I mean, this is no big surprise for anyone that has had to deal with this shit on a daily basis. I'm sure we've all been forced to use Teams at some point, so just extrapolate that out to their entire tech stack.

I literally am perfectly okay with this. Now, if they were taking photos off your device without permission, then there should be pitchforks. But photos you voluntarily sent to them? It's all good.

You need that on the studio side because you're manipulating the sound through all those shitty plugins. But if you think you can hear the sound difference, I have a $175,000 ethernet cable to sell you.

But hey, it's all worth it for the optimal personalized mattress sales and increase in shareholder value.

Make it look like Netscape 4 but with a modern HTML rendering engine. Bring back scrollbars, the status bar, menus, buttons, and the throbber.

Heh.

I mean... Sweeney won. He got what he wanted. This is like the music rags manufacturing drama between musicians when in reality they're hanging out at each others barbecues when they're not on the road.
