    I mean, MS can literally track you between Windows installs, as long as you’re on the same hardware. No surprises here.

              The only way :) Once I stopped using all proprietary software, I also quit social media (this account is the first one after such a long time) and I’ve never felt happier. Linux and privacy for the win!
