I hate to be the voice of reason here, but if you get inside a powerful device to pilot it you should at minimum read the directions first.

I’ll be honest, $240K a year is far more than I make now… I’d probably be shedding a tear as I told them to stick their spyware in their butts. 😥
Truth.
A quotation circulates on the Internet, attributed to me, but it wasn’t written by me.
Here’s the text that is circulating. Most of it was copied from statements I have made, but the part italicized here is not from me. It makes points that are mistaken or confused.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
The main error is that Linux is not strictly speaking part of the GNU system—whose kernel is GNU Hurd. The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.
We don’t use the term “corelibs,” and I am not sure what that would mean, but GNU is much more than the specific packages we developed for it. I set out in 1983 to develop an operating system, calling it GNU, and that job required developing whichever important packages we could not find elsewhere.
He actually added to the pasta…
She has only one buttock 🤣
A16, C7, still not quite there with hands. 😬
Children 😬
It’s all 404 now, all the github pages are gone, the repo is gone.
Duplicate post: just use ChatGPT. Closed
X… Elon… X Elon… XElon… XYlon… I figured it out guys, he’s an evil robot whose creator forgot the I part of AI.
Last time I compiled a kernel it was on a bus-overclocked K6-3/500 (higher bus, lower multiplier).
Reddit was the same way. The King is dead, long live the King!
Apparently Ford got the E first so King Twit went with a 3.
And the abuses that have been brought to light because there’s a way to do so?
Get Brother. Epson works but it’s more fiddly, I haven’t tried a Canon in a long time.
You’re going to use a 10 core 64GB machine as a firewall? Do you mow your lawn with dynamite also? 🤣
If there was a weird procedure to open the doors I’d read that part… and anything else that isn’t standard or obvious too.
