I mean, exactly how invasive are default operating systems? (Like Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Android, iOS) Do they log your keystrokes, log passwords, capture screen, upload your photos, videos, or audio? (Assuming you aren’t a target of government) Is it even possible for the average person who doesn’t feel comfortable messing with installing operating systems to have any privacy?

    If you dont control your OS, then someone else does…

    We know they will take everything they can and we really [dont] know that well what they do with it.

    I switched from windows 11 after catching them resetting my privacy settings and installing tiktpk and Facebook icons with updates.

    Wtf sort of software is that lol

    Paid a bunch of money for hardware then I get treated like some sort of child by my OS?

    No thank satya microshit… Eat a bag of dicks.

    Got to vote with your feet and wallet, that’s only thing you can do under the current regime.
