Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11
salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 1 day agoYes, that’s exactly what I meant. It’s malware on my computer against my will (or would have been, had I not switched). I’m not comforted that I can supposedly toggle the malware off. I don’t like it on any platform. Your dismissiveness and attempted normalization of corporate spyware is disconcerting.

I'd argue I'm doing the opposite.
I was turning this stuff off when my Google and Samsung phones kept suggesting that they could do searches based on the content of my phone screen or my camera feed. It's only "normalization" in that it's... you know, actually normal and widespread. I don't think people are too alarmed now, I think they weren't alarmed enough when the first wave of "smart assistants" started doing this like a decade ago.
