Technical issues are irrelevant. If Microsoft is caught acting on this data, then they are in a lot of legal trouble. As far as I know, HIPAA doesn't have exceptions for unintentional data leakage from inept admins.

I can control if I use Linux or not. I can't control my government being ~~bribed~~ lobbied by big tech that shits on consumer rights. I know what can reasonably change. Also the therapist and doctor offices are bad examples, because they have strong legal defenses through HIPAA.

What is that sketchy ass site lol. Did you just link malware? Also it reads like an alien wrote that, none of that made sense. What a weird site.

As much as I wish this were true, this is in a bubble where Windows isn't already preinstalled on everything.

I use Fedora and I don't understand this

I just want to pound my coffee and get to work. I finally gravitated to Fedora because it's clean and just works. Too much setup on my Arch and Gentoo installs with way too much breakage. It's fun to customize and tweak distros like those to an obsessive degree, until you actually need to get work done.

It's really not that bad lol. America is still the richest country. I'm in the best financial and health spot I've ever been in.

For survival. Do you somehow have the choice to simply not have to finance yourself to stay alive? This reeks of privilege, when your worries are about politics rather than staying alive.

snap would be better then installing from manual archives, but it's comparisons are actually to your distro's package manager and flatpak.

the coin put the original meme in its shadow at this point. Also it's not that culturally relevant anymore, whole doge kinda still is.

Cool but the proper solution is that they shouldn't have access to this data at all. It should be either stored locally, or encrypted on their servers. Companies not being able to access their consumer data should be the default.

I thought this was a satire site
