”only on the web”, …yeah right.
Who made this meme forgot about android lol
- ....and chromeOS
More like "you guys have users?"

(I use Linux btw)
- I was going to down vote you to oblivion but then saw you use Linux. You are allowed to diss on it then.
Google has no room to talk here with Android.
- or chromeos
- Ironically a Linux-derived OS.
  
  It's always good practice to be careful who you trust with your data. Open =/= private. More choices helps, though.
  
  Ironically a Linux-derived OS.
  
  Nothing ironic about it. There's nothing mystical about Linux, it's just a kernel. The guy who made it says he doesn't care about anything but code.
  
  Personally, I only care about the code. When I say maybe there are people who worry about walled gardens and cloud providers who take ownership of your data, I am not one of those people. That's not what I actually care about. That's not what I do. What I do is code. What I care about is code.
  
  Android is very far from linux desktop. And it is private, its is google services that are bad, therefore we can have things like calyx and graphene os still be private.
  
  "derived" doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Microsoft ... I make billions spying
Google .... I make billions spying
Apple .... I make billions spying

Linux .... you guys make money spying?
- Linux .... you guys make money ~~spying~~?
- apple doesnt make billions spying. facebook and amazon do of course too.
  
  Apple made 4 billion in 2023 from selling advertisements on their devices. Sure, it's only ~1% of Google's ad business buts still technically billions
  
  Yes, they do. They're just better at pretending they don't.
  
  Facebook doesn't need to spy, the users give it up willingly.
I feel like MS and Google should be switched. Web probably has more harvestable info. Plus phones.
- Phones is absolutely a valid point these days, IMO OS > web + web browser in terms of what you can get.
  
  MS and google both know what porn you are looking at. What you buy from your PC etc... MS knows how much time you are spending playing games + has screenshots of all your encrypted conversations etc...
- The OS handles all the network requests, can take screenshots, and track your eyes
  
  But yeah Google Linux is way more popular than Windows for personal use
spy

Spy ON.
