That's why the Mozilla community is demanding that Meta:
- Shut down the Discover feed until real privacy protections are in place.
- Make all AI interactions private by default with no public sharing option unless explicitly enabled through informed consent.
- Provide full transparency about how many users have unknowingly shared private information.
- Create a universal, easy-to-use opt-out system for all Meta platforms that prevents user data from being used for AI training.
- Notify all users whose conversations may have been made public, and allow them to delete their content permanently.

Comment Re:should eliminate the nickel as well (Score 1) 245

The cost of producing a penny (or any other money) is irrelevant. A 100 Dollar Bill doesn't cost 100 dollars to produce, probably only a few cents worth of paper and ink. The only reason small coins are needed, such as the penny and nickel, is because of sales tax, which results in things costing odd amounts.

Please sign up to an online account to sign in to your computer locally. Oh god please do it. We don't know how to not online anymore.

No online account needed. Don't believe the lies. You CAN log in locally. There is plenty of information out there telling you how to do it.

Comment Re:Translation (Score 0, Troll) 167

How is it possible that there are these countries where a large percentage of the population is illiterate and living in poverty - and yet they are able to produce all sorts of highly skilled computer scientists?

The answer is: It isn't possible.

The only "talent" or "skill" that these foreign workers possess is a willingness to work for low wages.

What customers actually want this feature? I'm curious. All I've heard is negative feedback about this thing. Did anyone actually ask for it?

I imagine Microsoft wants this more than anyone else. I imagine it could be used to provide MS with universal telemetry for everything a user does on a system even in third-party apps w/o any MS telemetry built in.

But, how exactly is all this telemetry actually beneficial to Microsoft? I guarantee NOBODY inside Microsoft can explain, in detail, exactly what benefit is gained other than some extremely vague hand-waving and "sell more advertising".

It is literally nothing more than the old meme from years ago:

1. Collect massive amounts of data
2. ?????
3. Profit!!
