in plain english

privacy.sexy is a free, open-source tool that helps you lock down your computer's privacy and security settings on Windows, macOS, or Linux. You pick which changes you want to apply from a large collection of scripts, and the tool generates the commands needed to make those changes. Nothing hidden, nothing automatic: you see exactly what each script does before running it. The tool works two ways. You can use it directly in a browser at privacy.sexy without downloading anything, or you can install a desktop application on your machine. The web version and desktop version share most features, though the desktop app can do a few things the browser cannot, like running scripts directly. The script library covers hundreds of individual tweaks. Common categories include disabling data collection built into Windows or macOS, removing software you did not ask for, tightening network and browser settings, and cleaning up traces left by apps. Each script runs independently, so applying one does not depend on another. If a change causes problems, you can reverse it using the revert option the tool provides. The project is fully open-source and the codebase for the application, the scripts, and the deployment infrastructure are all public. The authors recommend reapplying your chosen settings after major operating system updates, since updates sometimes undo privacy tweaks. The project has extensive automated testing and a community that helps verify changes across operating systems. If you want to reduce how much data your computer sends to Microsoft, Apple, or other third parties, this tool gives you a straightforward way to do that without writing scripts yourself. It is free to use, and the source code is available for anyone who wants to inspect what it does.

prompt 2
Using the privacy.sexy script library, generate a minimal script that only disables Windows telemetry and leaves all other settings untouched.
