    @phenomlab well I hope that a better company steps up and puts in a higher bid. If I had the money I would buy TikTok. That platform is a money makers dream. So many people on it now er or was.

    I think MS will just mess it up like they do everything else. Hell, they can’t even get their own software to work correctly, how would they even keep that one up and running.

    @Madchatthew I can’t see it happening either to be honest. It’s one of the most mature programming languages there is, and given the figures, it’s clear to see is not going anywhere anytime soon.

    and BOUM Personally, I don’t hate American companies. I use their products like everyone else, but I think their economic weight is such that they impose their own rules instead of respecting those of the countries where they do business. And here, for once, the DMA is putting the church back in the middle of the village (French Expression).

    @Panda said in Ross Ulbricht pardoned by Trump: So @phenomlab are you arguing that a ‘Double life +40’ sentence is what you would have been in support of, i.e. no release at any stage?? Yes, exactly. Let’s not forget the reason for the sentence in the first place, plus the fact that he created Silk Road with the intent for it to be used for nefarious purposes, and stood to make a lot of money from it. He fully intended to take advantage of the profit being returned at the expense of those people who died, and couldn’t care less about the demise of others as long as he was able to make money.
