I have different experience with Vivaldi, been using it for years, and it's amazing.

The proper question is “why not?”.

Someone was motivated and capable enough and there you have it :)

WTH kind of a word sallad is this shit

A bit misleading title of this article, the judge did not rule that the act is unconstitutional, instead they ruled that there are enough serious issues with it to suspend it until those issues can be tried.

IANAL but the injunction seems to be granted mostly because of the OD crisis, which is a worsening public health emergency, i.e. the risks of keeping the act in effect, before it is tried, are too great.

To save you a click, this is about union members voting for general strike in Quebec over wages.

Almost like it is not a for-profit company, and the investors interests are not a priority...

Here's an AI bot's summary:

Cory Doctorow gave a talk about the concept of "ensh*ttification" - how internet platforms start out good, then abuse users to benefit businesses, then abuse businesses to benefit themselves, until they die.

He argues today's big tech firms like Facebook and Google have undergone ensh*ttification, withdrawing value from users and business partners to benefit shareholders.

Doctorow says ensh*ttification happens due to lack of competition, companies' ability to "twiddle the knobs" with no transparency, and laws that criminalize modifying platforms.

He proposes halting consolidation, limiting companies' twiddling abilities, and restoring the right to modify platforms through "adversarial interoperability."

This will help shift control of technology from giant companies to small ones, co-ops, nonprofits and user communities.

Tactics include blocking mergers, mandating open APIs, government procurement rules favoring interoperability, and rolling back laws against modifying platforms.

The goal is a "new good internet" that succeeds the old open internet and avoids the pitfalls of today's walled gardens. Doctorow urges spreading these ideas to seize opportunities in future crises.

Oh, it’s a TLDR of the article, not my opinion.

The grocery stores record profits make it obvious they have more than enough room to absorb a lot of the upstream pressure for price increases. They don’t feel compelled to do so in any way though :/

True, except the rises so far have been much larger than inflation warrants, with the expectation for a correction at some point, which is what the article discusses.
