Why not non “western” people and content, too?

And this is why you don’t give microslop anything

Also don’t be fucking insane or evil? I feel like that doesn’t need to be said, but it 100% does, apparently.

Strip out all tracking, anti-competitive anti consumerist features, remove all AI, make it secure and with all of the extra and fancy features opt-in.

Literally just make a decent, respectable operating system, and you will win. This is how you win at literally anything right now. Just make it durable and private and secure and not extremely expensive and make sure it WORKS, and people will suck your dick from across the planet.

NOBODY WANTS AI OR MICROTRANSACTIONS OR TO BE PUSHED AROUND OR CONNED, YET THAT’S ALL ANYBODY IS DOING - THE POSITION OF NOT A PIECE OF SHIT IS LITERALLY UP FOR GRABS, YOU JUST NEED TO REACH OUT AND TAKE IT.

Bahahahahaha… Man. They still don’t get it.

I refuse to lose hope.

It might take a dip, but if people responded very positively, maybe Apple could benefit from taking some risk on morally good things. Imagine if stockholders saw that. Apple stock would explode.

All they would have to do is make a stance:

“We Are Pro Privacy and Anti AI”

And their popularity would skyrocket.

Nothing can go wrong

Ehhhhhhhh, like most Google services and products, it’s okay if you’re the narrow focus user group that its designed around.

I, for one, don’t want my YouTube likes and playlists all the same list as my music likes and playlists.

Google Play music felt cheaper, but was better almost all around. And Spotify, if you ignore them promoting ice and platforming and paying people like joe rogan and none of their musical artists and a bunch of other borderline evil things, actually had the best design and service… I say had, because most of the service they really offer is the algorithm and databases, which a few years ago got really really shitty for some reason. Spotify has always flirted with having and not having incredible algorithms for suggesting music… for whatever reason, 2016 was peak, and it’s had some pretty radical falls since then, to now, where it’s the most intelligence-insultingly bad algo I’ve ever seen, besides YouTube proper.

Annnnnd it’s gone!

Hell Yeah.

Oh absolutely not… yeah no, don’t comply with that by any means, and encourage everybody else not to, too. I’m all for good progress and love tech, but I love it in a "it should serve us way, not the other way around.

Ai generate an adult face, display it on a display, point camera at it, “selfie”, ???, profit

Scratch that. Draw a face. See if that works. I bet you could draw a face well enough to fool the detection software.

Surprised=False

Oh just use ai to do that. I hear it writes great software

Yikes

I hate where society is at right now. I just want to skip ahead to where the social contract makes it standard to prevent this sort of hostile behavior. Or something. I refuse to accept that it’s me, and my age or culture makes me so deeply discordant to current socioeconomic practices.

How long until that magically reenables itself

Microslop, once again proving why that’s their name.
