>Yeah, an offline audio editing program should not phone home in any way without advance consent.
Why?
Isn't your decision to run this software some kind of consent to let it perform its basic stuff?
- bigiain 5y agoI guess the question is - is online telemetry and crash reporting reasonable considered and expected to "it's stuff" for an offline audio editing program? And if so, how far down that slope is it reasonable to go before trying to claim that crypto-mining is also an essential part of off line audio editing software?
- tester756 5y agoFirst off - I don't divide programs into "online" "offline", because what's the point? It's not like program will stop working when it tries to send crash report without internet connection (if handled correctly). >I guess the question is - is online telemetry and crash reporting reasonable considered and expected to "it's stuff" for an offline audio editing program? For me - yes. Yes, I do consider crash report as a part of software maintenance efforts and I have nothing against sending critical data e.g at which place it crashed & e.g basic informations like OS, Hardware, GPU/Sound drivers version.
