Here's a brand new idea, we take spyware and sell it as a feature - Microsoft 2024

You know what operating system would never do that to you? Your friendly neighborhood penguin. Switch to Linux if you still value your privacy and you consider the world of black mirror to be dystopian rather than utopian

Ah, the bliss of using proprietary software, apple truly cares about your privacy, don't they? Remember kids, there is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer, and if that someone else is a psychological liar, what they say about their computers is most likely fake news.
Want a better solution? Immich is a better way to save your important photos, it's faster than icloud, safer than icloud and has more features than icloud. It's FOSS and YOU own your data, not tim cook, some random hacker off the street or the NSA. DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. DO NOT TRUST ME, VERIFY, because immich like all software that's valuable is FOSS, there is no need to trust it's developers.

Immich is a better alternative to icloud, and like all real software that matters it's FOSS (and recently got a great funding from FUTO, run by one of the few billionaires with morals)

Somebody tried to push backdoored code into xz to target ssh, but the FOSS community doesn't sleep, so nothing happened.
Imagine if this same problem happened on proprietary code 😂 you wouldn't know about it and no one would've caught it
What's the opposite of decimated? Sounds like we need a word for it because #big-tech just got slashed son!
I may not be the biggest EU fan, but when in Rome... Fine Big Tech companies for not opening up
