This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

If they only used it for that people wouldn’t have a problem with it. The problem is due to their shit business practices no one trusts them (or should trust them). They’ve proved they don’t have their users best interests at heart.

This is true for any for-profit business. They exist strictly to make profit for the shareholders. In fact, the executives can be held legally responsible should they not act in the best interests of the shareholders. By their very nature, no for-profit organizations will EVER have the users best interests at heart.

Not true for “any for-profit business”, but true for “any publicly-traded company”.

Private corporations are beholden only to the laws of the land.

That’s why all enshittification usually starts because of publicy-traded companies, or companies trying to go there. We’re mostly here because Reddit wanted to go public.
