Here's mine, yellow used to have a purpose but I've removed the unsure ones as I've updated this over time.
I'm not giving up youtube though, and I've dumped too much money into steam as a teenager to uninstall it. Gonna build a nice little linux server once I get the cash and use it to replace dropbox and gmail. Not sure when I'm going to replace intel because I have several builds that use intel hardware. I think the botnet for that is mostly a meme anyways

>>60012266
Shit anon what microsoft software is holding you back from an almost clean slate?
>>60012282
My school integrated a bunch of microsoft shit into our student accounts. It was possible to avoid using but the teachers instructed everyone to use it so the botnet consumed all.
>>60012320
I don't use it, but if it's just a music player then there'd be no reason to let it connect to the internet at all.

>>60011704
wait what the hell does foobar do

>>60012360
You don't have to connect foobar to the net.
I let it sync to Last.fm and occasionally Discogs.
But it is not necessary.

What's hamachi even used for besides lazy minecraft servers? Same as that other anon tho it wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for facebook.

>>60012998
I use it to play a few games with my friends because we're too lazy to set up my firewall and open ports. It's useless beyond that. If you play steam games exclusively then you won't need it.

It's easy to de-botnet ghostery.

How do I use the net without adobe flash player? I tried without it and I needed to use it maybe once every 50 sites I go to.

>>60011861
No.... Unity isn't a botnet.
The distro its self is a botnet

>>60013176
Oh shit I forgot about flash and thought I missed one on my chart, but it turns out iridium disables flash. I haven't had a problem, any good website's looking to drop flash these days anyways.
>>60013182
I thought amazon got their fingers in unity and that was the bad shit. What's wrong with the actual distro?

I doubt it's any more convenient than any other shit that does the same thing, except other things respect your freedom.

Worse than I thought I'd be, few I'm struggling to get away from, need Windows for Ableton Live so I can't switch entirely to Linux and the only reason I have Facebook is to keep in touch with people over messenger.

Why not AMD too?

Shouldnt discord be placed on the chart as well?

>>60013586

Malwarebytes used to be pretty decent but ever since a certain update a couple of years ago it's almost become malware itself, pushing it's shitty payed features constantly. Better than like mcafee or something but I'd ditch it and get something better anon.
>>60013554
I'll give you some tips anon. Chrome has other chromium based alternatives such ungoogled chromium and iridium that function basically identically outside of a few google exclusive features removed, like search suggestion and other fairly useless shit. uTorrent is shit and there's a bunch of other more respectable BitTorrent clients, like qBitTorrent, or any other decent ones you can find through a quick search. I think ableton live works with wine but you'd have to look into that. Skype isn't even good these days, so unless you need it for work or to keep in contact with people who use it exclusively, ditch that shit too. Wire is a pretty decent FOSS alternative, but I'm still guilty of using discord because my friends use it. Tox was kind of shitty in my experience but has potential, although the development was rocky last I heard. As for steam start buying your games drm free through gog so you aren't as reliant on it.
>>60013555
According to some reddit thing they said they're talking about supporting coreboot/libreboot or something, which if that ends up happening with cement them as supporters of freedom in my eyes.

Frankly I can think of reasons more of them would be botnets, but a lot of it's just hearsay. Link good sources to this post and I'll compile them all and make a better botnet bingo format. Maybe swap foobar with discord. Is there a better more balanced order to get a bingo that anyone recommends?

>>60013638
Thanks annon, knew about ungoogled Chromium but didn't think to switch, I'll do that now. uTorrent isn't something I use often, just for odd things now and then but I'll take a look at qBitTorrent, thanks. I'll have a go at running it in Wine on another machine but I get the feeling there were issues with it before, haven't tried in a couple of years though so someone may have worked it out. Yeah I barely use skype but I like to have it because some of my friends still use it regularly, personally I want to ditch it though. Discord as well for the same reason, it's really popular and hard to get away from. As with a lot of people I spent a lot of money on Steam a few years back so I don't like the idea of uninstalling it, despite the fact I barely play anything on it now.

I don't know shit about instgram except that it's owned by facebook, but I imagine it's easier to drop than facebook because no ones exclusively uses instagram to communicate so you won't be losing contact with people

>>60013854
Yeah it'd be really easy to drop, I've almost dropped it anyway, just visit the website now and then to see what's going on, most of the time I don't see anything of value though so I wouldn't really be missing out.

Another thing I just remembered is that if you want to stop using the google search botnet, try a combination of startpage and duckduckgo. Duck duck go I'm sure you know of already as a privacy focused non logging search engine, but it's real advantage over other similar search engines is that it's fast. Not quite google fast, but just about. The downside is that sometimes when you're hunting down very specific results, such as tech support questions, it doesn't give you as good results as google would have. That's where you can use startpage, which essentially is a proxy between you and google that strips away all of the personally identifying information. You can use it to get the results you would have from google but without the spying. The downside is it's just slow enough to be mildly annoying, so I don't use it as my default search engine I just have it bookmarked and use it when ddg fails me. I'm still trying to get used to the setup tho, and I use google occasionally for things like reverse image search or out of habit.
The ddg/startpage setup though should theoretically get you the best results with the least personal information being shared.

