I wonder if there are technical issues here? It wouldn't be too surprising if "tweets are immutable" (and therefore safe to aggressively cache) is an assumption baked into a lot of their code.

Looks like VMWare from the tweet they linked.

Yep. In particular, any version of audacity from a Linux distro's package manager is likely already built with telemetry off.

If it’s anything but public domain, there’s probably at least a requirement for credit.

I have to imagine it's been done, at least with some stripped-down kernel+busybox situation. Not sure, though.

Even just having your face recorded (after which, if it turned out you were a hacker, it could go on wanted posters or whatever) might be a significant deterrent.

My understanding (from the work of marcan et al) is that the hardware's there, macOS just doesn't have the drivers. Is there something in the announcement that made you think this will never happen, or just a "if they were pl

Also, GPLv3 allows linking to AGPLv3 code; the AGPLv3, in the eyes of some, is a EULA.
