In the not to distant future your commercial operating system will police everything you do on your computer, checking if you're not talking to underage girls too much and whether you're looking at kiddie porn.
It's this kind of crap that has me moving to Linux Mint. I see my computer as my property with which I can do whatever I see fit. Even if it's illegal.
Open source hardware and software are the only things preventing these Orwellian schemes.
- dagmx 4y agoAdvocating for Linux as a means to watch child porn and groom children is a hot take I didn’t think I’d be hearing, even from Stallman at his worst. I get your general point of complete privacy+control but, man, that’s definitely NOT the argument I think one should be making.
- UltraViolence 4y agoI'm not advocating anything. Talking to minors is not an offense and I find it despicable that any Social Network would mark that as "suspicious." And my point is that I want to be able to use my computer for whatever I see fit without some company peeking over my shoulder to judge me.
