We can call it HATE, yeah. There’s not a day when this OS is not my way.

Basic, plain Windows 10 Professional installation, nothing fancy. If it was not the gamers, it would have died long time ago.

    Don’t misunderstand me with the privacy, when you go online not even with VPN and TOR you are protected 100%, there are to many high tech tracking and profiling used by big tech and goverments (test it in Browserleaks and you will see, and Browserleaks only use the most important methodes). The user can only make it somwhat more difficult to profile him, more, he can’t employ full protection, because it will brake most of the websites which will stop to work properly. Adding naturally that the user himself is the biggest privacy hole. Nothing to do with communism, but with the greed of Big Companies which dominate the web. apart of countries which intercept sat and undersea cables (Echelon, bulk interception, etc.).

        I know these and also that browserleaks only checks the most habitual methods, there are a lot more and more sofisticated used. But for me is enough, when browserleaks show me wrong results or N/D , what can be expected with an acceptable protection. You can think to go completly as ghost in the web, but don’t trust, a lot of goverments and big companies also know these methodes and invert millions to track you, independent what you use with your humble PC. Even more so in the current cold war with Russia, which also takes place, and a lot, on the web, with the best hackers in the secret services on both sides, where a connection that is too private and encrypted can even be very suspicious, putting you in the center of attention. As I say, it is always a search for compromises, between reasonable privacy and what really makes sense, at least if you are not a criminal or a periodist in a dictatorship (The big drug lords prefer to use paper notes for their communications), without restricting yourself too much in browsing, not being able to access some pages, why they block you or do not work, which is very likely with too many privacy measures, I know.

            I quite agree with this. I am old and retired with many very diverse interests with a fairly massive use of the network. I know the traps that the user can fall into in his conviction of being safe and anonymous and I also know the limits of what is possible to blur his traces…and I know that this is becoming more and more difficult, while the big companies are allowed to brazenly spy on us with the dirtiest tricks. The user’s creed that is as absurd as in the movie Independence Day, of conecting a crappy laptop into the computer of the Alien Mothership, of a race millennia more advanced, to insert a virus. Maybe you are more anonymous than someone who uses Instagram or another Zuckerbot or Google crap, but don’t get your hopes up too much, they can write your resume without problems.
