This is FUD. No it doesn't speak volumes _at all_. The telemtry is opt-in, with various levels of settings, and doesn't collect _anything personal_. Even it's most invasive setting collects very very basic information. And again, is opt-in.
Also, it's open source. You can see the code and what it does. Which is close to 0.
- ananiochita 4y agoI wrote myself that it is opt-in, and several times, don't make it sound like I'm screaming to avoid KDE or saying something that isn't true. The packages are not easily removed, and this is not reasonable or justifiable. Why must it be there even if it will be off ? If I don't use or want something in Linux, and the system does not depend on it, it's usually a matter of seconds to remove it. Why is Plasma ( or Kate etc ) depending on telemetry to be there, even if not used ? Regardless of being open source and auditable this is not a good policy.
