I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder... Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

I can only assume they don’t drop the hammer because they can take a cut instead.

you have way too much faith in a government agencies ability to see, understand, and act on a situation.

Thinking they're too dumb to do this shit is exactly what they want from you
