You don't use the technical term, but you do ask.

I'm not against telemetry, I'm against making it hundreds of different hidden options.

Until they stop letting him screw with the sound track I'm done with Christopher Nolan movies.

Relying on cultural hot topics rather than real character building killed this show. The spore drive was also kinda "out there" though interesting. I wish the best for the cast.

That's what they said about Internet Explorer right up until the moment where Microsoft wanted everyone to switch to Edge. Not only could you suddenly uninstall it, but it even started uninstalling itself!

Funny how that happens

Ubtuntu Desktop definitely tries to push a few things but it's not even remotely as bad as Windows.

I prefer to live without my software nudging me to do anything.

How would you feel if your hammer stopped working after a while and each new hammer suddenly looked a lot more like a screwdriver because the company wants to sell you screws?

We did fine without it for a very long time. We still do with a lot of software. It's called voluntarily submitting a bug report and/or core dump.

Calm down bud. I had no issue with the initial post, but the comment I replied to sounds like you're trying to actually elicit change. My response was meant to make it clear that the general audience here agrees and you need to focus your efforts elsewhere.

The problem with Windows Updates is that they force new 'features' on you along with the patches.

With Linux you get to choose how bleeding edge you want to be, and can generally avoid the monetization crap.

It's called preaching to the choir. We are not your target audience.

Spot on. The availability of CSAM was overblown by a well funded special interest group (Exodus Cry). The articles about it were pretty much ghost written by them.

When you're the biggest company in porn you've got a target on your back. In my opinion they removed all user content to avoid even the appearance of supporting CSAM, not because they were guilty of anything.

PornHub has been very open about normalizing healthy sexuality for years, while also providing interesting data access for both scientists and the general public.

"Exodus Cry is an American Christian non-profit advocacy organization seeking the abolition of the legal commercial sex industry, including pornography, strip clubs, and sex work, as well as illegal sex trafficking.[2] It has been described by the New York Daily News,[3] TheWrap,[4] and others as anti-LGBT, with ties to the anti-abortion movement.[5]"
