Of course Microsoft is evil. All companies are amoral machines driven only by profit. All basic search engines become more useless by the day, while Windows enshitifies in every way possible. The natural trajectory of all companies is monopoly, weakening all supposed benefits of capitalism by design. Capitalism requires heavy government intervention to ever benefit the customer, and by removing that as a viable option, liberal democracy has signed its own death warrant.
That's why I use Linux :3
I wish personal choices could keep us safe from capitalism, but that will never be the case.
I didn't claim to be safe from capitalism, all I'm saying is that my operating system, browser, and most other software on my computer are community owned.
But I use it also as a small form of my own private rebellion against capitalism.
Well put
