I'm mostly surprised that there are companies interested in "conversations" between ~~bullshit generators~~ LLMs and mentally unwell people that "converse" with them.

If the free VPN provides an OpenVPN / Wireguard configuration, then you're mostly safe from this particular attack. Most sites use TLS, so the VPN provider won't be able to see shit.
In this particular case, it's a browser extension, which is actually able to access the contents of visited webpages.
You jest, but you aren't wrong. At least if we are talking about C, C++ or Rust. https://godbolt.org/z/oPPfdfcf5
.NET compiler is weak when it comes to optimizing your code; I assume Go's is as bad.
Alternatively, use Vesktop. It has telemetry removed. And it's actually developed with Linux in mind.
How progressive.
If you use Linux, this is a good reminder to spend a bit of time learning AppArmor / SELinux. rustc / cargo and processes spawned by them shouldn't have access to your entire $HOME.
LLMs need to be trained to work with reptilian language. Problem solved.
The game wants you to break it. Some of the late game bosses are so over the top you need the broken maelle build just to have a chance.
Simon? I mean, you could one-shot him in both phases, but I doubt he was designed with that in mind. There are videos on YouTube where people beat him legitimately (as in, don't skip the entire fight by not letting him do a single turn), after all.
Myself, I resorted to doing the entire third act, side-activities included, the easy way, but that's because I'm bad at dodging and parrying and not patient enough to retry the same fights over and over again.
It's evolving, just backwards.
