You're right. I forgot to inlude my usual disclaimer for alternativeto.net that
users should check the license themselves before installing and avoid having to
enable JavaScript to filter by license by appending '?license=opensource' to
the URL.
And there was me thinking you'd just sent me a really sweet private email!
lol :D
Thank you for the link. I know in principle how to install MATE (through
apt-get, after maybe installing a PPA!) but I usually avoid installing more

One thing that I find hilarious: Facebook may take and reuse all your
multimedia that you publish there, but Facebook's terms of service says
that you are only allowed to publish things that have you as the only

Facebook uses its psychological profile of you to determine what information to
display at what time in order to addict you. As a side effect, you may find
much of the information interesting. However,
It seems to me you expect from people here to tell you how to talk to your
family so that they listen to you and stop using Facebook.

Yes, you have argued that because it is impossible to be 100% certain that a
piece of software is privacy-respecting, we cannot trust free software to
respect our privacy. This in itself is sound, if

This is incorrect. I don't mistrust a particular group of people. I question

So long as you're mindful about the licensing of plugins you install then you
should be fine.
