I don't consider win10 telemetry that bad. You can dial it down a lot until it's just sending crash data when thing go bad. Pretty much all OSes have this. What I really don't like however is Microsoft pushing garbage like

There are reasons for avoiding Google, but I found Stallman's list a bit odd. Why do I care if the javascript I use to sign up on Google+ is not free? Now if you don't like being tracked at all time 1: enable privacy options for y

As fun as this may sound, beside nostalgia, are there any real reasons to learn 6502 assembly today? If you want to learn low level programming there are better and more recent systems out there (avr, arm)

> My experience is with Inkscape is quite different; it certainly doesn't feel intuitive to me. You haven't even tried to learn the software and still open your post with a statement like that?? Maybe you should watch some tuto
