Look, we all knew it was coming, but now it’s official. Microsoft just handed middle managers the ultimate weapon. Their new update for Microsoft 365 allows companies to track exactly where you are, and the days of pretending to be at your desk are over.

    This is what many of us warned against already 20 years ago. It’s one of the inherent dangers of ALL proprietary software.
    Back then most people didn’t believe or understand it, now that such dangers are out in the open, nothing continues to happen about it.
    Everybody knows today, but (almost) nobody gives a shit.

        Back then the reality was more “the government wish they had the power to listen to everything” and now that they have the power, no one believes it because it was previously ridiculous to think they were already doing it.

        The conspiracy was just ahead of its time.
