The new Java has telemetry. Oracle will be coming for you. One of the reasons we don't run it is so we don't send them telemetry from prod... Nor so that we have a risk of the telemetry send breaking prod.

- eitland 8y agoIt's not just telemetry. It's also social media. Online surveys. Everybody and your servers needs to keep mum about it or otherwise you'll get a call. You think I'm making this up? I've worked at two places where we were in contact with Oracle police because they thought we used (more of) their software.
