    Nah, failure to enforce consumer protection and anti-trust law is why they do this shit in the first place. It doesn't matter if you paid for it or not; even when you do pay, they exploit you anyway because they can.

      Yeah cars are one of the most expensive things you’re likely to buy, pull subscription bullshit, and spy on you like crazy, sometimes including your sex life. I pay about a gaming pc of cash upfront for my phone and still get spied on and advertised to by its os.

      And yeah I bought windows a year or so ago because I bought a new motherboard and needed an os and didn’t know linux was this good now. About a hundred bucks and it comes with all this bullshit that drove me to linux
