That's why big tech renamed them to direct messages (DM).

One reason why you need to use a proper privacy respecting E2EE messaging e.g. Signal.

Sounds more like "Our stuff is just as good/bad as OpenAI's. Don't forget our stuff".

Yet the MS store has plenty of malware too.

Nothing new here. This has been the case forever.

The problem is that reddit and others can instantaneously put your years-long effort behind a paywall. I’m not joking. Look at these:

Those aren’t paywalls.

They are. You pay with you being tracked, profiled, your data etc for advertisement and other uses. That's what these "free" services use to monetise the user.

For Meta it's just another cost of doing business, unfortunately.

Louis Rossmann made a video about this (again): https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/sony-stole-what-you-purchased-again:a

Such ai slop this and the site they link to. Link doesn't even lead to what is promised.

They'll continue to work just fine in Firefox.

From the post description this made it obvious it's an ad for something. Otherwise it sounded like someone actually made reasearch on the subject.

This came out of building a monitor for exactly these repo-setting changes.

The only reasonable option here is to switch to LibreOffice or some other FOSS product.
