Me getting a virus on my computer after running sex.exe from limewire. Luckily it was only mildly annoying (as far as I know). A picture of a golfer would pop up and he would swing then the computer would shutdown. Happened once every few days and I kept using the PC for years with that on it.

Does castopod work for this?

Its a placebo your room isn't actually cooling down. The power companies just want to charge you more money.

Doesnt matter because all the board members could quit and nixOS community can update the config and rebuild.

Good, privacy is why they are being used. The government has plenty of legal ways to invade a person's privacy, perhaps they should consider using them.

It doesn't matter because it will never be a reasonable choice. You can believe that they made a reasonable choice to get addicted if that makes you feel better.

How is that not consistent though? If someone's argument is windows is usable because it takes to long to disable analytics the argument isn't invalidated by them configuring Linux for 1000 hours. Linux comes out of the box with no analytics so they would only be inconsistent if they spent that 1000 hours trying to disable Linux analytics. I enjoy configuring Linux but I do not enjoy configuring my system to be malware free.

People who spend that much time configuring linux are doing it for fun. Majority of people switching to linux have a working install setup in less time than it takes to install windows

I updated my family members pc to windows 11 a few weeks ago and it wouldn't let me login without a Microsoft account. That was insane to me.

This is huge. I hope it's easy to setup.
