          Literally not a mod

          Do I think needing to do this is fucking stupid? Yes

          Do I still put up with Microsoft’s bullshit because Linux is actively worse (as a parallel Linux user)? also fucking yes

      I’ve been asking for several years for anything remotely resembling proof of this.

      Will you be the first person to actually provide it? (I swear to fucking god if you link me to the terms of use…)

          They don’t? Very first thing I turn off is that shit show of a function.

          However, let’s imagine you’re someone who leaves that on even though it objectively sucks…the answer is cookies. Your spyware example is cookies.

            It would be awesome if someone created an OS that didn’t exploit such a resource for financial gain…

      What is the very first thing you do after installing the super private and much sekure Linux? You download Steam and give Valve your data. This is bullshit.

          Yes, that’s my point. You will eventually log into something when using the computer. So while it’s weird that MS made it mandatory to sign into Windows 11, who cares.

          They can also get your data without an account if they wanted.
