privacy.sexy
Open-source tool to enforce privacy & security best-practices on Windows, macOS and Linux, because privacy is sexy
https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy/tree/master... looks like the raw data (yaml) for all these commands, including commands for macOS. With separated data and a git history, it’s at least plausible to audit it.
I probably still won’t trust it on a critical system without a reputable audit though, I think I’d still prefer to either trust Microsoft or Apple or go run OpenBSD or Linux instead.

Or

If you have trouble opening any reddit website on mobile change "www" with just the letter 'i' or 'old'.
Once they don't allow these workarounds I am leaving reddit for good.

awesome-windows-privacy
A list of awesome tools, documentation and scripts for better privacy on Microsoft Windows
There are a lot of open source scripts and tools on GitHub for accomplishing the same goal (in various state of being out-of-date, abandoned, etc.); I started collecting the ones that appear somewhat active here: https://github.com/TemporalAgent7/awesome-windows-privacy
I plan on going through them to weed out duplicates. You shouldn't trust any of those blindly, but definitely read through the code; I'm particularly interested in coming up with a list of services and scheduled tasks that can be safely disabled without impacting any of the applications and services I'm using (I want Windows Update, OneDrive, Office, Defender, Store and store apps, MS Account login and Xbox Gaming for example, which most tools want to disable).

Sophia-Script-for-Windows
:zap: The most powerful PowerShell module on GitHub for fine-tuning Windows 10 & Windows 11
A lot of recommendations here, but it's surprising no one has suggested Sophia Script yet:
https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows
IMO the best and most holistic solution for debloating and de-botnetting Windows.

FWIW, I recently started building my own ungoogled chromium from here: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-win...
Someone might post a binary build there soon with 94 (until yesterday they only had the ancient 89), but you can build it yourself as well (on my 32-core 5950x with 64Gb RAM it took 2.5+ hours to build, just to be prepared for that).
Note that it won't have the Google Chrome Store, so the process for installing extensions (ahem, uBlock Origin) is a bit more involved: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-wiki...
