I wasn't presuming that, merely explaining where my opinion is founded. I don't think the normalisation of mis-using that word for metaphorical purposes is a good thing, there isn't really much more to it than that.

Honestly, as a survivor of sexual assault, we find this comment to be really awful.

Can you explain why you believe the word "rape" needs to be said in this context?

Then don't you think it's a shame that someone who is so outspoken against those practices is alienating a chunk of his audience?

The alternative being to lick Google's boots?

No? Society presumes heterosexuality?

and then not restart?

I had Teams restart, twice, during an incredibly important meeting with the government, because it updated itself without my consent.

Yes, that's kind of the point. They wanted to steal every artist that uses their software's work, and then use it (or sell it) to train AI to put those artists out of work.

It feels like the epitome of "short term profits at the cost of long term gain". No one's going to be using your software if you put them out of work. But I guess when you're a monopoly the only direction to go is down.

Up until this thread, I had tried several times to find out how to disable it. That setting name is obviously obfuscating itself.

I fail to see the distinction. If I want to just play a game, it's still getting in my way.

I think it says more about the echo chamber in this thread that no one can conceptualise why anyone (that's a tinkerer) would want to limit tinkering on one thing, so they can enjoy tinkering on another.

Edit: Like, that was the case for me, but now they shit the bed so I've got to tinker with it to keep the features I prefer.

Isn't that one of Musk's flamethrowers?
