I dunno who said it or in what context but I heard recently "If you cannot decide what your computer does and does not do, you do not own your computer." and I've been thinking about that a lot.

Sounds like something Torvalds would say but I can't remember

Sounds more Stallman than Torvalds to me.

Torvalds isn't ideological in that way, it doesn't seem like something he would say. He's usually on about how open source (the guy embraced the corporate-friendly rebranding) is/was instrumental in the success of the Linux project and that he personally likes working that way, i.e. from home, over email, in his own time.
