Opt-out telemetry is the only useful kind of telemetry
- burnt-resistor 1y agoNot useful to me or most users. See, other people besides you have different values like privacy and consent.
- salawat 1y agoForces me to fork your shit and remove privacy invasive parts. Consider my computer my home, and your telemetry a camera or microphone you're adding to my place. If you don't ask me for permission first I have no reason to trust you will maintain any semblance of integrity in the long run.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoYes, it's the approach and principle of the interaction. If {{software}} asked to opt-in to collect anonymized/generic information, for what purpose(s), and how it was being stored/anonymized to "vote" for feature use/maintenance and how it was definitely not going being used, like not being sold to data-brokers, then I might say "yes". Opt-out shows disrespect and that {{user}} is the product.
- matheusmoreira 1y agoThe usefulness is completely irrelevant. We do not want any data exfiltration to take place under any circumstances and for any purpose whatsoever. We couldn't care less how much money it costs them.
