    I like the Portal reference

    Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will never offer you advice, as it cannot talk. In the event that XScreenSaver does talk, we ask you to ignore it’s advice. As we do with Google.

    That’s so fucking funny, dude really hates Google. XScreenSaver was released in 1992 fyi, and was once considered the pride and joy of Linux, being way cooler than other OS screensavers, and had a big community of ppl trying to make new trippy ones

      I was surprised to learn recently that people are still making new screen savers for it.

    The last bullet point might be the most impactful. Google should know the rules by now.

    Whoaa I never expected to so see Xscreensaver mentioned in the privacy community. I’ve been enjoying the penrose screensaver for about five years now.

    *Spends the next thirty minutes looking at all the screensavers

      It is on f-droid too. This isnt being “unhinged” its just calling out google for their hypocrisy and pointless "privacy” policies and citing lots of examples.
