I think many people see it as normal/expected.
Yes, that’s it. People born in the early part of last century (my grandparent’s era) only knew over-the-air TV which in the US included commercials. It was just part of reality, like billboards by the highway.
Lifetime movies are awesome because you can put them on in the background and they’re not at all distracting from the main task you’re working on.
some people still recommend using a VPN and IP address from a country where YouTube ads are prohibited, such as Myanmar, Albania, or Uzbekistan.
Wait, you can just prohibit YouTube ads at a national level? That’s somehow awesome and terrifying at the same time.
Wish they’d had a dance-off with the crazy frog brothers.
It will now require Windows Hello (via facial recognition and/or fingerprint)
So Microsoft also wants my fingerprints and a realtime capture of my face? Yeah that totally addresses my concerns. /S
Yeah, they’re so focused on screwing me over that I’m worried eventually I’ll miss something.
That data they’re collecting is more valuable now that it can be used to train A.I.s. A couple years from now they’ll push some update that lets them exfiltrate it (or its usable features.)
Same. I got a cheap Chromebook and a no-contract flip phone and only use google on that.
This article was a lot of words with very little information.
Microsoft is offering wallpapers, ask Google what it’s offering before you make the decision.
Thank you, that was very interesting, especially the second article. It’ll be worth watching the details of how this plays out over the coming years.
Before that happens, they will just use all that screenshot data to train their AIs.

I just use the NoScript extension on Firefox, though it still takes a couple clicks to whitelist or temp-whitelist a site. Apparently uBlock Origin can do the same in Advanced mode, but I never got around to figuring it out.
That’s very interesting… can you suggest a good article covering this topic?
FWIW if you turn off scripts you can see the whole article.
OpenAI should have given some money to the people who own the movie “Her”. Then they could have claimed they were just mimicking the character.
But I never thought anything like this would happen. That the cloud, search/google, mega platforms and AI would swallow the whole thing up.
I didn’t think so either. The funny thing is, Blade Runner, The Matrix, and the whole cyberpunk genre was warning us…
