When Clive Owen's character in The Bourne Identity dies he says "LOOK WHAT THEY MAKE YOU GIVE" and I feel like that every time I get fucked by proprietary software

I understand your concerns about telemetry and privacy, but really what we should be talking about is my bonus

Install this kill remote kill switch in your systems, it's for your own good, it'll never be used
