​🍎 macOS is a proprietary walled garden.

🪟 Windows is a telemetry funnel for corporate data collection.

​🐧 Linux is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). It represents native digital sovereignty.

​Look at California’s shifting legislative landscape. Last year’s Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043) tried to force operating systems to mandate user age-gating. Lawmakers are trying to correct the mess via AB 1856 to exempt open-source developers but the new bill just pushes the surveillance pipeline further down, forcing browsers to silently track and broadcast user age brackets across the web.

When state laws treat technology as a top-down surveillance mechanism, proprietary systems will gladly bake enforcement right into their closed-source kernels.

FOSS isn't just a development model anymore; it's a critical tool for internet freedom and operational self-defense.

I just used it like a grammarly tool. I didn't ask it to form my opinion for me, though. However, it definitely wasn't OpenAI. I try not to touch anything Microsoft has a hand in.

My sincere apologies if that’s a false accusation, it’s not my intention to hang LLM-users on the internet. But rather I’m trying to say handwritten comments come across as more sincere and organic than ”AI-enhanced” writing.
