Siri is actual software, isn't it? Well, someone must have fed the software that information and with that idea I can safely assume that Siri is the (unofficial) announcer of said events. Nice try Apple. ;-)

It's mainly a political thing, for instance the city of Munich started a partial switch back from Linux to Windows and when political parties start to enter, you can bet on it that lobbying by Microsoft is involved. A minority of the users, the cityworkers, wanted the switch back to Windows and Microsoft Office. One of the problems the city had was a decentralized IT department, which can cause problems with updating, but still is not a reason to switch back and could be solved with a few cron-scripts (I say that as an avid and fanatic Linux-user, I am far from being a technician).
Another "detail" about mainly using Microsoft products is convenience, read: being scared for new things or just too fucking lazy to switch to something better, safer. I call that the "Facebook effect".
All in all you can say it is the cause of politics and mainly conservative minds that don't know better or don't want to know better. Like with many problems in the world right now, I dare to say.

International tourism, sure, until the next pandemic comes by. And seriously? Giving grants to a company that accumulates more wealth than the GDP's of several countries combined? Even Bezos could pay that from his pocketchange. But then again, my logic is that of someone who sees taxmoney as a means to make a country run/work/function with things like awesome infrastructure, free schools, free healthcare and clean energy.

It's pretty easy to handle a company that does not take responsibility for their misbehaving/bad products/illegal activities: not using/buying their product(s)/service(s).

Yesterday I skipped the newspapers/propaganda BS and listened to this podcast instead. My coffee tasted better, breakfast too, and in spite of the grey cold weather, somehow the sun shined all day long. Thank you. :-)

The sound of this formidable documentary is coming mainly from the left. But... No worries! Go to your extensions page, add the one that says "Audio Channel", refresh the page with the documentary, open the extension and on the right top it says "mono". Check that and there you go! Both ears are now pampered with the wittiness of Mr Crumb.
One of the best art documentaries ever IMHO. :-)
