It is safe to assume the great dying will arrive in no time and there is nothing anyone can or will do about it. All they can do is to see their autonomy slowly being stripped away, their relics slashed and themselves thrown to the gas chamber. - Conspiracies

If they force you to get around it they also win.

I am already "forced to get around" all of the gross spyware and what not in commercial software. So the have already "won" I guess. I don't really see it that way. I think we won by getting the free / open source world so that we don't need all their spammy shit.

If I have to compile my own OS and install it myself, I can do that. I actually did a full Linux From Scratch about five or six years ago. It is just way more convenient to run a computer from a distro.

That's cope. Better to take back lost territory than to keep running until you can't anymore and the enemy backs you in a corner.
