Oddbean new post about login | logout If your #freesoftware #opensource app asks me to choose if I want #telemetry on or off I will choose on (if the shared info is acceptable), if you have telemetry on by default or have it mandatory and I will not use your app at all.
@461d0168 I tend to avoid cr...apps myself, I prefer the finest, fully functional software. It's rare that I'm asked if I would like to be spied on and the answer is always no of course. Spyware functionality in free software is rare after all - and when it happens, someone always goes and takes it out and shares a fixed version.
