Reminds me of a 10-15 year old post on Ubuntu forums, loudly proclaiming that no one will ever need an outbound firewall on Linux. How quickly circumstances change.

- mixmastamyk 1y agoThese days lots of (younger?) developers see nothing wrong with invasive telemetry collection, knowing no other world. Sometimes sketchy companies buy a project outright, desiring “monetization.” Merely using FLOSS software is no longer a complete solution—firewalls and other sandboxes are needed to enforce the user’s wishes. Why they’re built into flatpak etc. Reputable distros are trustworthy but might overlook something occasionally.
