Telemetry, that's what is missing on a pure distro. I definitely feel safer if I know that there is a bigger entity that control my system and that can upgrade it without my saying anytime for my safety. Finally a Linux with advertising in the main menu....

I'd rather have governments that are less obsessed with weapons of mass destruction and that are looking to reduce their stockpile. That would give me more trust.

It should include a little dose of cyanide to enforce a non-disclosure agreement clause in case of termination.

If Objective-C ; did she use ARC or she went old school manual reference counting...... If she didn't use arc, she's a hardcore granny. Respect.

Am I the only one that get scared with that stuff ? I must be getting too old. I used to think that S. Hawking was an alarmist when he said that AI might end mankind... Not so much anymore.
