Windows is Spyware!
Even with spyware removed:

https://www.techspot.com/news/97535-windows-11-spyware-machine-out-users-control.html

Friendly reminder that Windows is still spyware, even collecting data when debloated. Its newest version, Windows 11 being the greatest offender.

But just sticking to Windows 10 won't keep your data safe. Microsoft started embracing data-mining in the late Windows 7 life-cycle.

If you want to use an up-to-date operating system that puts you in control of your machine, Windows certainly isn't a good option.

Blue pill or red pill. Your choice.

Lol.....Welcome to the modern world
Brussel knows that. They know that after every update. You need to check your apps, if they are not on again. Why i won't use windows 11. And am slowly migrating to linux.

No, it's too early to take the black pill.

Take an example in this based and red-pilled individual.
Or go even further and migrate to OpenBSD or Haiku.
ReactOS is also an alternative… will be… in a couple decades?
And then of course there is Temple OS, fit for only the most devout.

Always backup your data!

I call BSD on that one. There are many alternatives.

I'm still on Windows 7. If I ever have a reason to upgrade my AM3 hardware I'll just install Arch, or literally install gentoo and build my whole system with -march=native. Never going to use Windows >=8. Everything about them looks and sounds intolerable.

Years ago I was using avisynth and had some projects in mind (never finished), and a few other programs that only ran on windows. Most of that is no longer relevant. Installing latest visual studio and runtime libraries seems to have also made those very programs no longer function anyway.

Wait for the availability of 3rd party programs to turn all those off. :erune:

The thread is entirely on point. Windows has steadily been getting worse- but there is something that is bothering me:

You seem to be very with it- but the choice of red and blue pills is in some ways distressing.

Now perhaps in Europe(I am still not sure which country you are in exactly) those terms may mean different things.

But on the other hand, you clearly are smarter than you let on.

I am concerned.

Why would something from The Matrix have different context in different parts of the world?

I have never seen The Matrix.

I am referring to it's meaning online.

Now perhaps the two are more connected than I know/knew of- as I haven't actually seen the movie.

IDK...

You're all Windows 10 users? Can you not sue Microsoft?

I remember back in the day, Microsoft got sued over minor things, such as having internet explorer included in Windows (but not other web browsers.)

What happened? Can you not sue Microsoft anymore?

Terms are always getting thrown around now. Words are just about meaningless.

Basically biological, cultural, judicial, and economic degeneration.
