It is retarded when people care about privacy, yet still use social media or even tech.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

this skeleton says the truth
Lonix users are fucking retarded and refuse to accept facts, dont bother with them
Im using linux because it works better / gives better control over the system not for retarded privacy autism reasons. I have Facebook, twitter, whatsapp, a smartphone and a notebook with ubuntu gnome installed. Now release your autism on me :))
>>57033368
I don't use social media and I have a flip phone. Also FreeBSD master race, you fucking nigger.
>>57033368
that's why I don't use social media and only use free software on my phone.
No idiot is is saying that GNU + Linux saves you from your stupidity.
I don't see how this is an issue to anyone browsing /g/. not a single google browses /g/
>>57033368
>he has
no
>>57033368
WAKE ME UP.
>>57033368
My smartphone usage is really really limited. You only leak the data you give to the smartphone
>>57034124
And the data that it takes.
>>57033368
>social media
Nope.
>smartphone
I run CM12 with no GAPPS. I also use Wifi Privacy so the phone only connects to access points that I allow. I know that the cell towers give off an approximate location, but the case can be made with 'dumb'phones as well.
You still use this website, though it uses Google Captcha.
If you care about your privacy, you should have been given up on this site.
If you're using a cell phone, you aren't more safe. It still can be tracked.
Take Stallman.
Ask yourself, would be he ever using 4chan?
People who care already aren't here.
Of course i don't use social media. I also actually took some good advice from Richard and prevent people from photographing me (to place the photos on social media)
I also E-Mail people links to stallman.org via my Protonmail account.
1. I do not believe that the Linux kernel is completely malware free. Some of its biggest contributers lately have been large corporations and government organizations.
2. I do not trust the Linux distros. Who knows what changes they make. I don't even trust the so called "completely free" ones specified by gnu.org. The only safe choice in my opinion is getting code from a very old OS and making your own system (which is nearly impossible for casual individuals to do on their own).
4. You are using hardware that is proprietary. How are you certain that your wifi is off or your microphone is off. Maybe the OS will tell you that it is off, but inside there is code that still uses it under your nose.
4. We are also presuming that the Ken-Thompson hack is not real.

Your location can be determined by knowing what WiFi access points are near you.

I use all those things, but it's best to do any questionable activities on a system you don't use to log into social media through 7 proxies
The worst part about this whole privacy thing is hindsight.
Had I known then what I know now, I wouldn't have set up a Myspace, I would have set up a facebook but made sure I was just a good little goy like everyone else (same with a smart phone) and I would've been running Linux or TOR or a VPN or something when actually taking a look at the world.
HEY GUYS DONT LOCK YOUR DOORS BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN USE SLEDGE HAMMERS AND TANKS TO BUST DOWN YOUR DOOR HELL WHY EVEN BOTHER LIVING IN A HOUSE A TORNADO WOULD DESTROY THAT

The non JavaScript version of captcha doesn't communicate anything about you to Google.
>>57035574
(You)
>>57035574
Except your headers, your IP, any google cookies
The time of your requests
how many requests you make per day
the site key used for the request so they know which site you're performing the captcha on

apt-analogy friendo.

>if you are on any kind of social media or have a smartphone
Neither of these things applies to me
I use IRC on occasion to discuss projects. That and shitposting on 4chan are the extent of my online interactions.
