>anything popular is a botnet
fucking retarded. half the things on here do not apply to being a botnet. like seriously, how can you be so buttmad to put foobar up there?
>>61152130
>foobar not botnet
You'll see when CSI knockes at your door for listening to animu loli music
>>61152130
I'm pretty sure nobody that's important enough to have a meaningful influence as to the future of these products is stupid enough to wear a tin foil hat as big as 70% of the people's hats on /g/ so I wouldn't worry yourself. Just play the game you fag
>>61152005
>>61152244
Gentoo.
>>61152568
Gentoo is a botnet, though... Everything with a package manager is a botnet
Whew that was close
I'm working on reducing leaking my habits/daily data but I'm fine with proprietary software as long as I can properly isolate or sandbox it.
meh
rate
>>61152578
gimme your address
Im OK with this
>>61152005
>>61152005
Literally none except WhatsApp because all my normie friend s are on it
Who /template/ ?
>>61152005
Best you got?
Woah this is unacceptable I must switch to GNU software immediately
do i win anything?
most of them I have to use because of work or friends.
Huh, that was easy.

Well at least you got one of them right this time. And Google should be the free space since they run the captchas on 4chan.
>>61155504
>doing the captcha
Anon...
Thought it was going to be worse.
>>61155646
Windows Phone?
>>61152005
How is uTorrent a botnet, you cuck?
Is there any evidence that PayPal is botnet?
>>61155646
No, I have a Xiaomi. I use outlook for 'serious emails' and have a bunch of throwaway google/gmail accounts so I can upload movies to gdrive and register for bullshit websites.
>>61155758
New versions are ad-supported.
>>61152005
Amazing, considering I'm normie as fuck and don't know any coding languages at all
>>61152005
after all these years of purifying myself, i'm only guilty of using whatsapp because of school. whatsapp is where i get homeworks etc.
feels good man. enjoy your botnet cucks.
mIRC is botnet ? I thought IRC is literally as antibotnet as they come
So many of these are used for work which is even more botnet as I have to use real names/details.
>>61156219
>>61152005
How is linkedin a botnet?
>>61155981
It's proprietary and nags you to pay for the full version after 30 days. Only a fool would pay for an IRC client.
>>61152005
I'm trying to recognize the one that looks like an alien, it's between the whatsapp and JavaScript logo. What is it?
>>61156755
Discord
>>61156776
Cool, thanks.
>>61152005
Roast me.
>>61152005
>>61152005
U mean oracle java?
>>61152005
Truly I am the botnet.
I've been meaning to switch from ghostery for a while, though. But doesn't it only share data if you do the ghostrank stuff? I don't.
In any case, which adblocker is better than it?
>>61152005
>>61152005
How are foobar and Utorrent part of the botnet?
Not surprised about Intel but what are the specifics? Those plus steam are the only ones who have me.
r8
I feel like this tells all about my computing life
how do i avoid the botnets if i need them for social/gayming
I'm a "normie" as they call it.
But I still have an airgapped low power sbc for encrypting and signing messages :^)
>>61153682
op you dummie
>>61152005
>>61153682
ayyo
>>61155758
>not knowing about the bitcoin miner they installed onto your system.
Botnet is a meme word for "Things I dont like, but cant put into words why cause I am a braindead faggot", but at least OP got this one correct.
So how is java a botnet? It's been free as in freedom since 2006.
>>61160386
Actually it means bloated proprietary software that is likely collecting your data or using your resources, but nice try champ.
Not bad
>>61160450
It has proprietary components, and we can't know what they do exactly. Might fuck up RNG? Who knows. Might capture encryption keys from RAM, who knows.
>>61152023
An easy fix would be to switch chrome for "Sw Iron", it also based on chromium but just removed the botnet. It has the same functionality as chrome, but some things like autocomplete are disabled
>>61160541
SystemD, JavaScript, Java, Ubuntu are all open source.
Nice try at damage control, chimp
>>61160573
even the open source java version?
>>61160573
OpenJDK is completely libre, please point out any proprietary components of it
Is Malwarebytes a botnet?
>>61160589
First of all, Javascript is a vehicle for DRM code.
I use systemd, but I'm always uneasy that they've possibly slipped some kind of shit in there that's exploitable (maybe even by accident) because systemd touches almost everything. I like systemd desu but it's a little much.
Again, I use ubuntu. But ubuntu has some proprietary components. Same with java.
It's all or nothing. So deal.
>>61160650
Everything you like is botnet.
No kind of fun computing allowed!
>>61160668
>Same with java.
Again, use OpenJDK it is the stallman approved implementation of java.
meh whatever
>>61160668
>ITS NOT FOSS
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>also I use closed source stuff too.
>>61152005
easy
what the fuck are half of those logos anyway. I also don't understand how the hardware itself is botnet, especially my cpu.
>>61160738
forgot pic
- Why is TS Botnet? What should I use instead?
- I use Avira, should I swap to Clamav? It's devil logo makes not trust it.
- Not willing to ditch Steam.
- Says Office 365, but what about KMSpico'd word/excel/pp/access? Libre is terrible.
>>61160733
I'm submitting my anus to ((them)) so I can be a normal good boy.
