- jodrellblank 4y agoFree disk space can be as low as zero, but we don't blame the tool makers for adding an extra 100Kb or 20MB, we blame the computer owner for not having enough disk space to install the thing they chose. Wrapper scripts for every utility to do UTIL_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT=1 util ... so they don't need to be set all at once.
