This is a really weird question. If it's not prohibited, why shouldn't you be allowed to do something by default? Isn't that a basic thing in all(?) legal systems?


I don't know if this is a rhetorical question or strongly held belief on your part, but this kind of thinking is what has led to such a grotesque invasion of personal privacy via trackers and other data gathering techniques the last few years.

I bet you're using GNU time rather than BSD time.

It did seem odd to me that the author didn't bother to mention which OS he is using, though from the hostname I have a pretty good guess.


Same on Debian Stretch
