I think we need new legislation that prevents companies with a valuation over a certain inflation-adjusted threshold, say $10 billion, from participating in mergers. Then split up the big troublemakers. This way, they can’t just buy each other out until there are only a few left. They have to innovate and compete to keep growing.

At least when I tried with CLion, it wasn't possible to get it to support both Rust and Kotlin simultaneously. You can get both in IntelliJ with the Rust plugin, but it didn't work well when I attempted it. I have to use both Rust and Kotlin in the same project at work every day, so I end up switching between IntelliJ and VSCode constantly. Worse, it's a multi-workspace project, so I even have to use several VSCode windows and switch between them, or rust-analyzer refuses to work. It's so easy to get lost in the sea of identical looking code windows. Not ideal 😔
Given people have died during these buried alive challenges, that will be a resounding no from me. There's also a small chance that something happens to the people that bury you and you die slowly in the dark, never knowing what transpired and why you're still there. Not worth the risk.
This will be a good start if Newsom signs it. I hope next time they take it a step further and just make data brokering illegal. It doesn't seem like it provides any benefit to society.
I appreciate your informative post. I almost down voted it for the statement that Mozilla is big tech, but you do have a valid point that they are on Google's leash. I wish it weren't that way and that they were self-sustaining, but it is what it is. In my mind, they are better than the big tech companies because of their non-profit ownership, but non-profits can be corrupted. I'm still going to continue using Firefox though since the web desperately needs browser competition and it's the only competition in town =)
