sigh
with the announcement of windows new AI spyware, I'm fully considering the need to switch to Linux on all my computers.
I'm a streamer but I'll have to find some way to make it all work... somehow.
I already don't trust them to not install fucking bullshit bloatware on my computer with every update, I DEFINITELY can't trust that they'd do the right thing with this.
Not sure what to do. We live in a cyberpunk dystopia without the cool aesthetics. Fucking sucks.
Also no, I am not taking comments in the form of
"oh but it can't be that bad"
"it should be fine"
"it's supposed to be helpful"
No it's a surveillance tool masquerading as "being helpful" so they can more than likely have access to everything you're doing to sell that information to third parties.
NOT TO MENTION IT WILL TAKE PICTURES CONSTANTLY AND SAVE TO YOUR HARD DRIVE, EATING UP SPACE FOR NO GOOD GODDAMN REASON.
I think I saw that three weeks of images it takes is 25GB. Read it again.
Worst timeline.
AI doesn't exist in a true form, it's just a learning construct made to make corporations and techbros money.
BTW this is circulating and I'm hoping the fuckers at Worstosoft don't find it and disable it:
So maybe we might have a way out of it the moment they force install it on our machines
(which again, feels like a goddamn breach of trust and safety but 'imaginary line go up' or some shit)
Casual reminder that huge sweeping *optional* changes like this should be OPT IN, NOT OPT OUT
This is what being a failure as a company looks like (and yes, I know it's common now and I stand by my words)
