I too love some delicious irony but personally don’t see it in this case unless I disregard all context besides “their privacy policies have some of the same words”. It feels pretty different to me to compare software analytics to a thing like HN that can’t just exist offline on my PC. I know what I’m getting when I have to make network requests to read a web page, but Etcher only uses it to phone home private info like “I’m writing Ubluntu-13.37-Heavenly-Heifer.iso to a 16GB volume named ‘KINGSTON’ with serial number <whatever>”.

I see they show a "banner" with this url: https://www.balena.io/etcher/success-banner?borderTop=false&darkBackground=true https://www.balena.io/etcher/success-banner?borderTop=false&... show some featured apps: 'https://assets.balena.io/etcher-featured/index.html https://assets.balena.io/etcher-featured/index.html'
