This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Download video game for free

Default search engine DOESN'T change because I was using the Free and Open Source™ operating system, GNU/Linux

Or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux + Dogpile + AltaVista + AOL

Before you paid for "free" software with your data, you used to pay by agreeing to install a search bar in your browser. Usually you just uninstalled it directly afterwards. Not this guy though.

This kind of thing is what got me into actually reading install wizards instead of clicking next, next, agree, next, yes, install, finish. I learned I could just uncheck those agree/install boxes and still install the software I actually wanted without all the extra crap. That's one trend from the 00s and early 10s I do not miss.
