I feel curious as to why that is.
Is it because you know Microsoft is blatantly in it for the money, meaning you are the direct customer. As opposed to Google/Amazon/Facebook, where you're the product?
- biocomputation 9y agoPart of it is because several of my family members have worked there, and, for the record, I totally agree with your characterization about them being blatantly about money. I feel like Microsoft is a bit more trustworthy because they haven't yet abused my personal information. I get the sense that things are slowly changing for the worse, and if it goes a bit further, I'll just switch to Clang and ditch Windows too. I definitely don't trust Google, Amazon, or Facebook at all. I'm only on Facebook a few times a month, and only from my computer. Never from my phone. No way in hell I'd ever install the FB surveillance app. FB is on probation with the FTC until when? 2030? They're an evil bunch of jackasses. IMHO, Amazon is the most sociopathic of the big four/five. They don't invade my privacy (because I don't let them), but I think they're pretty evil. I mean, Google is sort of soft evil whereas Amazon is WalMart level evil.
