Feels like an opportunity for a Linux advertisement: Linux is awesome. Rarely force-feeds you stuff. And while at it, change email providers as well. The big (cloud) services like Microsoft and Google aren't great. Never have been, and AI is just the most recent top of the iceberg.

E-mail is the original fediverse!
The only thing Linux force feeds you is Wayland and SystemD. But there's disros without them.
To be honest, I (personally) am fine with that. I remember the times before SystemD and it just got so much easier managing the services and dependencies and so on. I genuinely prefer running SystemD on my servers and computers at home. And I don't have a strong opinion on my display server, I just use whatever works. But all of that is just my perspective.
unfortunately, there are champions for the widespread adoption of ai amongst the general public--amongst folk who won't gain a red nickel from all the hype and marketing around these half-baked services.
their willingness to stuff more and more ai slop down their gullets means there is greater incentive for techbros to ram ai down everybody's throats.
ah well. thank god for being childfree. i'll be dead long before the shit really hits the fan and none of mine will be around to suffer from it.
Amen on the children comment. I'm with you - my biggest contribution to mankind will be not procreating.
Well, it's better not to be born into such a world at all. It will be a soulless - (bad place name).
Well, drop Microsoft Office and use LibreOffice instead. No AI, and it's free, too.
Well, given that corporations are more powerful than governments, I think it will be a sad situation and there will most likely be no laws.
