@pettter Jadu, jag tror det är svårt att rubba på det, med tanke på hur hårt de har gått in för att det bara är Microsoft som gäller.

Bara den mentala gymnastiken för att vara tokstrikta med GDPR för alla tjänsteleverantörer som inte heter Microsoft är ju imponerande i sig, om än tragisk.

@pettter But then how would they cosplay a SV tech corp?

@pettter they keep trying to get some non-google income. unfortunately most schemes seem to be annoying and not very effective.

@pettter Thus a hope that they'll change their ways somewhat faster than North Korea.

But I can't see other likely outcomes. A direct military intervention to change the government in Russia is iffy at best, and triggers the use of strategic nuclear weapons at worst.

@pettter Pereptual war with a more or less solid armstice like the Korean one seems likely a few years from now, given that Ukraine's borders can be restored.

Then it is "just" a huge drain on keeping an economic and military deterrent from them crossing the border again, until they change their way or the watch falters.
