dave_boo Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Mr. Stallman is correct....Ubuntu DOES track your habits and reports them back. That's the definition of spyware. And to make matters worst they're doing it for a purely commercial reason. They're not recording driver crashes, reporting them back, making corrections and pushing that upstream. They're monitoring YOUR computer and selling that information...I can't think of any good way to put that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crushdepth Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sorry to say it, but Ubuntu sucks. The initial vision was good and they did a lot for the Linux cause. Then they totally lost the plot with Unity and developed a certain arrogance; its been heading downhill from there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Since version 11 I've been suspecting the powers-that-be behind Ubuntu have an agenda that is very different from the original intentions of the Ubuntu project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 It seems the commercial temptations just became too great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
