    This is kinda funny because I’m getting into Fluent Search (Windows) and (trying to make) Hints (Linux) (work), so the company wouldn’t be able to collect as much data on me if my workplace were to start doing this for any reason (though that’s not the reason I’m trying these programs).

      I wonder how many of those people have a choice. The job market might not afford people with their credentials many options for decent enough pay to sustain a dignified livelihood.

      Some may be callous, some may actively think that what the company is doing is good and right, but I don’t think generalising such sentiments over all employees is fair. The system is fucked; don’t blame the victims.

      (Of course, you’d need a kind of social safety net to catch the employees if you want to dismantle the company. Just destroying the old without preparing the new would be counterproductive.)

        Is your argument that they deserve the pay so it doesn’t matter how they get it? They are selfish, and likely over extend themselves financially for ego and status. Apparently you are saying the only way they can be happy is if they are wealthy? What a morally bankrupt philosophy.

      The working class needs jobs. Capitalists own the means of production; these means require the workers. Are you arguing that some capitalists are good/bad? They all ravage the world and exploit labor as the capitalist system requires.

    “We will monitor all our users and sell their meta data to advertisers, but we draw the line at Meta tracking our mouse clicks!”

    WAAH!

    How’s it feel, motherfuckers!?

    Do Meta employees tell people where they work, or do they hide it the way people hide that they’re MAGA. You know, because who would want to fuck a Meta employee?

      Shrug. Meta employees make bank.

      Dunno how attractive they are viewed as, because everyone there I personally know were already married before they joined Meta.

    OK, so, I hate Meta and offer no sympathy. But, if I were hypothetically in that scenario, I would work very hard to develop a keyboard centric workflow. Sure, they can key log everything, but it’s going to be way more annoying for them to go through tons and tons of TAB strokes.

    I would just buy a mouse jiggler and flood the training data with junk inputs. Leave your computer on over night with the jiggler going.
