Usually I agree but the maintainer of kitty is bonkers rude. There have been several issues concerning privacy and security regarding kitty. The responses of the maintainer regarding these very valid concerns made me switch to wezterm/sakura/foot in an instant.
He also accepts lots of PRs from contributers. Once you do this, it is no longer your project only.
An example PR (there are a few others equally concerning): https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/pull/3544 https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/pull/3544
- fileeditview 3y agoI see. I read the PR you linked and have to partially agree. Yes the maintainer's reaction was rude and seemed much like an overreaction. However the original comment could also be seen as offensive and lecturing. I don't want to defend phone-home mechanisms because I am personally not a fan but an update check really is different from surveillance. I in general agree with the comment that the feature should be opt-in but the argument was not presented in a good way.
- razemio 3y agoYes, you are right. I am also highly opinionated, when it comes to opt-out phone home functionality in terminal software. Just wanted to point out where some of the drama comes from and also make aware of possible consequences. I could imagine people are not opening security PRs or issues because of the maintainers attitude.
