I don't want any program on my computer including the OS to make any network calls whatsoever unless they're directly associated with executing GUI/CLI interact

I don't want any program on my computer including the OS to make any network calls whatsoever unless they're directly associated with executing GUI/CLI interactions I have currently undertaken as the user. Any exception should be opt-in. IMHO the entire Overton window of these remote communications is in the wrong place.

  It's industry standard for porn stars to get fucked on camera. But I'm not a porn star, and I don't want to be fucked on camera. Handwaving away this abuse of privacy by saying "everyone does it because it makes money" is a gross justification.

    same reason you apply at porn stars analogy no one force you to use these tools, you can use another tools that suit your needs if you read terms of service and privacy policy then you agree to it because you use it then company have right too

      No one is forcing anyone to use Trae. But the telemetry settings not working and the actions of the Trae moderators to quash any discussion of the telemetry is extremely concerning. People should be able to make informed decisions about the programs they are using, and the Trae developers don't seem to agree.

      To further the analogy, sex may be an industry, but not everyone who participates does so comercially. Some who do so comercially may not want to be filmed.

  The industry is in a rather sorry state right now though. We can, and should, do better.

  > Yeah but this is industry standard we don't have to accept it. but people say "it's just how we do it" and suddenly people just accept it. i really feel like our society is going to collapse soon, if it hasn't already begun to. the amount of total crap that people are put through just so that ads can be more targeted to users. we are creating a hellscape for privacy and freedom just so people click on ads. it is pure and complete insanity, and no one cares.

  Because software is a tool. It serves the user and only the user, and no one else. Ideally, a device I own should never act in anyone else's interests.

  Because we should be in control of our software not the other way around
