[Ubuntu-BR] [noticia] Fix Ubuntu

Sexta Novembro 8 21:53:45 UTC 2013

Pelo que me consta, no google, facebook e etc. é até pior. Vamos todos
instalar servidores caseiros movidos a distros que não instalam spyware????

Não é cinismo nem postura "é assim mesmo, vamos nos conformar". É enxergar
as coisas no tamanho que elas tem. É perfeitamente possível desabilitar o
recurso, o software é livre e auditável e sempre podemos mudar, caso não
desejemos o recurso (que com certeza é útil pra muita gente).
