I certainly agree with the sentiment (I would trust-bust tech giants, and severely restrict advertising as a whole for being a negative-sum game). Nevertheless, for living in this world while preserving your privacy, my advice stands. Separ

Developer setups are the foremost use case for toolbox (atomic Fedora) or distrobox [0]. Dev toolchains are infamous for pulling a ton of stuff into your system, and certain languages make switching versions a pain as well. So you install

The quoted paragraph describes two distinct and _separate_ group: the "obvious and silly" ones, and the "others [which] implied that we returned dangerous results". Smoking while pregnant is listed among the latter.
