      Some of us wouldn’t proudly admit to doing nothing with their time, but here we are.

      I’ve got important stuff on my personal machine, and it’s the principal of the thing, besides. Good luck to you, I suppose.

      I hope they use your PC as a botnet and steal your bank account some day when China has enough of us.

      @kadu @RubberElectrons It seems you don’t understand how independent opinions in a democracy are made. It’s about privacy and the right for it. No company has the right to snuff in my life and collect private data. Everyone has secrets.

      @kadu @RubberElectrons It doesn’t have to be the company itself.
      Imagine the unimaginable scenario where a group of hackers gains access to the company’s network and servers and plants a malicious patch to be sent in the next update.
      I wouldn’t be afraid of the company exploiting this. I would be afraid that a bug or hacker can do whatever with my computer because I gave this software root access, and it gets remotely updated, has network access and can become an amazing tool in the wrong hands.
