How do you know this? They haven't even started implementing this?

I mean if they do, I agree, but could we not defer the judgements until we know?

If their implementation is open source, you do not have to. You can trust security experts inspecting the code.
If this is well done with proper end-to-end encryption and properl multi-hop routing, I do not see why you should not be able to trust the implementation.

This actually looks like a pretty good idea for a change.

sadly, was to be expected from a company which forces hundreds of millions of users to throw away and replace perfectly functional hardware.
That company is a malign cancer.

Next time I "upgrade" i will also get rid of Ubuntu on all my machines (6 of them).
Have not decided which one yet, but I think I have had it with Ubuntu.

that terrible package manager is still broken, struggles with home directories not on the root file system and sucks in many other ways.
Same with wayland: "modern" tech that is unable to do lots of things that are possible with X (related to remote desktops, running windows remotely etc).

The next update of my Ubuntu machines will actually a replacement with some other distro that does not shove all that enshittified limited or broken stuff down their users.

just don't use Microsoft Crap

Completely unnecessary data collection.
Fuck Microsoft.
There are now decent games under Linux as well and there is nothing else I ever needed that crap OS for.

Literally everything Google has ever done has seen massive enshitification.
A tax-avoiding, money sucking, hyper-bureaucratic global monster.

to even get a simple key remapping feature right.
To imagine that globally hospitals to nuclear plants und banks all rely on their software is chilling.

love it. Consumers are now so dumb you can get them to "subscribe" for any shit and any enshittification.

Any other form of public transport is more efficient, less costly and, a lot less stupid. The worst subway line still has a better driver to passenger ratio, better number of needed vehicles and thus needed motors and batteries to passenger ratio, better energy needed per passenger ratio.
So - why is this even happening? Why is utter stupidity so in in the US right now?

a completely new level of uselessness.
Seriously, a speaker-camera combo where you can make the camera wiggle - what does this have to do with a robot, at all?

That is kind of cute.

I wonder how many of those signing those petitions vote for politicians who follow the church of unregulated capitalism.

Alternately you could vote for politicians who will regulate the market in way that would, for example, force companies to pay back money if they shut down what your paid for prematurely. Or take away other rights of use from licensed products. capitalism *could* get regulated any way we want, one just has to do it. But if you think the invisible hand of the market will know best, dont embarrass yourself by signing petitions against what the invisible hand just decided for you.

Or is this a trolling attempt?

Unbelievable

It is obvious how the actions of this administration will harm the US both short- and longterm. Only Magidiots will love them, because they, like their idol Trump are blinded by malice. Frustrated losers who find satisfaction in destruction, no matter how much it will ultimately affect themselves.
The rest of the world might think: well why should we care about the US damaging itself? But unfortunately history has shown us that this is something extremely dangerous: once the damage will get felt by the masses, especially the Magidiots, they will not at all come to their senses as one might think. They will just get even more extreme, even easier for demagogues to manipulate into thinking that some group or nation is responsible for their misery, even easier to gather behind some autocratic psychopath and become violent and lusting for war.
We have seen that multiple times in history. I am not sure if it is not too late for the US to turn around.
