Farage's Reform want to allow the super-rich to buy their way out of paying UK tax for just £250k.

This would cost the country an estimated £34 billion in lost revenue.

Rather than exempting the wealthiest, the Green Party would tax them properly to help fix our public services.

Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?


Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?

Dear all

I have deleted Onedrive and disabled File system access in Privacy.

  1. I would like to know, which other ways that my personal files could be uploaded in a non-malicious non-hacker way?
  2. Just by using Windows, Microsoft could upload all my personal files to themselves if they would?
  3. Does every installed App / software have full access to my whole drive? How can I found out, how much access it has?

Thank you for your interest and reply

Best regards


@Rikudou_Sage@lemmy.world

Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.

And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).

Yes, in theory any program, including Windows itself, could upload data to the Internet if not blocked.

Windows can be restricted by a network firewall. Programs can be restricted by filesystem permissions and the OS firewall, and not running them as admin.

But is this happening? Unlikely, unless you have malware. You can inspect your traffic.

can you explain how to do this?

steam games for example are nearly impossible to run without admin, can I restrict filesystem permissions for these software?

in reply to Holeheadou92984

As for restricting access to files you could run them under a separate user account. User A shouldn't have access to User B's home folder. Although if its something that would need granted admin access I think it would have access to other users files again.
in reply to reddeadhead

thanks

does this mean software with admin privilege only have access to user folder not root folder of C drive?

in reply to Holeheadou92984

Things with admin privilege have access to everything. If it is only user-privileged, it only has access to what that user was granted access to.

What steam game requires admin permissions? I'm not aware of any games that require admin permissions.

Well, that is fair. Those anti-cheats are in user-land on not-windows. Don't think I have given admin permissions to any game, including those with Easy Anti-Cheat, etc.

I'm still surprised Microsoft allows those to exist. Particularly for something as mundane as games.

Any open source projects out there using Nextcloud Talk for real-time chat?

I’ve been researching and testing a whole bunch of solutions for open source projects while explicitly evaluating them on their fit for something pretty cool I’m working on. The gist is supporting an inviting, easy-to-join open source community of mixed-age members (including teens and adults). Due to this, safety and moderation tooling are extremely important. And so is price!

I would like to stress that if the desire is regime change, Israel and the USA are doing it the dumbest way possible.

Attacking Iran causes Iranian citizens to rally around the flag and the government, the same way Americans did after 9/11.

Either they are lying about wanting regime change, or else they are too incompetent to be allowed to have power.

The image is a black and white photograph featuring two individuals, a woman on the left and a man on the right. The woman is wearing a dark-colored dress with a brooch and a necklace, and she has short, light-colored hair. The man is dressed in a suit with a tie. The background is dark, suggesting an indoor setting with other people present, though they are not clearly visible.

Below the photograph, there is a caption in quotation marks that reads: "Yes, he's an idiot with zero common sense, and no social skills, but he IS my son. I just hope he never gets into politics. He'd be a disaster." The caption is attributed to Mary Anne Trump.

in reply to Steve Herman

Iran’s foreign minister says no agreement on a ceasefire, but Tehran will halt its attacks if Israel stops its aggression by 4am local time.



Dozens of Palestinians, including women, children, and people waiting for humanitarian aid, were killed or wounded in Israeli airstrikes and gunfire across several areas of the Gaza Strip early Monday.

These attacks come amid catastrophic conditions resulting from what many are calling a genocidal war waged by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
