I dislike emphasizing telemetry like this since, intentional or not, it implies all telemetry is equal. "Oh, well both Windows and Manjaro collect telemetry now, so one less reason to change"
- duxup 2y agoYeah it's a pain to dig into / debate the details (if you can), but they matter. Arguably I collect some "telemetry" with some products I work on. It's some very basic "anyone even really use this feature" stats that I would find difficult to narrow down to a user / and some "woah did this crash" type information. But that's nothing like some software...
- rightbyte 2y ago> "Oh, well both Windows and Manjaro collect telemetry now, so one less reason to change" It is one less reason to change from Windows to Manjaro... People that can't get such a simple thing as no "opt-out" spyware in the distro right can't be trusted.
- codedokode 2y agoAll telemetry that is enabled by default and requires action/configuration to disable is equally evil, no matter if it is collected by a commercial company or by non-commercial company. Telemetry must be opt-in only.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoSince almost everyone doing telemetry feels entitled to it, thus doesn't even try to convince or justify it to the users - yes, all telemetry is equal until proven otherwise.
