I downloaded free cracked linux version, plz help me how to disable this watermark.
- I can get you a Mint CD key for 15€ or Arch for 2€. DM me.
  
  I get you a LFS one for free, I even pay a camera team do document your process of liberation
- You just have to add „All hail Tux“ to the end of every comment and it should go away in 2-3 business days
  
  I heard if you say "Tux" three times while staring into a mirror your daily driver turns up dual booted.
- Jesus, people, IF YOU LIKE A PIECE OF SOFTWARE, JUST BUY IT!
  
  But I can only buy whole software...
- bro careful especially if you're in EU, the CEO of the Linux company himself warned they will go after and bring people into court for using pirated copies
- I had a tux tattoo done, worked for me
  
  I'm not sure if you're being serious here or not, but I too have a tux tattoo. I knew at the time that it wasn't a unique idea, but I've never met anyone else who has one. There must be dozens of us.
  Do people also ask you if it's Pingu or something from club penguin?
- You have to go to settings and activate linux

One of my favourite GitHub shitposts!
- I love that it's also got build instructions for Windows and macOS
- I totally need to manually add that Fedora repo, layer it, reboot just to see if it works on KDE Wayland
  Exciting!

Shout out to my buddy who has been using an un-activated copy of Win10 for over 5 years despite being called out anytime he shares his screen.
And yes we told him how to but "It doesn't bother him"
- You mean, you told him the free and easy github script?
  
  Maaaaybe, Who's asking?
  
  Wait there's a free and easy GitHub script ? I bought an OEM key for 2 bucks like a sucker

Where can I get the privacy nightmare AI application for Linux? I want it to take screenshots of my computer (in case I want to search it), never really use it, but store the data on my PC unencrypted, thus able to be hacked.
- Microsoft Linux.
  
  I wonder if they'll add this to WSL...
- Someone made that, sort of. Unfortunately, the privacy nightmare is slightly reduced compared to the original one.

  The security nightmare is reduced by a lot, thanks to Linux being a lot more safe system. Of course the occasional very old security issues get found, but those are only old if some swifty hacker found out and didn't disclose it publicly, or had to wait for years to be solved.
  
  I tried it to do some research recalls, like set it up for doing very specific things and I found it filled my hard drive pretty fast with screenshots. It's probably a good idea if you can turn it on and off like this one and be careful, but it likely still needs polishing. That was when it was first out.
  
  Python? This will require “specialized hardware” just due to the interpreter overhead taking continuous screenshots of everything you do and indexing/storing them. Why bother implementing something like this using an interpreted language??
- Backups are important, especially passwords stored on images which is leagues more secure than plain text
- If this was actually an open source app with strong privacy settings that you could opt into it might be useful.
  
  When I first heard of the MS feature, my first thought was that there's gotta be a more efficient way to do this than taking screen shots and analyzing the image. The window manager has all of that information plus more context (like knowing that these pixels are part of a non-standard window that uses transparency to act like a non-rectangular shape, while this thing that looks like a window is actually an image because the user was looking at someone else's screenshot).
  Even better would be integration with the applications themselves; they have even more contextual information than the window manager has.

Ah yes, the Red Hat experience!
- Without RedHat, we wouldnt have Linux in the US governments, no SELinux, no Android security.
  I think there is worse than companies selling Linux
  
  I'll thank them when they stop remaking perfectly fine utilities over minor issues then doing a shitty job with compatibility.
  
  I generally agree with you, but wasn't SELinux primarily the NSA and Tresys? I know it's a primarily Red Hat thing now, but I think it would have existed in some form without them.
  It is entirely possible I'm misinformed.

Just Red Hat things

Distro: "Ubuntu with Bing"
- Did you mean Wubuntu ?
  
  UwUbuntu

Time to activate Linux with sketchy activation scripts
- Linux_activation_keygen_v0.1.2.4.exe
  
  The good old 2000s when you could host and successfully distribute any virus disguised as something popular by slapping a _full, _HD or .rar/zip (or any combination) at the end of the file name.
  I used to look up lard bread and there was a hit for lard bread_full.rar on the first page.
  
  it took three days but i finally got it on kazaa
- Just a one-liner as root, and you're done.
  
  Root account unavailable, you have not activated the premium account for this Linux installation, please activate by purchasing it for a $5 monthly subscription
  
  curl https://some.sketchy.link | bash my beloved
- Don't worry, Linux doesn't even mind at this point. ;)
- Do they at least have a fun shiny mid-2000's GUI and sweet chiptunes??
