Every OS siphons user data Einstein. Yes even Linux (distros like Ubuntu do). A VPN won’t save you. It’s cute you think adding a lock on your room’s door will keep people out of your house.

You have a whole bunch of weird takes not based in reality. My life is not a room but my house that I can lock and control. A VPN does not work that way. And every OS does not spy. Ubuntu does not either. Windows and MacOS do, and it is possible to despyware Windows.

Also do you really think the travel comment is a successful gut punch? Try harder.
