In the spirit of not getting the joke, Pine64 could be worth checking out for whoever shares this sentiment. It’s the closest thing to user friendly free open source hardware at the moment, and their laptop (the #PinebookPro) actually looks pretty neat. @PINE64 @pine64eu

There are reasons for data collection. But having it be opt out instead of opt in is the more evil of the two choices.

Fedora, from what I last heard, is doing the same thing for new installs. You gonna go send your pitchfork over that way too?
