Self-respect. I'm not going to tolerate my property being sabotaged against me in service of some other entity, and I don't understand why anybody else would either.

As soon as Windows 10 "telemetry" (read: spyware) started getting backported into Windows 7 almost a decade ago, I was gone.

Windows users in 2025 are nothing but cucks and simps for corporate abuse. They don't "just buy, have, and use a computer;" they are part of the problem.

    To be fair, most people who use Windows are ignorant of any of this stuff so while I guess they are technically part of the problem (debatably), it's not knowingly. With that in mind it seems unwise to tar them all with the same brush and set them up as the enemy if we hope to convince any of them to abandon it.

    Yeah, @grue@lemmy.world, it's really messed up to say, "You're an idiot!" to an idiot's face. These people need help, not punishment. Saying the victims are "part of the problem" is insane. The only targets you should be allowed to judge are those who know about everything (both Microsoft's antics and Linux) and still choose to not move; anyone else is not on the enemy's side or anything near that dramatic, geez.
