Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there’s a good argument the author’s concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

Idk man I’m just upset about my family and jealous of people that don’t have to deal with writing off roughly half the people they care about.
Oh goodness JB… that is awful, people close to you succumbing to the expertly-crafted lies of powerful, malicious goons.
Really sorry to hear that. Neither this country nor our people were educated or prepared for this, broadly speaking.
Our defenses were so low, I had no idea. I knew we were sucking eggs in education and healthcare and all kinds of things, but I didn’t know we would be susceptible to this kind of Heritage Foundation attack in a post-decorum world.
I branched out there but anyway, really sorry to know bad people exploited us and left you unable to live a key part of your life in the way you deserve 🖤
I really can’t tell if you’re being an asshole or not. These are people I grew up around, admiring some of. The uncle I fished with and his son, my cousin, currently beyond reach. I spent every summer with them. It’s heartbreaking. Am I going to cave and let them back in without some kind of ‘come to Jesus’ moment? No, but I am willing to let them admit that they were wrong, successfully lied to, and become welcome members of the family again, because I’m not a monster and neither are they. I don’t think they genuinely believe half of the shit they spout, but do it to fit in. They never had an opinion about immigrants or trans people until it was fed to them. They were just happy hicks doing normal happy hick shit.
Indeed—quoting this as it matches my earlier comment and it’s the best way* I can think of to show something important:
Zero sarcasm in my earlier comment. That’s no “/s”.
*Permission granted to stalk comment history for a sec too :) username was a misnomer this time around but I do like to have fun too
