Is OSX the only sane option left?
Piss off.
>>54898094
No, Gentoo is a pretty viable option i hear.
>>54898094
You have no privacy unless you permanently disconnect from the internet.
I think they're talking about stuff on Microsoft's services like Onedrive and Outlook

Does Linux access and disclose my private folders?

Notice it doesn't actually say that and OP is making things up

> implying apple doesn't collect your data.
Kill yourself, shill.
>>54898138
No
But it's pretty easy for an certain agency to access those private folders regardless
>>54898163
yes by targeting you specifically, not through mass data aggregation
There's still time.
>>54898163
Only if I am a target. I don't think NSA is able to breach a few non-windows users as well.
Good to know my OS does not willingly disclose my private content
>>54898183
What happens after that? Stop using computer?
>>54898150
DO
THEY
DISCLOSE?

Who vanilla windows 7 here?

Enjoy your vulnerable OS

I love how /g/ thinks the only threat out there is the NSA. They are the only ones who would want to collect your data. No one else.

Gentoo is for:
1. Casual Linux users
2. NEETs
>>54898241
I literally don't care. What are you going to do about it?

If you trust binary-based distros, maybe yes.
You can't be sure the package is built from the same source code they publish unless you build it manually and compare the object code for differences
Get tails. Two usb drives and no hard drive.

against what?
>>54898696
Self generated checksum
>>54898183
Windows 7 isn't any better
OSX already does that.
>>54898549
Yeah I can bold fonts and un-bold fonts too, Anon.
OS X also collects your shit
Even Linux can be compromised since it has a huge code base and increasingly difficult to audit
plus big companies help develop code

So many red flag formulations that tell you they collect a whole lot more data than they explicitly mention.

>"stole my music" meme
The tech support person he was talking to was either an idiot or a figment of his imagination.
Some people lost music due to a bug. 99% of users did not. It was never policy nor code to do what he claims was policy/code. But some people are always wearing tin foil hats and just can't accept there are bugs.

Pathetic
i run windows 10 but currently running lubuntu 16.04 persistent on a usb
>>54898146
it actually does, just hit expand all and search "finally"
>>54898094
I find OSX more usable than any OS I've ever come across. Imagine the most refined Linux Distro ever with a nice consistent theme. Also I can alt-tab to programs on other virtual desktops.
I don't get it, they will comply with police and turn over e-mails that they control.
Where does apple say they will not turn over emails on icloud or @me.com or whatever the fuck their domain is?
>>54898094
debian-testing with Cinnamon or KDE is better than Windows or OSX for anything except video games and other proprietary software that doesn't run well on Wine.

Pick one and only one.

Shameless apple merchants.
