Says the president of the largest spyware ("telemetry") distributor in the world

"Please regulate the competition!"

True, but that’s because given their revenue model, this would impact them less than the corps which have embedded their tentacles deep into personal data of their users. Adtech is, by now, addicted to people freely giving up thief data and rights to their data.

Never the less, whatever happens when the elephants wrangle, it’s good for end users.

Regulate yourselves, FFS. I don’t want my paid operating system to send my private information constantly to your company.

Quit using software you can't control.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing. My wife uses it. I've used it for the past decade. XFCE is fully featured, smooth, and very light-weight. Others have been great too. Want software? Just install it with the package manager. Games? I used to run them in a windows VM when I really wanted to.
