I like the Portal reference
Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will never offer you advice, as it cannot talk. In the event that XScreenSaver does talk, we ask you to ignore it’s advice. As we do with Google.
That was meeeeeee
That’s so fucking funny, dude really hates Google. XScreenSaver was released in 1992 fyi, and was once considered the pride and joy of Linux, being way cooler than other OS screensavers, and had a big community of ppl trying to make new trippy ones
I was surprised to learn recently that people are still making new screen savers for it.
The last bullet point might be the most impactful. Google should know the rules by now.
Google keeps letting us down, tho
Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will never run around and desert you.
Goddamnit
Simple. Effective. Unlike Google.
That was amazing. Wow. I mean, I knew that google was bad but, damn.

Edit: Jokes aside:
Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will never try to make WebP a thing.
Is WebP bad? If so, why?
That got me too… Webp is pretty sick actually
It’s created and backed by Google, so that’s no doubt Jamie’s main beef.
Also, when it first came out, most OSs didn’t have native support, so saving a webp locally, you could only open it via a browser, or you installed a non native image viewer, not unlike jpegs and gifs during Windows 95
Side note, I personally use nomacs as my default image viewer in Win10 - https://nomacs.org/
Toward the end it gets way more political and unhinged
I don’t disagree with him in many aspects but I also think he’s a hypocrite in many aspects so…It just led me to stop caring about whatever he does/says
They could just publish on F-droid. However, this person is seemingly unhinged.
It is on f-droid lol
It is on f-droid too. This isnt being “unhinged” its just calling out google for their hypocrisy and pointless "privacy” policies and citing lots of examples.
Whoaa I never expected to so see Xscreensaver mentioned in the privacy community. I’ve been enjoying the penrose screensaver for about five years now.
*Spends the next thirty minutes looking at all the screensavers
I don’t fully trust any app, and yet I think that this trend on privacy policy in app stores is pointless.
I just want to see (and tune) the sandbox options. Like, can I block this app from sending certain information to servers?
