So if you've installed Windows 11 recently, you're familiar with the very lengthy setup process where you can uncheck a lot of toggles to try and limit what the OS collects.
What the OS will collect is the following:
- Microsoft Store Logs
- Network data
- Hardware information
- Accessory data
- Application-related data
- Event metrics
You'll also send complete words that you typed or wrote, not just statistics. You'll also send speech recognition data, and activity history, so every document you opened, website you visited...
But that's just what Microsoft tells you about. Recently, a youtuber called "The PC Security channel" analysed a completely fresh Windows install, using Wireshark, and what they found was is that Windows makes a few connections to third parties it never really told you about.
THEIR VIDEO:
So what exactly can Microsoft do with all this data?
Well, they have more than enough to completely fingerprint your device, they can reliably tell what you use in terms of apps, and what type of content you watch, and they also basically can have a keylogger on your computer. And finally, Windows sends some data to third parties.
Fortunately, you can disable all the option stuff straight from the settings.You can go to the privacy and security options, and go into each category and disable everything there.
You can also completely disable the telemetry service. Just hit Windows + R, and in the run dialog, type services.msc. In there, look for something called "Connected user experiences and telemetry", double click that, and in the "General tab", you can set "startup type" to "disabled".
Apple talks a big game when it comes to privacy, but in the end, is it really true?
Out of the box, macOS sends to Apple your IP address, location, and some usage patterns, like all the apps you run, and when you run them. Other telemetry data, out of the box, includes browsing history, search history, crash data, performance and diagnostic data, location information, health information if you use that on an iPhone for example, all the info you entered in your AppleID, the device serial number, payment information, everything you bought using that Apple ID, and potentially your government ID.
Fortunately, macOS lets you disable virtually everything that's being collected. You can just head over to the Security and Privacy settings, and in analytics and improvements, uncheck everything.
Now, how about Linux? Well, Linux based operating systems, or at least desktop Linux distributions don't collect any data out of the box, with a few exceptions.
The first one is Ubuntu, who will collect telemetry data out of the box, with no personal information at all. It's just hardware data, but it could still be used to fingerprint your device. Canonical doesn't currently have any ad server that I know about, so they probably only really use this to know what their users actually use and focus their efforts on that, but if you're uncomfortable with that, you can disable it at install.
Some Ubuntu derivatives that use the same installer might also have that kind of telemetry. On top of that, you have the ability to turn some entirely optional telemetry on in KDE's settings; and GNOME also has a telemetry tool that you have to install manually.

I live in Chicago and this city feels so full of energy in the summer. There are constant festivals, events, people are hosting cookouts, everyone's outside. It feels like a constant party. You pay for it in the winter though.
I lived most of my life in South Carolina. Last year, I made the mistake of visiting SC in the summer. I had to say no to so many plans in Chicago and leave beautiful weather to visit the hottest, muggiest, no-wind-est place on earth. In Columbia, SC the pride festival is held in October because if it was held in June, people would just die. I told my friends and family that they visit me during the summer and I'll be around for the holidays.

I just created an account on the newly-launched social media platform UpScrolled.
First impression: clean, really easy to sign up to and get going. Format looks like a mix between Twitter and Instagram.
I like the core ideas behind this platform. It's based in Australia, with servers in Ireland. Created by Issam Hijazi, an Australian-Palestinian, and backed by Tech For Palestine incubator.
So, unlike Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon, Palestinians and Arabs will not constantly have to deal with shadowbans or suspension.
It promises to be activist, artist, and organiser friendly. Will be interesting to see how the community develops.

Some Dems are terrified to be blamed for shutting down the government. What leverage do we have, they whine. THE PURSE:
1. The budget on offer is going to be absolutely horrific; reject it and OFFER BETTER.
2. MusktRump has already shut the government down by firing so many thousands of people.
3. DEMANDS:
a. no budget until he rehires all those people they were illegally fired;
b. a SANE budget; and, most importantly,
c. FIRE MUSK & RATS AND ELIMINATE DOGE.

Stell dir vor, du bist derart menschenverachtend und moralisch verwest, dass du in einem offiziellen Dokument, behauptest, es sei ein gutes Argument gegen ein Aussetzen der privilegierten Sonderbehandlung Israels durch die EU, dass ein “bake sale" zugunsten von Kindern in Gaza stattgefunden hat, den du irgendwie doof findest. Dass das also irgendwie genauso schlimm sei, wie lückenlos dokumentierte sadistische Kriegsverbrechen und Massenmord und gegen diese aufgewogen werden müsse.

I must admit my morning wood is impressive today.
"Does anyone really believe that would not have happened if there were just some different executives at Google? The structural forces of capitalism, of the public market, of the demand for growth at all costs would have bowled them over too.
Indeed, we’ve already run the experiment on whether a set of companies and executives claiming they’d be better than the old guard will really deliver on that promise. That was exactly the narrative the tech industry sold to the world when it was a bunch of startups and scrappy founders fighting to displace the dominant firms they were going up against. They promised they would “do no evil.”
That narrative was valuable in selling themselves and their products to the public, with ample help from a credulous media that loves to chase money and power. Years later, we can see it was an effective marketing campaign that allowed them to evade regulation and taxation that applied to traditional industries for far longer than they should’ve gotten away with.
The tech oligarchs are just as bad as — if not worse than — the executives and monopolists that preceded them, and a new crop of founders won’t change the way that vast wealth and power tends to corrupt those who wield it.
There are certainly exceptions to these rules. Wikipedia remains a non-profit entity and Signal seems to be resisting the pressure to pursue growth at all costs. But they’re few and far between, and it’s not better founders that will change that. It requires upending the structural forces that push companies and the people who run them to cast all other considerations aside in the pursuit of power and profit."

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.
With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.
We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.
Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.
Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.
Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.
Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.
The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.
Your profit:
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
When 22.03.2026 comes, I will give you back your money in the amount of 953,000 US dollars.
That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 9 months.
