> Inevitably, there will be users who, for whatever reason, don't want their usage of Fig to be personally tracked. Of course. It's your data and software on your device. You shouldn't even need a reason. We want to cater to these users. And we will. But unfortunately, we are so early on in the process of building Fig that we need to be able to speak to our users. De-anonymising telemetry for the time being while minimisng the events tracked enables us to do this in a non intrusive way. But it is of course not for everyone. Therefore, once we reach a critical mass of usage in the coming months, we will then anonymise all telemetry, making Fig more accessible.
It has been several months since this was written. Are they still collecting de-anonymized user data?
- Rygian 4y agoThat statement means that they have chosen, by design, to be unavailable in Europe. In Europe you must be able to prove that your software was designed from the ground up with enough safeguards for user privacy, as opposed to considering privacy requirements as a bolted-on afterthought.
- greggsy 4y agoThey would be able to argue that the data is anonymised.
- Cyph0n 4y agoI just installed it. You are presented with an option to disable telemetry once setup is complete in the form of a CLI command (fig settings telemetry.disabled true). But, for some reason, you can't disable it during setup. However, during setup, you need to "sign-up" by sharing your email - you can't skip this step as far as I could tell.
- metadat 4y agoCan you enter root@dev.null?
- Void_ 4y agoWouldn't `foo@example.com` be a better testing email.
- 867-5309 4y agohow about noth@n.ks and em@i.l
- mongol 4y agoexample.com is officially on a list of example domains that will never be allocated to real use.
- Voklen 4y agoI usually use e@e.e or if that fails e@e.com or if even that fails e@gmail.com
- jq-r 4y agoI use some-random-string@mailinator.com. So even they send you some activation link you just go there and click it. Very convenient page.
- pilif 4y agoYou can, but unless you own that address you won’t be able to use the app as you’re expected to type a code sent to the provided address
- j4yav 4y agoSounds strange, you can speak to your users even if you aren’t using telemetry.
- einpoklum 4y agoRemind me again why do they even need to send any telemetry, anywhere, ever?
