From yesterday's "news" alone:
Summary: Don't expect the Linux Foundation or OSI to speak out against Microsoft's latest crimes [1, 2, 3]; heck, even Ubuntu no longer competes with Windows because Microsoft paid the parent company to become a partner instead of competitor (hence WSL); this is what antitrust laws exist for! But nobody enforces them anymore, except when Microsoft lobbyists ask regulators to focus on other companies, weaponising enforcement to basically protect an abusive monopolist
If someone (or someones) calls you paranoid for taking about "beacon"-like functionality, there will be no lack of authoritative citations (e.g. Web links) they can be provided to prove them wrong
At least some people squeezed out some "free press" out of this charade [...] That the media kept boosting parodies as the alternative/s to the bigot is a topic we wrote about a great deal over the past 3 weeks
They say IBM never recovered from Gerstner, who instead of saving the companies (IBM and others he claims credit for) set up a collision course of rapid shrinkage
