I’d argue that everything big tech produced in this last decade with all that expensive workforce is somewhat unnecessary. If I have a 2026 Linux computer with the capabilities of a 2016s win/mac, I am totally fine and I can do everything I want to do with it.

Where is OP telling a conspiracy?

Who hurt you? I mean… all of your points are totally valid, and you seem to have profound IT knowledge. Great! But OP just wants to have his built evaluated, probably bc he wants to further improve… and you’re non-chalantly bombing him with strong words and more negativity than all of my toxic exes combined. Jeez xD

Did he say that? :o

This is creepy as hell. I liked the Renault 5 - until now. Fuck this shit. I wont pay a small fortune, just to enslave myself to a 1984-style digital panopticon. I am getting angry just by reading your story. Corporate greed is once again crossing the line, slowly shifting the overtone window. Everyone who is not concerned about this, is simply ignorant and/or borderline stupid.

If it was my car, I’d probably cover it. And if it then starts beeping, I’d maybe even locate the speaker and deactivate that one, too.

I wonder if it is even legal to sell you something like this without informing you prior to your purchase.

My GF uses Flo. Can you elaborate why it is spyware? Who is spying? What data are being collected?

Edit: nvm, I was too stupid to see the hidden drop down text

The demand for greater security always poses a threat to personal freedom. It is therefore only natural that those who wish to curtail this freedom in order to gain control over society do so by stoking fear and uncertainty regarding terrorism, migration, Islam, and so on.

Off topic: After 9/11, investigators recovered 19 personal IDs from the ruins, all belonging to Arab individuals. All these IDs “somehow” survived the impact, the fires intense enough to weaken the steel beams, the collapse itself, and the chaos that followed at ground zero. The tragedy was then used to generate the level of public fear necessary to justify greatly expanding state control. It’s a fight against their own people.

Can’t say anything about the browser, but honestly that name is ridiculous. You literally just need to drop a letter and you are left with Spermium.

At least these kids are safe now and noone will experience any trade off from this policy /s

Yes—and the fact that people now cite a punctuation mark as forensic evidence says a lot about the level of the discourse.

Fully agreed ✨

This is a very important and, frankly, very healthy development.

Why this matters:

• Boundaries are good ✅ Not every space, workflow, or community needs AI integration.

• Discernment is good 🧠 Saying “no” to a tool is not irrational. It is often a sign of standards, judgment, and maturity.

• Human value still matters 👥 Efficiency is not the same thing as meaning, quality, trust, or legitimacy.

In short:

I think this kind of pushback is not anti-technology. It is pro-boundary, pro-quality, and pro-human agency. Very good to see this being articulated so clearly. 👏🤖📌
