Non botnet life

there was a bingo botnet thread a day ago with pic related. it got me wondering if an adult person with an office job could function in life without ANY of these? in particular, i wonder if there are non-botnet version of the following:
pc OS
smartphone OS
free storage cloud
free email
free texting service
free functioning search engine
free good music player

What is so bad about ghostery?

i was just curious is all

I have the same question about ghostery. It seems to work nicely and have disabled all information sharing.

Also went back to windows7, am I doing it right?

so we have it now?

...

Its closed-source and made by an advertising company. By default, it sends diagnostic data back, though you can disable it.

People consider it bad because:
1) It offers absolutely nothing more than uBO with the Privacy+Multipurpose lists enabled
2) You cannot tell if the switch to turn off diagnostic data is a dead switch without making traffic analysis. No one has bothered with it because of 1).

CyanogenMod collects your personal info, according to their privacy policy: cyngn.com/legal/privacy-policy

>pc os
no, nasa got backdoors in linux kernel anyway
>smartphone os
both android and ios are botnet
>free storage cloud
no
>free email
self hosting is easy
>free texting servers
no if you want to talk to other people
>free functioning search engine
no
>free good music player
not really
foobar2000 is a botnet. thats a fact. the owner purposely closes source because it contains backdoors by MS (this is also the reason its windows only)

well i use also clementine , i guess its way better

Is duckduckgo a nonbotnet search engine?

I don't use computers. No botnet. I shitpost with paper and pencil. Then I send pigion to dilver said shitpost to a friend with pc to post for me. I change post location everytime.

>tfw I don't know what half that shit even is

I only use Windows XP and it's not a botnet because MS literally doesn't give a fuck about us anymore.

Also, that card is too big for bingo. This thread is dildos.

No, use searx.me.

that's a considerable concern, what's the libre alternative?

I wish people that actually knew how Bingo worked would make these.

So I'm fucked right....

Only thing I have left to do to live in true freedom is get rid of my android and I'm good.

disconnect

I have had CM for a while and got fed up with bugs and lag. I just updated to the S7 and am running full bot. It never felt smooth.
t. new bot slave

fuq

I guess I'm decent.
Using AICP not sure if that counts or not.
Anyone got a decent alternative for YouTube, Drive, and maps?

Almost had me, OP.

I get most of these...

How is lastpass part of the botnet?

And LINE? Thats Korean right? The korean botnet counts?

Thanks
Installed that shit just now

>Ghostery
>Kik
I use both of these. What's so bad about them?

see

>muh closed sores is automatically bad

Do you fucks even read the source? No? Then fuck off with this autism.

>nasa

damn youre right, the space program is always watching

wtf? how is foobar2k part of the botnet?

Is it on Chrome?

Thanks my dude.

...

Because this is a bait thread.

Just installed Disconnect and it's shit. Was looking for something good and free.

I switched to Linux and free software. Escaping the botnet is hard

>falling for the botnet meme
your intelligence is showing

What's wrong with foobar? :(

>free storage cloud
AHAHAHAHAH !!!!!!!!!!!

WHY NOT FREE TELEMeTRY WHILE YOU'RE AT IT ????? ??? !!!!

What do you guys think of tutanota for email client?

...

Reminder that botnet also comes in hardware ie. intel cpu's and chipsets

How is Opera botnet?

Its hard to live without Spotify and Netflix
Plus chrome is the only good modern browser

>its closed source, that makes it a botnet

>self hosting is easy
How will you get mail through major mail providers spam filters? I heard they'd consider self-hosted servers as spam servers.

Okay, even if it wasn't a botnet before, it's definitely a botnet now. Closed-source and Chinese? Come the fuck on.

Closed software can't be trusted.
So does FOSS, but at least you can check the source on your own and even compile it oj your own if you're afraid of binaries provided by developer.

Sorry, I can't hear you over my superior music player

Since when are foobar2000 & Teamspeak botnet? Is it just because they're closed source?

...

What superior music player?

no idea about TS, but in the other thread people said foobar are related to some russian botnet stuff

Apple rules, designated charger not work

Wrong thread Rajesh

What is wrong with opera?

Closed source so that clearly means your information is being passed around to everyone ever.
