Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there's a good argument the author's concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

Very big window between participating in society via capitalism vs working directly for, eg. FAANG or a military defense contractor. It's leaping over every less shitty option to get to the end because that's what pays best. How funny that I considered writing a pre-reply for this exact comic in my original comment.
