This is real. And you can have your own fake activation watermark here.
Actual question. Isn’t installing stuff from third party repos like super dangerous? The package scripts run with root access, right?
So, I guess you could tell if the hash of the package matches the hash of the code after you build it… But, what about upgrades on that package after it is installed? They could change the setup scripts and screw a lot of people right?
Not saying these guys do it, just wondering about security stuff.
quote stolen directly from the repo:
“Science isn’t about WHY. It’s about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won’t hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired.” — Cave Johnson (Portal 2)
Lol
ideally package build scripts should be checked each update (although i am personally too lazy to)
Ain’t nobody got time for that 🎶
Even after paying, windows sells our info, every keystroke.
Any proof? Kinda seems like major privacy violation if it sold our keystrokes like that.
Is it really that bad? I haven’t used it in years so I’m not following it. Do they literally have a built-in keylogger?
Think about it practically. Microsoft is not an advertising company, they make their money from enterprise software. Windows is installed on billions of computers. The infrastructure required to accept and process every single key pressed by every single windows user and turn it into something usable would be enormous. And for what? To make a few extra millions by selling it to some advertising company?
Microsoft is an advertising company just like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple. Bing search and Edge browser in Windows are a few ways ads are shown to users. Netflix is using Microsoft ads network for their platform to show to their subscribers. Companies pay a lot of money to get preferential suggestions/queries on their stores and search engines.

Microsoft generates over 10 billion US Dollars per year in revenue from their advertisement division. The revenue growth from their advertisement business is growing exponentially at around 10 percent every year.
Fair enough, I didn’t know they actually operated an ad network outside their own services. I still don’t think they are keylogging everyone though
