Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there’s a good argument the author’s concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

    Well, their “customisation” of Gnome with that ugly bar on the left side is still ugly as hell.

    And GCHQ isn’t also really trustworthy, with them being part of 5 Eyes

      That’s part of why I use Xubuntu/Kubuntu mainly and Lubuntu for real low end stuff. Straight vanilla Ubuntu is… not super appealing. Ubuntu server that’s just CLI/headless though, that’s pretty tits, imho.

        Ubuntu server is okay, but I’ve come to really appreciate a minimal, stable Debian install instead.

      That is just a customized version of Dash to Dock. You can move the dock on the bottom if you want or make it auto hide. The same functionality you can expect from Dash to dock but with the Ubuntu theme applied

        I don’t want it at all.
        But thanks for the Head Up that you can make this ugly thing go away
