How do I both install it and keep it from sending who knows what to Microsoft? I can't convince anyone to drop it since we've been using it pre-buyout. Pic unrelated.

Also, why is it so hard to maintain a fascmile of privacy online? Don't use proprietary OS, don't use chat software (or at the very least block it from all sorts of stuff on your computer if you do) Disable cookies, don't use Google, don't use Bing, don't have an Xbone, don't have a cell phone.

Why can't companies just not do the shit?

It's breaking for me, though I'm not sure why. Likely set my browser cookie allowance (Ask) and reflexively clicked no.

Or run it in a Windows VM then? (its a Microsoft botnet just like Skype, so it doesnt matter)

Why was skype-restricted removed from the Aur?
