this point if "login by google" was disabled we would feel like blinded. This is not a problem, it's an emergency. All public services withdrawing from Microsoft must be a bare minimum.
Personally i've changed to Linux and i'm writing Indie-developers with interesting, upcoming games that i would buy, If they considering a release on GOG too, instead of Steam only.
I am doing my small part to make my life a little less dependent on US technology.
