>use windows for 27 years>zero effects from lack of privacyLiterally nothing has happened. Did people who use Linux waste their entire lives?
>>109751971Child porn. They use it to watch child porn.
What's autism?How do I know if I have it?
What lack of privacy? All I see is freetards making shit up about once-per-second screenshots, sending of thumbnail caches, and if you ask for any proof of this, you get some link to a years-dead Wordpress blog that regurgitates their argument word-for-word, while providing the exact same amount of proof (zero).
>>109751971>zero effectsYou objectively cannot say that.
I don't use Linux for privacy I use it because Windows is stale and has regressed while Linux is now 'good enough' and made using my computer fun again.
>>109751988It's honestly more than privacy desu, but you wouldn't get it. You're a serf. There are easier low effort ways to mass collect useful (as in $$$) information than your interactions with a shell.
You don't mind your computer phoning home every time you open an application, open your start menu etc? k den.
>>109752074Someone asked me this 12 years ago as well, crazy thinking it was 12 years now. I told them I used Linux not because of privacy, but because of control. I still used botnet services like Google, et al.

I'm a Unix lover, not an OS war fanboy.
>>109752142>i have no proof eitherWhy didn't you just say this? It's shorter and means exactly the same thing to anyone who isn't on .gov welfare.
>>109751971W11 is literally a spybot.
>>109752246Anon, what the fuck are you on about? If you use a free email service (even paid for all could be told), they're literally harvesting your information on your purchasing habits, what sites you use, etc. it doesn't take proof to wonder why your girlfriend/wife starts seeing Facebook ads for esoteric shit you bought, from specific vendors, in their feed. Your OS is just a shell to run networked services with incentives to buy and sell information about (You).Same reason the hardware backdoor schizos are wrong. No one has the time to put in the firmware footprint to live parse, read and inject shit into system memory. It wouldn't serve any purpose. You're already consuming a network service that is a cleaner data stream for them to harvest. Either way, if you want "proof" you just have to look into shit like redshell.dll or read EULAs for a lot of "native" Windows software. If that alone doesn't want you to use flatpak + flatseal + containerization in general + proton prefix manager manager, you're an idiot.
>>109751982ameritrannies are weird, if someone calls you cute and you call him autist, there's something wrong in your head
>>109751971>use windows since vista>aero effects
>>109752155>>109752032I do not care about the mechanics. I care about the effects. How is my life impacted?
>>109752288>more "no proof">random spazzing out about facebook>dir C:\redshell.dll /s /a>FILE NOT FOUNDTake your meds.
>>109752475>AI is getting better every passing minute>Governments are locking us down into a surveillance stateNope no need to care about our data! You're right goy who cares about the future
>>109752494Anon, he's not schizo, he's just stupid.He vomits shit about Facebook because it IS known to be privacy-violating, and wants that shit to splatter onto Windows.He thinks it's some great revelation that jamming a malicious DLL into the system grants you the ability to access everything.The one thing he will never, ever provide is a Wireshark dump proving any of it - because, surprise surprise, it doesn't exist.
>>109751971they have the key to your house, they just haven't stolen anything yetthey know everything about you, you're just waiting to get raped, and you're okay with it
>>109752101>google chrome (+adblocker)this image didnt age well
>>109751971windows is just a shit distro, nothing to do with privacy even
>>109752155>>109752475Bandwidth isn't free. The fact that the operating system and the programs you use are phoning home (if that alone isn't creepy enough on principle, because you cannot analyze WHAT it is sending) is unacceptable enough on it's own.
>>109752790people will say this then never give reasons as to why their schizo linux distro is better other than ummm privacy and microsoft BAD
My phone listening in on me along with my computer creeps me out and gives me constant anxiety every night. I'm imagining some creepy stranger sifting through that data, hackers getting it, learning about my life and habits. It's so stressful. I never consented to this.
>>109752830nah, i don't believe you when you say you have never heard of a single thing that windows is bad at
The only people who care about privacy are pedophiles
>>109752475I don't know. Neither do you. It's possible you've been psyop'd to believe certain things or behave in certain ways and you can't tell. You can't assume you're immune to propaganda, to advertising, to public relations. You must self reflect constantly.
>>109752830More organized. Better tooling. More working drivers out of the box than Windows. No "let's get you set up" fag wizard or forced to join Microsoft's IDP for my computer. No adware nags for shit I don't want. No antivirus that false Pozz's a root CA and has my dad call me up in a sweat that makes him think his computer was hacked.You're just delusional if you think Windows 11 is better than Fedora, Arch or NixOS.
>>109752254This. Hence why I'll stick with 10 FOREVER. No ads, no AI, no spyware. Greatest OS of all time.
>>109752876Cattle or shill bot
>>109751975People use windows to watch child porn? Makes sense looking at the recent case on the airplane..
I don't game and I prefer the CLI. powershell is shit
>>109751971I’m starting to think most women are actually autistic
>>109752960They started keylogging w/ windows 8 and 7 had telemetry.
>>109752876I use vpn to upload piracy.I don't think anyone really cares, but better safe than sorry.It's a small step for some opsec, and the free protonvpn solution is more than good enough for my usecase.
>>109751971I don't give a fuck to privacy, i use linux because my machine is worse than the steam deck, and until recently was running off HDDs.xfce is a godsend.Also i HATE the fact microsoft can just install another OS in your machine without your consent, and you have to pull some linux shit to stop it from doing so.
>>109752475Pay more for worse performance and degraded stability.
