I 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
- ushakov 4y agoas far as i remember you couldn't actually disable telemetry they still send a daily ping
- mschrage 4y agoThis is incorrect. If you opt-out, no telemetry events are sent at all.
- hdjjhhvvhga 4y agoHave you checked this, i.e. checked your network traffic for 24 hours after installing and registering Fig?

We currently give the you option to opt out of all non-essential telemetry by running `fig settings app.disableTelemetry true`. This removes everything except for one daily ping. We use this ping to help us understand how many people were using Fig.
- noitpmeder 4y agomschrage (the author of the comment you're responding to) seems to have a personal affiliation with the project. If you assume he's contributing here in good faith (my assumption) then I'd say it's safe to say that it does in fact disable telemetry.
