- LargoLasskhyfv 1y agoWhat exactly do you mean by 'telemetry'? A simple check for updates? Which can be opted out of? Reading the comments of the author there, this seems to be a big nothingburger.
- alt187 1y agoKitty phones home, providing information to the server. His insistence to keep this opt-out instead of opt-in, and abrasiveness towards whoever points this antifeature of Kitty out makes it all the more suspicious for me. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/pull/3544 https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/pull/3544
- LargoLasskhyfv 1y agoThere are other terminal emulators, implementing the kitty graphics protocol. So your vendor lock in concern is moot, since there is more than a single vendor.
- sph 1y agoThis is off topic flame bait. Yes, that is a concern, but this is a post about Emacs as a TUI, and sidetracking it to discuss a hot topic about another piece of software is concern trolling.
