  • You do you, of course. But, I think that combining the approach of immutable distros to either case would be a great way to add some security. Even if nothing is ever 100% safe, this would be very robust. Or, even without an immutable distro you can do Qubes or just any sandboxing (e.g. bubblewrap) to open documents and files.

    In any case, being paranoid certainly is an elegant sport. Perhaps even more than golfing (:







  • As for actual kernel anticheat software siphoning out data, again, it’s something that we should not immediatly dismiss… The lack of evidence is not entirely on either side of this sudden ‘you vs. me’

    Acxiom does sell a package of “Gaming” data. Probably coming from mobile phones for the most part, since that’s where most Studios are more aggressive (even towards children, see Tilting Point Media LLC settlement last year)

    Again, knowing which Studios are selling data (identifiable or not) is impossible if no Court interferes.

    I was only trying to make the point that it is feasible… That’s why I referred you to recall that “capitalism bad yadda yadda…”
