Even more reason to never have any of those things on my computer

That's an easy one:

  • Don't use Edge. If you must use a browser made by a disgusting evil Big Data corporation, at least use Chromium - or Chrome if you don't mind being owned by Google - but not Microsoft's remix of Google's Chrome. You don't need TWO evil Big Data corporations violating your privacy.
  • Don't use Copilot. That one is kind of obvious, but... just don't.
  • Don't use Windows. Duh... But I recognize that many people are forced to use it at work.

If your using windows, microsoft is already soaking down your data. Why would you willingly let google in on the action?

I still haven't found a viable comparison to the virtual screen solution of Apollo (sunshine fork) on Linux. Forces me to use windows currently as I see absolutely no reason to have my main PCs monitor output whatever I'm streaming. Just a waste of power and it's so fucking easy with Apollo.

No it can't, because I don't use Edge

Microsoft Copilot can now 'see' my ass!
