gollark: At my school I discovered that they had keyloggers in place and detected some words you typed. By typing some stereotypical terroristy keywords into an empty document (not saving it, obviously). I explained that I had done it randomly and not really expected anything to happen and they just complained about how I had apparently wasted 45 minutes of people's time as they dealt with this grave issue.
gollark: windows good, linux bad
gollark: It can come shipped with a recipe book, and a browser extension to replace "meat" with "EVIL" or something.
gollark: What if we make a Linux distribution *for* vegans?
gollark: <@316638846207131648> Windows 10 is a *newer* version. That does not make it a *better* version.
