I believe that Chromebooks probably already do this?

I’m afraid you’ll need to create an account at sopuli.xyz

I feel like you shouldn’t expose individuals like that, even if they’re being ridiculous

One’s gotta learn to enjoy the constant company of oneself

Then again, what Windows action doesn’t automatically get sent to Microsoft’s telemetry?

Arachnophobics are certainly not amused about seeing more spider pics on Lemmy
