I notice how you intentionally didn't respond to the other two points, interesting.","comments":[{"id":46373329,"user":"stavros","time":1766561669,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

I responded to all the points. What's unclear?","comments":[{"id":46373436,"user":"tt24","time":1766562813,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

So Ford and Tesla are monopolies?","comments":[{"id":46374068,"user":"stavros","time":1766569160,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

If you buy a physical device from them and they control what you can install on it, yes.","comments":[{"id":46378127,"user":"tt24","time":1766602306,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Hilarious opinion. Of course they’re not, Tesla and Ford don’t have a dominant market share anywhere and have a tremendous amount of competitors. I think it would help you to take a look at what the word monopoly means.","comments":[{"id":46378165,"user":"stavros","time":1766602509,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

How many vendors can you buy software for your Tesla from? How many vendors can you buy software for your Dell from?","comments":[{"id":46379663,"user":"tt24","time":1766613218,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Not "not many". One. That's what a monopoly is.","comments":[{"id":46382439,"user":"tt24","time":1766642074,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

You’re welcome to purchase a car from another vendor. This framing is dishonest","comments":[{"id":46383057,"user":"stavros","time":1766652087,"time_ago":"2 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

You're not understanding my point. I'm not saying Apple has a monopoly on phones, I'm saying they have a monopoly on iPhone apps. It's the App Store that's a monopoly, and the EU agrees with me, hence the DMA.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":8,"url":"item?id=46383057"}],"comments_count":1,"level":7,"url":"item?id=46382439"}],"comments_count":2,"level":6,"url":"item?id=46379713"}],"comments_count":3,"level":5,"url":"item?id=46379663"}],"comments_count":4,"level":4,"url":"item?id=46378165"}],"comments_count":5,"level":3,"url":"item?id=46378127"}],"comments_count":6,"level":2,"url":"item?id=46374068"}],"comments_count":7,"level":1,"url":"item?id=46373436"}],"comments_count":8,"level":0,"url":"item?id=46373329"}],"comments_count":9,"url":"item?id=46373029"}
