So do you support media-streaming services being able to modify or deny you content because that's part of the true price?

And there's already huge vulnerabilities. Whoda thunk.

Fascism is definitionally when government and companies team up to screw everyone else.

wine, WINE, or both?

They want everyone using Microsoft accounts so they can turn computer usage into a subscription service, plus with Recall you get perfect telemetry. Panopticon is here and you pay for the pleasure.

Addressed in another comment: close all loopholes, then make using your computer a subscription service. It's a great business decision. It's a horrendous decision in all other respects.

You were downvoted, but once this is fully closed it's obvious they'll remove local account creation entirely within a year.

Why would you say that? How is the current timeline not already shitty enough for you?

Still a no from me. Right now passkeys are just a way for services to exert more control over users. I don't see that changing for decades at minimum.

The Streisand Effect exists and yet every company thinks they're the special snowflake that will get away with it.

If it doesn't make as money as addition tech it will lose.

Well, now it isn't even that we can't be convinced. Companies have decided that they like this way of operating so they are refusing to offer what you propose. They're more than happy to double-dip and lock people into hard-to-cancel subscriptions while continuing to hoover as much data as they can, though.

But even if they did offer what you suggest, the next move would be to keep people poor so they wouldn't want to "waste" money on that option anyway.

It's like nobody actually learned anything from the Honey scandal!

It's always been filled with smug self-important techbro shitlibertarians (edit: with egos more fragile than literal snowflakes). Luckily, what's they've sent around is starting to come back and they reeeeally don't like consequences.
