    Imagine voluntarily granting an advertising company direct access to your brain.

        Probably the drivers I’d want to try to maintain and get working the least.

        78 developers across the globe. No one can agree on direction and half drop out in 3 months to fork it. Several forks happen and they all fail, and a few survive but become mutually incompatible.

        You download a poorly tested update via brain apt-get and lose the ability to use the letter k.

        A successful fork takes off and everyone uses it but then IBM buys it. Now big blue owns your brain and charges insane licenses fees.

          You forgot to pay your subscription, and wake up blind. Your eyes have been deactivated until you bring your account current.

      I don’t feel like advertisements in general are that much different. Constant assault, every medium, weaponized brain washing. I bet that given a cue you could perfectly hum the tunes of at least a hundred or so jingles that you weren’t aware of infesting you brain.
