Good call on the Fedora KDE devs, but if the Telemetry proposal is approved, I will never even consider any Fedora spin again.

telemetry as a whole isn’t bad. it depends what they are collecting. companies should provide a log of the (raw) telemetry data they’ve collected from you. if they’re not comfortable sharing it it’s probably too invasive.

I love how Syncthing handle this - they show you a link to a dashboard of what they collect. I opted in because of that.

I understand the fear of the word “telemetry” thanks to MS, google and others… But it is not all bad. If they show me what they collect, I’m ok with that. Good and honest telemetry is good actually.

I understand, but maybe I’m not. And opt-out telemetry, while I understand their arguments, is not something I agree with.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
