    [Google got] into open source software and it seems those survived the experience

    Not really. Google is responsible for the open source browser Chromium, which is the base for Google Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, etc. They dominate the browser market, and they use their position to implement features outside the web standard. Their competitors (mainly Firefox) are not able to implement the non-standard features, driving them out of the market. Classic Embrace-Extend-Extinguish.

    Google got into the Linux space

    Technically, both Android and Chromebok are Linux-based. But Google has done everything possible so that they aren’t part of the “Linux space”, to the point that Android uses a fork of version 3.x of the Linux kernel (regular Linux is now at version 6.x).

    I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

    White to play: chess.com | lichess.org

    My solution:

    Hints: piece >!Rook!<, move: >!Rxb8+!<
    Evaluation: >!White has mate in 19!<
    Best continuation: >!1. Rxb8+ Kd7 2. Rxa8 Kc6 3. Rxa7 Kb6 4. Bd4+ c5 5. Bxc5+ Kxc5 6. Rxe7 g6 7. Re6 Kc4 8. Rxg6 Kc5 9. Rg5+ Kb6 10. a4 Kb7 11. Rb5+ Kc6 12. c4 Kd7 13. a5 Ke6 14. a6 Ke7 15. a7 Kd7 16. a8=Q Ke6 17. Qa6+ Kd7 18. Rb7+ Kc8 19. Qa8#!<