I actually don't give a shit. But I like software that isn't hard to use and my time is (probably) more valuable than figuring out the dependencies involved with using some other alternative. I want it to be customizable, I want the coreutils I know, and most of all I don't want windows or mac.
>>61160759
Why is libreoffice terrible? Haven't used it that much yet
>>61160828
I just can't get used to it. Been using it for a year until I finally gave up a week ago and went with Office 2013. The interface is ugly, and you have to spend hours editing it so it somewhat resembles word's and excel's, the palettes are garbage, and you also have to edit them. It sucks update-wise, and so on. So far, Office is like Steam, the cost of getting rid of them is not worth it.
>>61152005
barely anything and i still feel dirty
>>61152005
Install TempleOS and God will protect you.
Is discord truly an botnet program? care to explain why it is?
>the whole internet is botnet
hmm well, the only option to escape 'botnet' is not to use interwebs then.
>>61160828
Formatting fucks up really badly sometimes. Kinda sucks when you need to touch up a 500 page document and everything is read completely wrong, all the vectors are the wrong size, way the fuck off the page, etc.
>>61161382
Because it's closed source and /g/ is full of cucks
How'd I do?
Easy.
>>61161431
And not having a processor.
>>61152005
How'd I do?
>>61158554
I'm pretty sure Ghostery has been taken over and recently updated it's privacy policy to include sharing all your metadata with 3rd parties so it's probably better to just remove it.
I would recommend ublock origin for ads and if you really want full control of your browser then umatrix is excellent (once you learn how to use it properly... as it will break most websites at first)
>>61152005
>>61164153
Out of curiosity I went there to see their privacy policy. It still seems to me that data sharing is still an opt-in feature.
> There is no obligation on your part to provide your Personal Data.
> The only way we will collect this Tracker data is if you affirmatively opt-in, and when you do so, the data we collect is limited.
However I will still look at those other extensions, thanks for the recommendations, anon.
>>61152005
guess ill die
doesn't gentoo have systemd as well?
>>61164473
You can choose to use it
>>61164523
you've convinced me to install gentoo
Wow... I scored terribly. (at least I don't have a facebook)
EVERYTHING IS A BUTTNET
MUH FREEDOMES
>intel on the list but not amd
lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Alright, what VPN isn't a botnet?
How much of a normie I am?
>>61152005
Too easy to lose, only ultra-chads can get bingo. Condense it more
Why is Zoho botnet senpai?
>>61152005
h8
>>61152005
I don't think I did too bad, especially since the stuff is extremely limited, for the most part. Pandora is strictly limited to my Roku 3 (without voice control) and Roku Stick, for example. Ditto for Netflix. PSN is limited to consoles. Paypal is obviously PC based, but it's tracking ability is limited thanks to things like self destructing cookies, NoScript, and Random Agent Spoofer.
Really, Intel is the only one that outright has me dead to rights, I guess.
>>61164658
Gentoo is a shit meme. Use Devuan or Void Linux.
>using the old version
baka
>>61168960
How is NoScript a botnet?
>>61168967
the author redirects you to this homepage with every update so he gets ads impressions
>>61168972
How does that qualify it as a botnet, especially if you have ublock origin or an agent spoofer?
>>61168982
a botnet is something that makes you do things you don't want. you have no choice but to give his spyware infested website a visit
>>61168987
That's not what a botnet is.
>>61169013
yes it is. keep on defending your shady security product
>>61169021
You show me a reputable source that describes a botnet as "anything that takes you to a different webpage than you want," because you can go to pretty much any porn site, and find that - GASP- your web browser is a botnet!
>>61169054
popup ads are a botnet as well, yes
that is why people use adblock
No botnet here
>>61169062
I didn't see a citation from a source confirming what you've said.
You're an idiot.
>>61168960
>WhatsApp appears twice
>Adobe stuff appears twice
>Google (search engine) appears twice
>Tixati and μTorrent but not BitTorrent
>Perl, XHTML, CSS somehow botnet
Try harder.
>>61169079
BitTorrent is just μTorrent but with a different logo, newfriend.
>>61169078
Mr Marone, shouldnt you go back to lulling your firefags users in a false sense of security?
>>61152005
Three more botnets to eliminate
>>61169088
>Mr Marone, shouldnt you go back to lulling your firefags users in a false sense of security?
Still not a citation.
>>61169095
>>61168960
Thanks
>>61152005
I very, very reluctantly signed myself up to the Discord bandwagon - until a web chat I used to hang out in disappeared migrated to where everyone else did. I keep telling myself and others that I hate it.
I'm a noscripter, but I'd evidently be be lying if I said I block every single non-free licensed script.
My Intel process is pre-management engine (core 2).
Have no real excuse for youtube and twitter, just addicted to them.
>>61168987
>A botnet is a number of Internet-connected devices, each of which is running one or more bots. Botnets can be used to perform distributed denial-of-service attack, steal data, send spam, and allow the attacker access to the device and its connection. The owner can control the botnet using command and control software. The word "botnet" is a combination of the words "robot" and "network".
It's more of an what I don't have than what I have.
>>61169305
You don't have a bingo.
>>61152005
>>61152005
How fucked am I?

If you checked Ubuntu you also need to check systemd
