You forgot the step where the os/app again asks if you want to subscribe to premium and you again tell it to remind you later, because never ask me again isn't an option anymore.

As Louis Rossmann said, the developers have a rapist mentality. They don't understand consent and believe they have a god-given right to your data.
It’s not the developers, it’s the assholes in charge that have an MBA (masters of business administration). Modern MBAs literally teach that it’s not their money it’s your money and they’re just an obstacle to it, and they apply that mentality to literally everything.
Honestly, at first I thought the expression was perhaps a bit too harsh. Then the Epstein files came out and I now completely agree with the comparison
Theres literally no option to say no, and if you say yes once you can never take it back.
I understand the stakes are significantly lower and that rapists arent under the same vampire-entering-your-house rules, but its actually a very accurate and eye-opening analogy
Often "no" doesn't really mean anything anyway and they proceed with their thing.

Does Apple understand consent?
- Yes.
- Ask me again later.
I’ll sooner straight iron the wrinkles out of my balls than to pay for YouTube premium
Turn on my computer, boots super fast. Log in, I'm ready to compute in under a second. No AI in my face.
Thank you Linux.
Linus could do something funny and embed a copy of bonzi buddy with a tux skin in the kernel.
Then maintainers would not add that to their distro or you could easily recompile your kernel without it.

Only for them to mysteriously change back after
Well yea, you turned off the toggle in settings -> advanced features where as this new setting is a dropdown in user profile -> personalisation its a 100% different setting with no relation to the old one.
Wow, these Linux users just make up problems instead of simply asking AI for the latest solution every time.
My Computer
But is it really?
Called the vet clinic with an emergency the other day. Instead of a human there was an AI calling itself "Emma" on the phone. It asked me about the symptoms so I was listing them. It replied "Is your cat puking too or only october?"
FUCK OUT OF MY FACE
Good news, I’m using AI to make an AI driven piece of software to turn off all the AI for you!!!
Click link to website

This isn't funny. This is sad AF. It's 1984 irl.
Embrace the penguin. Finally say goodbye to updates that make your computer worse.
Yeah it's great we have that alternative, but it's sad AF it's pushed down our throats while no one is asking for it. Whether we have an alternative or not, it's just fucking disgusting something that was great and built for the users now changed to fuck the users for corporate gain. This goes for games, movies and series, cars, all sorts of machines like fridges and washing machines, software, almost the entire internet, basically most things you own, or used to own but now are cloud based and now prescription based. It's a total dystopia where corporations take control exponentially and start to push people into slavery. Nice to have Linux but how long until Google forces DRM's on websites so you're only able to use chrome to open sites on their servers. And what about PC hardware that's starting to implement AI into it. And that's just an example. How many options we have for browsing, I mean, we have Firefox right? But they are turning more evil too now. The evil corps are closing the gaps on independancy, privacy, diversity and ownership.
We just don't have enough penguins...

Save yourself from that first bit by using GNU/Linux.
Wait? You are able to disable the AI feature without dismissing the tutorial first?!?
Switch to Linux and you won't deal with any of that.
Okay then you convince my multi billion dollar international company to switch. No? Then let us have our jokes ffs
It's happening slowly. Many EU governments are switching or thinking about it

Yep. I won't touch your shitty diamond butthole ai logos. I puke the second I see it. Disable it all. When I can't disable it it goes in the trash.
If you wait until you accidentally use the AI feature before turning it back off, they get to report a higher percentage of user engagement.
"Chat, what's the easiest way to remove your presence from my experience?"
Ive successfuly eliminated AI/chat bots completely out of my personal life. It was far far too much work. Well not that much, but if someone is tech illiterate its gonna be hard. Which unfortuntely is large swaths of the population.
Got a new email address with a provider that doesnt use AI, and also got the thunderbird client. Also changing the default search engine to no ai duckduckgo. Finally, going to linux so I dont have microsoft banging on about copilot. Well tbh i didnt go because of AI, its just that I liked the look of it and had heard that windows 11 was terrible.
The people actually making use of all of these special AI features must be so very efficient at doing nothing in particular
Linux
Damn. Corporate hit squad got him mid sentence.
a software
\facepalm
I just ate the computer so now the AI bothers me less, despite the indigestion. The heavy metal poisoning is going to be hell though...
Just ask an ai agent to turn them all off
