People who think this means windows is spying on them are going to lose their minds when they realize that Teams, another Microsoft product, can record everything you camera sees and your microphone hears and has existed for years.
There's no "think" about it. These companies are putting measures in place to make spying as easy as possible. We get and agree that they're not actively spying on (most) people. But that's the problem: They're not interested in actively spying. They're interested in inactively spying. On being able to store pages and pages and pages of information on the off-chance you do meaningfully step out of line.
Room 641A has been public knowledge for nearly 2 decades. Nearly twenty years. These companies are complicit in spying. There's no "think" about it. It's objective fact. Yet for some reason, there's people out there that believe for no reason at all, despite the decades upon decades of evidence of corporate and state co-operation and effort at mass surveillance of the public, and despite public backlash have faced NO meaningful reform, punishment or reigning in, would somehow and arbitrarily decide to suddenly become "good".
The biggest lie people tell themselves is that the same entities that have experimented on the public and knowingly engaged in outright atrocities would arbitrarily reform themselves for no reason at all. All because confronting the idea of such an entity still engaging in such behaviour is too uncomfortable.
There's no "think" here. People know this shit. It's happening. The only ones that "think" it's not happening are the ones that mock people who know it happens.
you know, i see people reacting so viscerally to this stuff over and over as if each time a little apocalypse happens -
do you plan to win over the world as an anonymous nobody? do you plan to do it without having a single enemy know who you even are? is bill gates going to wake up one day in a prison cell with all his assets seized scratching his head, wondering "how did all my spy tools fail?", and you will triumphantly reply, "i used linux"?
once your enemy wants you dead he will try to find where you live so he can kill you. unless you are blackmailable, it is of literally no consequence that he also knows you play video games or browse .win sites. i don't like it either, but eventually we need to stop being shocked at our enemies fighting us, and stop prioritizing making broken tranny OSs work over actually fighting back. if you use your PC to fight back they don't have the technology to brick it yet, even on the most up to date windows, and i'd rather fight back than trawl old documentation for two hours on how to make desktop icons not show up.
you're supposed to figure out theory of mind around ages 4 to 5... just because you're a lazy idiot who thinks he's saving the world by trying out different linux kernels doesn't mean i'm as idle as you. i've gone around developing games, making music, and leading people away from the jaws of trannies all on windows, and not once has Billy G remotely shut down my computer. i use o&o shut up and crowbar out anything i don't like. i haven't seen an update in years.
of course, compared to your lordship's grand effect whining about things on this forum, all that doesn't matter, right? i'm "just a glowie" because i dare disagree with you and your scaredy-cat ineffective thought processes. nevermind that it doesn't make any fucking sense, it's just a magic word you use against people you don't like, precisely like our enemies utter the word "racist" and kabbalah mind control turns everyone into rabid dogs.
wake the fuck up, dude. look into the mirror, practice some introspection. if your next reply is as retarded as the last there is every chance in the world you are the one paid to disorganize this forum. glowies asking you to meet under bridges last happened 30 years ago - people pretending to be members but only sowing division are very, very real.

Wow, that's some top tier glowing.
The irony of wanting to "fight back" (all from the comfort of your armchair) and then doing literally fucking nothing to even try and secure yourself.
You've got an awful lot of mockery there for not a lot of action. So please Mr Glow, why don't you show us how it's done?
