XP has no telemetry inside, atleast from what we know from the leaked source code builds, right?
Why not just use XP? A modern NAT does wonders for security, and I still remember when you fags said you wouldn't move to Windows Vista and stay on XP forever.

We have the source code. If XP had backdoors or telemetry inside, it would've been exposed and immediately fixed in forks, right? That's the power of open source, after all. You can just make your server's backend open source and random people will see it and fix it for you rather than exploit it before it's fixed!

>Almost no new software supports it.
We've been doing the same shit for 25+ years. Why the fuck do you need "new " software? What's being done now that wasn't being done before before that's suddenly super important?

in 2025, XP is useless beyond being a cool theme for KDE on Linux/BSD.

You may not know this but you can port software to XP, or even write your own.

You can even use Rust.

You keep using the word spyware, and telemetry but I feel like you have no idea what either is. By FSF definition anything proprietary is spyware, so XP is spyware. By definition of telemetry and crash reporting, windows xp has event viewer and logs just like any new version of windows has it. And windows should be the least of your worries anyway, every single program you use has it's own telemetry that it sends to it's own creator so he can fix bugs and see what features the users prefer. Telemetry does not mean some cia glowey having access to your webcam and looking at you 24/7, it means shit like reporting crash reports saying what click caused what crash due to what likely reason, reporting what features are oppened and clicked on the most, and all this data is anonymous and mixed up so the company doesn't have any liability for it and won't get sued.
