GNU/Linux, software freedom and Internet privacy

[Robin]

What does she usually do on a computer? And does she like Windows on a Mac?

Idk what she does on that Mac, most likely internet browsing and email. And yes she's happy as fuck with Windows running on that Mac.

Well if that's what she's doing on a computer, I really don't see what problems would OS X pose for her.

She disliked MacOS (it's MacOS not OSX nowadays), she always kept complaining so I fixed it.

The very first time you connected to the internet you have lost ALL of your privacy.
Privacy does not exist any longer, period.
You can not do anything to protect your privacy, whether it be some linux distribution, win 95 or win 10, you are being watched all the time. The only thing that matter is, or the question to be asked is, are you "interesting" enough to be watched daily?

The only thing I don't like about windows is the spyware software they add to there computers. I'm not that technology savvy but even I know that some of those programs have data collection software added to it. It kinda makes wonder why they care about what we do on the computer so much. I'm not one for acting on paranoia but I have a feeling they're getting paid big money by most gov's to collect intel on there civilians to use against them. Big business have always been known to do such things to get the blame off of there backs. Or maybe it's the opposite, they're paying the gov to allow our privacy to be easily accessible to the corps.


Ether way it won't be good since no one's perfect and will do something blackmail worthy. Still it's technically illegal to do said things but pay the right people off and apparently you can do anything.

Just my thoughts on this matter.
