- taneliv 6mo agoThanks for pointing this out, to me it seems quite a good response. I wouldn't mind opt-in telemetry, but possibly the participation rate would be too low to make use of it.
- stavros 6mo agoMy issue with telemetry is that 99% of software ends up not using it. Why have it? And definitely don't have it by default. Your users will come tell you what they want, making telemetry useless, especially when it's an OSS project you're mostly building for yourself.
- rob74 6mo agoExcept that telemetry can give you more complete (and foolproof) information than what users report. But yeah, that could also be solved by having debug info that users can attach to their report, the app doesn't have to "call home" for that...
- stavros 6mo agoI agree, but it's a cost/benefit thing. Most OSS projects aren't big enough to do anything with the telemetry, so you're just paying in goodwill for no reason.
- kgwxd 6mo agoOpt-in via extension, fine. Opt-in via flag, unreliable. The spyware code should never be anywhere near the main codebase.
- tosti 6mo agoYay! Also, I hadn't noticed an entire section about building from source. Sorry about that. Good work!
- blamesoft 6mo agoWoo, good on them
- Habgdnv 6mo agoI just woke up this morning and I am amazed. I am taking all my nasty words back and I starred the project and followed the author who reacted so fast to my dull negative feedback and this reaction shows how much he cares about the project.
