    Good for Signal! Microsoft is long overdue for a sampling of antitrust laws. They're no longer just providing PC manufacturers with a functioning operating system because Windows 10 and Windows 11 are spyware. Windows, collects data about user activity under the guise of improving Windows and providing personalized recommendations. While some of that's true most of it is about further monetizing individual Windows users.

    You might be interested in the attached. I saw this right after Win 10 was launched.

    I've already done most if not all of those steps a few years ago, starting with Cortana. The most frustrating was getting rid of the boot screen announces, because no matter what you did they rose again like zombies and kept coming back. I finally created an offline account that's been working thus far, but Microsoft has a habit of undoing your settings with updates.
