@kevinjardine@mastodon.social Then you are not paying attention when using Windows 11, since the advertisement is obvious. The "spyware" refers to Windows itself, since it sends back a lot of what you do to Microsoft. @jmaris@eupolicy.social @kde@floss.social

Looking it up will yield lots of articles about how badly they are spying on you
