That was my first thought, like what the fuck, I don't want my OS creeping on all my shit.

It won't matter, they will serve slop and most people will happily eat it.

A lack of even basic technology literacy hurts everyone so much. Most people have zero clue how their stuff works and zero interest to learn. Its easy to manipulate an ignorant population as we see again and again.

My favorite simple example is "do you shit with the door open? No? OK then privacy does have value--for all involved."
