> Can you point out where in the installation instructions I'd find out about this telemetry or do you seriously expect me to read every single piece of documentation this might be hidden in? I expect someone who cares about telemetry to search for it. It is well publicised, discussed, and available [1]. There is a telemetry warning when first using the tool. > Considering this was added after the initial release, do you expect me to re-read the documentation on every single update? No, but I would expect you to read the release announcements. [2] > Sorry, but even if your argument was correct, this just (deservedly) burns any good will I had with MS, which wasn't much but at least I used to have some for the .net team. So, regardless of correctness you would have been burned anyway. Microsoft even releases the telemetry gathered under a creative commons license [3]. You can opt out of this completely transparent and well documented option.

>No, but I would expect you to read the release announcements. [2] Yeah, well...where is it? https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/08/14/announcing-net-core-2-0/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/08/14/announcin... https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.0/2.0.0.md https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.0... Or do you seriously expect me to read every beta/RC release note of versions I won't ever use for elementary issues like this?

> I expect someone who cares about telemetry to search for it. It is well publicised, discussed, and available I missed it, maybe I was on holidays at the time or just missed the headline, unfortunately I'm quite fallible. > There is a telemetry warning when first using the tool. This is assuming it was run manually, by a user at the command prompt and that it wasn't buried in thousands of lines of output. Those are all false assumptions. If I set makeprg to "dotnet build" in vim for instance, I'm only going to see filtered output (compile errors). Visual studio and other tools will also hide a lot of the raw output. > No, but I would expect you to read the release announcements Silly me trusted them, lesson learned.

what is your issue? M$ fked up with telemetry again, pissed off bunch of users as apparent here, and your response is RTFM, although there is nothing about it in the M? ah yes, go over blogs and articles and everything on the internet, because this is how everybody works and things should be... get a grip, man
