I'm fine with windows
π£ Folks, they say theyβll take the spyware!
And trusting with closed eyes and giving away control of their computers to that big tech co Having ads And enjoying updates at good moments And having to have an antivirus And paying licenses And having your children learn computing on an environment that they'll get used to so they'll have to buy their own when they get older and cope with all this sh*t
You're implying I'm a boomer who doesn't know about stuff like O&O ShutUp10++ which I use. I also use windscribe, pihole on my home network, extensions like ublock-origin and canvasblocker for Firefox, violent monkey with various scripts to not deal with trackers etc, nextDNS as well. And of course I pirate all sorts of shit using qbittorent tied to only work when my vpn is active. So sure, I'm stupid and don't know anything because I use windows (that I pirated and activated for free).
