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.

Requiring at least 50GBs of free space! Yeah, Microsoft’s spyware is exactly what I want to spend my storage on.

A corporation is simply a legal entity that anybody can register. You could have one tomorrow morning if you wished.

I do own a corporation, even if I'm alone. It's just that I own all the shares and equity privately. I'm also a business owner because I run a business with that corporation. But a business owner can also run a business without a corporation if he chooses to.

Now, you can do a lot of things with a corporation depending on your goals and aspirations. It has different rules, laws and purposes than a normal employee or a self-employed individual.

Examples: hire people, tax benefits, grow larger, own assets, sue and be sued, raise capital, loan/borrow money, go public, etc.

A corporation is what you make of it.

Yeah people on the Internet tend to be very very jumpy at anyone It could very well have been that people just took your tone as condescending or whatever better adjective describes it. It isn't your fault

right 30 years of selling user data an enshittification and the home assistants from a companny that regularly pays fines for privacy infringement

Let's say for the sake of argument that is does remain all local. Hogging up your CPU, RAM, and Disk space, but its all local, unlike every other bit telemetry.

If it is completely local, why would I want it? What does the end user gain? I can think of what non-Microsoft agents would gain. If your computer got compromised, now a third party can see everything Recall logged. Could be completely mundane, could be private information, could be something worth blackmailing someone other.

Today I had to punch in my SSN and phone number to for my health insurance to confirm who I said I am. I don't want anyone to know that who has no direct need to.

So if it is completely local, and everyone is opt-in by default, why would I want it in the first place? What does the end user gain? If I wanted my CPU hogged up for no reason, I'd start mining Bitcoin. If it was harmless, why is Microsoft not really commenting on it on the same way they do other things like Office, Teams, Xbox, etc.
