Mike,
I'm just saying that you're putting yourself on risky ground, not that I want to do something personally.
In fact I'd even consider keeping GA enabled IF BEING NOTIFIED.
The current notification is the problem, as it is close to invisble. Hiding output in a long log message is a dark pattern, I think it did not happen out of spite (you just used your normal shell output mechanism to show that).
However: Such a chage of policy is more important than the list of files being removed by git. Even opt out is OK IF THE USER IS INFORMED.
Currently it's like arthur dent being informed about the highway being built ... yeah we did display the notice.
I know building an open source project is no fun and I can really relate to your desire to know more about installations and deinstallations. Personally I don't even object to using google GA, just to the way it feels being snuck beside the radar.
- mikemcquaid 10y agoYou were notified, I'm sorry if it was not as clear as it could have been. We're always open to PRs to improve the visibility. That said, I still don't appreciate threats or ideas to sue me as an individual. That's a massively disproportionate threat to me and my family.
- josegonzalez 10y ago> Looking at the website one of homebrew's developers (or at least the website developers) is based over here in Europe. He might be a nice target if you want to raise a stink and litigate. This certainly sounds like you're advocating for people to - at the very least - harass him.
