    No. Nothing against KDE I just want to minimise all information leaving my computer. If something is bothering me I try to change it myself or make a bug report or feature request.

      Same, I report crashes, but regular telemetry is rather not

        At least it’s a slider, so it’s not just “everything or nothing”.

      Yeah same here I got zero tolerance with spyware/telemetry and it’s one of the main reasons I switched to Linux in the first place.

      Do I believe KDE would misuse my data? Nope not really but it’s not something I want to promote no matter how anonymized the data is or how nicely they ask.

      Same rule goes for any project even ones I’ve donated money to.

        If you look at the data that KDE exports, there’s nothing that directly identifies you. That’s why I’m willing to help KDE. Like I said in my other post. It’s all about transparency.
