    …NOT!

    It’s just big tech selling convenience for the trillionth time, this time in another form. They are NOT doing out of good will; they’re doing it to sell your data, to train their ai on it (alongaide their pirated media), and do other nefarious stuff with everything you have.

      …NOT!

      I promise you, as someone overcome with sadness from watching the so-far unsolvable problems of mankind that will lead to the end of the world as we know it - Living a life where one believe simulated intelligence could solve anything at all is a dream. Ignorance is bliss.

      It’s just big tech selling convenience for the trillionth time

      No, once more they’re selling the impression of convenience. I.e. having the entire backend exposed to hackers because it was so convenient to vibe-code access control is not a real convenience.

      They are NOT doing out of good will

      Only idiots argue for such an intention.

      they’re doing it to sell your data, to train their ai on it

      No, they’re doing it to harvest our data. This allows them to use machine learning on the datasets but more traditionally, build profiles on their users. Access to the profiles is what they’re selling, not direct access to log data.

      and do other nefarious stuff with everything you have

      Then they need to step up their game as I’m self-hosting everything on a home-server. But I know what you mean. They want to do downright evil stuff with everything they can get their dirty, sticky paws on.

          The fact you believe that means you fundamentally don’t grasp how truly if dumb the majority of people are…

          That or your in denial that it’s as bad as it is.

          Please hold onto that bliss. Once lost you can’t get it back.
