who would even want to use homebrew on linux

like bruh every package manager is better than brew

probably even apt

@vaartis the debian maintainers patch out the phone-home in most apps they distribute. homebrew has nonconsensual spyware built in that phones home to google every app you install.

@sneak that may be true, but i'm talking about apt in general. ubuntu also uses it and it has spyware enabled by default too i think. thing is, apt is, compared to brew, fast. and has a lot more packages. and not written in goddamn ruby.

@vaartis homebrew doesn't suck because it's written in ruby, it sucks because it's written by the homebrew maintainers. they don't give a fuck about privacy or free software.

(what spyware is enabled by default in ubuntu?)

@sneak apparently GNU has a whole page about it

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware.en.html

however >Since Ubuntu version 16.04, the spyware search facility is now disabled by default

@vaartis so it's five years from being relevant... sounds like GNU
