I don't use any of these on Windows 11. I have complete control of my computer. I can cut it off the internet if I want to. I can block telemetry if I want to. Windows is a a very hackable system. I use Claude AI for my AI explorations. I'm happy with one caveat: If Microsoft 'recall' is not opt-in so is forced on me I'll switch to Linux, which I like too. It's not as nice as Windows imho but it works.

At this point it's opt-out. Every minute you spent not switching from Windows is a minute you spend endorsing their inevitable coup against your agency. Why wait? Why live in fear of that happening?
- labrador 2y agoI'm not living in fear of that happening. I'm keeping an eye on it. If it crosses a certain threshold I'll switch to Linux. It's not that hard to install Linux.
