Well, the post was about copilot,
so that's what my comment was about.

But I agree, fck all big-tech software.

If it's not produced by a non-profit as open source, then it's not worth your time.

(Due to anti-consumer practices, spy-ware/telemetry or vunerabilities to worry about)

Not on my machine. Or at least, I do everything humanly possible to limit it.

Either through:

• Switching to FOSS alternatives
• Custom patches applied to proprietary binaries.
• Blocking network access for certain processes

I don't expect everyone to become a privacy expert though.

However I do believe systematic privacy is important, and that we should aim for better privacy laws to keep the intellectual property of the average user safe.

Now they can also train their gray area trained model (trained upon our Github projects without consolidating with us if it was alright to do so) further!

By spying on every command you type in your CLI, and phoning home to MS about it, to train it further.

I guarantee you,
If you use it, you'll be their free training monkey.

And once they used you for free,
and the product improved enough,
they'll subscription charge you forever to make use of it.

Consider backing up in NextCloud, instead of sending your private pictures to a spy-ware giant who will sell it to the best bidder :P

If the product is free, but not open source, then you('r data) is likely the product to be sold / made money upon.

Google software = Spyware with some features on top.

I hate any form of spyware.
I hate how they pampered it with a euphemism and called spy-ware "telemetry".
I hate how sheeple are sticking their head in the sand regarding the spy-ware a.k.a. "telemetry".
I hate how we still don't have enough laws protecting our digital privacy.
I hate how the world appears to be turning into a massive surveillance state...

Please come up for your rights for privacy,
by saying no to spy-ware.

Hi, I've been struggling with similar things lately.

So I spent the day writing out a launcher tool similar to yours, but a bit more full featured :)

Check it out at: https://github.com/Rikj000/XWaydroid

Right now it only works for KWin_Wayland though,
which in my experience has been more stable / easy to work with compared to Weston/Cage.

However I'm open to merge in support for them too :D

Btop has been rewritten in C++, hence the ++

I switched to LibreWolf after I learned that Waterfox was/is ran by an advertisement company.

Today they should be independant again, however my trust in them is forever lost.

So kind of Google, always putting out new fun challenges to encourage people to get their hands dirty with hacking their crap :)

True open source projects like LibreWolf, Ungoogled Chromium > Sketchy world of Brave
