Remember when windows implemented a feature that took a screenshot of your PC every 5 seconds or whatever? Now they know exactly whose screenshots those are and basically surveille your PC use as if watching from behind your back? Yeah...we know what they want. They want to effectively disarm our ability to use computers to challenge them. God knows what they're planning to implement after this goes through. It's not just about the laws they're passing, it's about what those laws enable them to do. Sure windows rolled back that feature, but it's still there. They didn't remove the code, they just changed what triggers it and if the PC user knows or not.
I'd have photoshopped an image of Satya Nadella giving head to Donald Trump and made it my desktop..
"Recall" this! Microsoft!
nice
Never thought I'd see the day that a corporation as notoriously incompetent and milquetoast as Microsoft became a defacto Gestapo enforcer.
Calling Microsoft milquetoast when it has some heinous history is quite a thing to read 😄
