    Exactly. All these articles on how tech companies are “turning scammy.” No, they were always scammy, it’s just become unavoidably obvious now.

    I remember around the same time you dropped FB saying to people that their metrics on targeted ads were undoubtedly inflated. They’ve literally always been feeding the world nothing but bullshit.

    EDIT: It’s weird how hard it was to find this image. In a lot of places it shows up as “image not found.” Looks like Zuck has been trying to erase it from the internet.







  • What’s crazy is the cybersecurity teams at big corporations actually hate this because its putting half their security in Microsofts hands. (And their security has been abysmal for a hot minute or more)

    Corporations hate this shit too because they want to be using their internal, domain-controlled users, not Microsoft accounts that pass a ton of trade secrets to Microsoft. Is Microsoft training its AI on your trade secrets? Who knows!

    So Microsoft is literally killing core competencies not just for end-users, but for businesses, too.

    This will convince a lot of businesses the switch to an all Linux internal domain to be worth it, imho.
