Except you’re not really given the soup. It’s just there for your taking, with a sign “contains piss”.
I’m just permanently surprised by the entitlement of people smh
How much free stuff did you create in your life, piss or not?

It’s a tool. As engineer, I will try to use each and every tool that helps me, so it’s reasonable for me to learn using this tool effectively as well: what works, what doesn’t, what’s expensive, how can I keep it under control etc.
Of course thats only the purely technical/utilitarian aspect, and I’m not going into the moral/social aspects here.


How would anyone place a 100% community driven distribution like Debian in such a cage? There’s no monetary leverage, the community is truly international, so local laws don’t apply …
Please note that it’s also one of the most prolific distributions, and the foundation p.e. for *buntu.
If you’re living in an oppressive jurisdiction, your employer might obviously not allow you to use a truly free operating system, but that’s hardly Linux’s fault.
So if your favorite distribution is starting bullshit, just switch to the next one, there are literally thousands of them. That’s why “Year of the Linux desktop” is confusing: it’s “year of steamOs” or “year of *buntu”, probably even “year of Debian”, but most certainly never “year of the nixos desktop”.
You have choice. Use it.
Oh, I see. I didn’t read the implied /s 😂
Yes, of course your router (that’s routing your network traffic) sees the traffic it’s routing - although these days almost everything is using https , so the router wouldn’t be able to inspect the content.
However, the original question was about windows, and I don’t know of any router that uses windows, so I’m not sure if that addresses your actual question.


Or so you think - dun dun duuuuun
If you can point to any part of the analogy that’s valuable, I’m happy to go along. But this post is like breaking into someone’s home and shitting on their table. There, I can analogy too.