>>60013638
>I'd ditch it and get something better anon.
What would you suggest

>>60013976
Thanks again anon, got chromium installed now, moved my bookmarks over and set default search to ddg

>>60013976
You also have lsquick and qwant, which are kind of fast but a bit slower than duck duck go. Both are freedoms and privacy focus ed but I haven't researched them as much. lsquick is made by the same people as startpage, and I think they combine different types of results together on one page in some way. I just tested and startpage images give pretty much the same results as google images but in a different order, so it's not even necessary to use google for google images. The right click reverse search google image extension was nice tho
>>60014013
Clamav is what the chart suggests. Personally I'd suggest common sense, but there's plenty of actual free anti malware software I've seen discussed.
After doing some quick research clamav is pretty legit, but here's a list of other shit that this website says has a free license
(removed link because spam filter on 4chan's a bitch, just look it up)
really I'd probably go with clamav though if I had a gun to my head, but frankly browsers are getting pretty good at guarding against viruses and malware before you even download them, so I'd just add malware protection filters to ublock and roll with that.

>>60014116
What even is the smiley face thing anon? I looked up mir and miro and the logo didn't come up. Pretty good though. Tryna figure out what the ubuntu botnet deal is outside of unity and amazon thing, and the most informative result I found was an article from last year by our boy stallman talking about how they removed the spyware and it's good now. So, if that's the case you're down to only two.

>>60014347

Same boat with the intel and youtube/google stuff. I wrote up some stuff on how to ditch chrome and google search in an above post, so you can get that going pretty easily without much loss in functionality. Instagram is owned by facebook so I'm sure it's just as botnet rich, if you can ditch that along with facebook. I'm sure you'll free up time to do more productive stuff as well.
Flash has security issues anon shit ain't good in the modern age.

God damn anon. Do you have any interest in switching to more freedom and privacy respecting software? Regardless last pass isn't very secure and leaked a bunch of shit recently, so don't use it. utorrent sucks as well, there's better options. What's sent you down this dark, proprietary road?

Really anon if you switched to linux and got a better bittorent client than uTorrent you'd be in pretty good shape

>>60014770
yeah shit needs to be culled. I think there needs to be some distinction between shady proprietary software and "botnets". unbuntu in its current form seems to be neither though, so it has no place on the list.

It was advice more for keeping the job and building a good rapport with coworkers and bosses.

I was also told that later down the line having a girlfriend helps and a wife even better because it makes you seem more trusting.

>>60014838
Dude don't base your whole life around sucking up to normies. Do what you want but work hard and gain experience and no one's going to fire you for not having a wife. Of course I don't know shit you're probably older than me if you're out of school and have a job, but all that advice sounds shitty to me.

Try to get them on wire. It's one of the more function skype alternatives and it's open source. Of course anon, there is an optimal solution to the >gaymen problem, but it takes some doing and potentially cash if you don't have the spare hardware lying around. Are you familiar with pcie passthrough in virtual machines? Basically you can use linux but run games in a windows virtual machine with its own dedicated graphics card for near native performance assuming your cpu isn't the bottleneck.

I suggest ungoogled chromium or iridium as a good chromium based chrome replacement. What distro are you looking at? I recently switched fully to debian and after working out some kinks it's pretty slick. Just got bluetooth working properly so I'm back to my old level of productivity. I already had a few years of experience on arch though

>>60015379
Yeah, Ungoogled Chromium is what I think I'll use.
[spoiler]I'm thinking of using either Arch or Gentoo, since I like >muh minimalism and >muh bleeding edge[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I could use Debian too, but I heard Stable has ancient packages and Sid is too broken. How is Testing compared to them?[/spoiler]

ill probably switch from chrome soon, right no wits just me being lazy. However, I probably wont switch from windows or steam ever, and i upgraded processors recently so i wont switch soon, but definitely like the ryzen processors.

>>60015493
I forgot I use paypal too, its just easy as fuck payment and money sending online.

>>60015472
I'm using Sid, and I've had less issues with it than I did on stable due to newer packages. I haven't been using it long enough to get a firm idea of how stable it'll be long term though. I assumed /g/ allowed spoiler I never tried.
>>60015493
You can enable password import/export for chrome, which makes switching to another chromium based browser pretty simple. You can do the same with bookmarks in the bookmark manager. You don't use any google services? I'm impressed, despite chrome/facebook.

No, I'm aware of hardware backdoors, I just don't think it likely that it's compromising my privacy. Still though if AMD ditches PSP then I'm team green 100%

What the fuck did you do? It's not compressed because you're file is bigger than everyone else's. Did you save the thumbnail and scale up or something?

Not ashamed of using any of these. You're a bunch of crackpot weirdos.

I think bingo boards are supposed to be 5x5 for a reason. The probability on 7x7 is low. Should be more like skynet hangman.
