We all build our own prison ...

First, they gave us a window. It wasn't perfect, but it made life easier. This window was then improved and made more convenient. This quality, but also mafia-like practices, allowed them to create a #monopoly. Ultimately, this led to a decline in quality and customers being forced to accept #surveillance, subscriptions, #AI, and #cloud services. In the end, the window was barred and made smaller.

But for those who didn't get too comfortable behind the window, a penguin named TUX has a #jailbreak ready. Floss is a jailbreak that allows you to always get free updates and continue to use old hardware. This helps the environment and your wallet. But #BigTech doesn't want you to know about it and wants to keep you in #prison and locked in dependency.

Ultimately, everyone must decide for themselves whether #freedom is more important to them than finding reasons to remain in prison of their own free will.

#Microsoft wants to force #users to create an #online #account when #installing #Windows 11. 👎

Microsoft writes in its blog: blogs.windows.com/windows-insi…

Local-only commands removal: We are removing known mechanisms for creating a local account in the Windows Setup experience (OOBE). While these mechanisms were often used to bypass Microsoft account setup, they also inadvertently skip critical setup screens, potentially causing users to exit OOBE with a device that is not fully configured for use. Users will need to complete #OOBE with #internet and a Microsoft account, to ensure device is #setup correctly.

We must fight back against large corporations such as Microsoft abolishing our #privacy with #bullshit justifications like: "Users will need to complete OOBE with internet and a Microsoft account, to ensure device is setup correctly."

Anyone familiar with the command #console and the OOBE #command can be trusted to add critical #updates and drivers themselves after #installation, and even if they don't, the #update process will do so automatically after a while. Microsoft is just trying to use fancy words to hide the fact that forcing users to go online allows it to better #spy on, #track, and #monitor them. It is outrageous to justify this disregard for privacy by claiming that it is concerned about users and their #security. All large global corporations use similarly stupid wording to justify collecting #data about users.
