funny that windows 11 is the breaking point for everyone, as if windows 10 didn't ship with added telemetry, cortana and ads in the start menu.

@RustyCrab @yomiel you can turn all that off in win 11 and most of the broken stuff people keep talking about have been in beta insider builds that are fixed before they make it to release. It's really funny to me that people are more willing to trudge through the trenches in Linux than just doing some simple tweaks in win 11 lol.
You can never stop it from phoning home unless you use a firewall and block each outbound connection. It ended up being a full time job for me
@verita84 @RustyCrab @yomiel I mean what's even getting sent at that point, my hardware configuration? Idgaf about that lol I send that shit to valve for free. You can turn off everything that's meaningful. If you have such a strict threat model that you need to start doing firewall blocks I don't really consider people like that a part of the conversation when it comes to which OS to use for general users, professional users, or gamers.
You don’t mind your operating system spying on you and constant ly phoning home to Microsoft?
@verita84 @RustyCrab @yomiel realistically it all gets smashed into a database that AI combs over and says what percentage of people are using what hardware and shit for analytic purposes, no I don't care about that.
