Did you even read it?
Some guy sent an email to the mailing list suggesting that could collect stats on whether Fedora runs on spinning rust anymore and if people struggle to find settings.
It’s a proposal, no one has even voted of whether it’s a good idea. And the suggestions also involve you running your own telemetry server instead of using Fedoras so you can see what sort of software is more popular in your organisation.
You are reading far too much into a project that doesn’t have to accept anything that Red Hat suggests.
Fair point, thank you.
Sorry, upon reflection that seemed quite strong. However the reason the suggestion for opt-out rather than opt-in is you end up with a self selected group which is basically worthless. The proposal isn’t to hide the opt-out, and in fact have it as part of the setup flow but they are trying to gather useful information.
This isn’t like Microsoft who will send telemetry data back home before giving you the chance to fully remove all telemetry, or Ubuntu sending data to Amazon before you get to uninstall the Amazon lense, or whatever they are doing these days.
They will respect your decision. If not then we can always just leave.
Fair point. I guess it’s easy to overreact to these things since we are all tired of not being respected privacy-wise.
