Will it do better than the Microsoft, Sony, and Samsung stores?

Well, at least this will create safety-net jobs for all those CIA (and a lot of other intelligence agencies) recruits who wash out https://medium.com/@NafeezAhmed/how-the ... 36451a959e . :lol:

I can't wait to get kicked out for tire-kicking Fedora on their Chromebook Pixels...

Feh... In-Q-Tel doesn't really scare me, I'm well aware of how much it should, I just consciously decided against letting immaterial means of oppression influence my decision making.

Cool! In other words, your use of known data-mining spyware "normalizes" the spyware's results because you use it to do nothing illegal (giving the spies nothing for their trouble). I admire that. I try to do the same when I must. But, I also try to avoid rewarding such spyware with my dollars. It is a strange dance we do to maintain our privacy while trying to teach the spies that their work is useless.

Now, if we could just get Wrong Planet to stop its various ad-ware and analytic-ware so I can turn off my filters here. :wink:
