I feel like a mother that says: “I’m not mad, just disappointed…”
Microsoft these last few months really has shown that Apple is better about privacy than they are (not that they’re amazing). It just doesn’t even compare anymore though. M$ is injecting tracking and advertising into literally everything now and selling to 3rd partied with impunity. It’s absurd.
Let me be clear that Apple is also not your friend. But when we are taking a birds eye view of all computer users, we have to think about the floor. And the floor at Microsoft is ridiculously low right now.
Problem with apple is they only support their computers. For an os you can slap onto anything you should compare windows to linux. However the linux users proportion isn’t that big to give an accurate comparison.
problem with Apple is the only support their computers
I mean, that’s a legitimate complaint, but I’m not really sure how that is germane when critiquing how Microsoft is treating their own products since the whole point is Apple doesn’t do that with their own products to the same degree. That’s my point of comparison here.
Big fan of Linux in general, and I am in the process of trying to convert over to it. I will need to have a Mac in my life for the foreseeable future because I am a professional editor, but beyond that I think I can make the leap to Linux as my daily driver.
Gotta point out, that hasn’t been the Microsoft logo since Win7.

Ya got a problem with crusty old memes, kid?
The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
In my day kids respected their elder memes… They regularly shitposted them and people were grateful for those crusty memes.
Fine then: https://i.imgur.com/2V7ZVlD.png
Perfection
Gotta point out, that meme template has been around before then.
As long as the same text continues relevant…
Sorry, I think the last Windows I had installed anywhere was XP. I was like “which windows logo is that? should I look it up?” but then I was like “nah, fuck it”.
They used to go for the Distort tool. Then, the Skew tool was all the rage. And now, they realized that Photoshop subscriptions are a ripoff and stopped using it altogether.
The meme itself must be a good 15 years old too
No, I just made it myself. It’s brand new and shiny.
There’s a lot of options out there for alternate mail apps, but what I really need is a decent calendar app. Don’t like always having to rely on web browsers for that.
Thunderbird doesn’t fit your needs? I believe the calendar can be used offline
And how much does payroll add to my salary to use this shit at work so it can mine my data without consent? None.
If you’re at work, it’s not really “your” data. It’s “your company’s” data. And your company might be collecting even more data on you than Microsoft.
You don’t think the data from my user session is being collected by Microsoft?
I’m not just putting my company data into it, I’m putting my data into it too.
“We just need to make sure that the data collection of your data collecting app is working on your data collecting OS so we’re gonna need to add some data collection on that.”
Motherfuckers laughing at this meme carrying a smartphone checking their Gmail.
It’s not a binary thing. There’s steps
GrapheneOS+ProtonMail checkmate
Are you me?
Mine is rooted and neutered. Something might leak through, but I’m not making it easy for them.
GrapheneOS is the answer. Apps can be sandboxed away from OS. No Gapps integrated into the OS. Camera disable button if you are really paranoid.
Love the grapheneos representation on lemmy lol
The only thing I hated about that kinda thing is depending on the phone you lose the camera perks. If I install this on my pixel 6 pro, does everything function more or less the same? I don’t want to be taking shit photos after installing a rom
You have to install the google camera app because it does the image processing. And I believe you need GSF to make it work, but thats a one-click install in graphenes own app store
You can install the Google Pixel Camera app if you want the functionality they offer. Grant it access to network upon install, then grant camera, microphone, location, sensors, and access tp all storage or assign a storage space. Should work as you expect oyher than it doesn’t integrate with the GrapheneOS gallery app, and prompts you to install google photos. you can still access photos by opening the Graphene gallery.
Nope. Im laughing at this meme carrying a smartphone checking my selfhosted linux postfix/dovecot email server.
mailbox dot org gang 🤙
I have outlook, gmail, protonmail, Roundcube mail accounts but mostly managed via IMAP. Guess I get to laugh and cry…
I doubt the people you are describing are on Lemmy.
Here I am. Doesn’t mean I’m OK with it either. Not enough time in the day to figure out another solution.
Perfectly valid. And privacy isn’t all-or-nothing, you can still take some other steps to limit data collected from you, like switching your search engine or browser
