Do you actually have anything to say? Or did you only want to point out that you think I'm an AI (lmao)?

Yep. My work requires some Windows programs, and I run them on a separate Windows machine I got for cheap. The only policy I have is no personal computing on Windows, and I keep it disconnected from the internet permanently. That OS is creepy af.

I don't put much value on the content on Wikipedia anyway. Most of it is written by only a tiny percentage of accounts, that have so many contributions that they may well be state/corporate actors. It has come up time and again that glowies of all colors edit Wiki pages.

It's slowly extending to tangible things too. Based on the trends, it may end up that you'll no longer own a house, car, bike, tools, clothes, or anything else, but just rent them. Anything you use won't be as a product, but as a service.

I would like products to come back to me as the original designer and manufacturer, and once you get your head around that notion, why would I actually sell you the product if you are primarily interested in the benefit of the product? Maybe I can stay the owner of the product and just sell you the benefit as a service. – Philips Electronics CEO, Frans Van Houten, 2016

You will own nothing, and be happy.

I remember Sony forcing everyone to use their proprietary SonicStage software and proprietary ATRAC3 audio file format with their Mini Disc players. Nothing else would work on their products. Thank goodness big industries don't influence governments worldwide, or we'd be heading into some kind of dystopia DRM-laden in every aspect of our lives. Oh wait...
