    When it comes to Foss projects I would gladly give away my data for improvement of the project.

      And what improvements could come from incompetent fucks knowing your hostname, mac adress, and other identifying information? Aside from improving their financial status that is…

      It’s opt out

        Personally I don’t really mind opt out unless the choice isn’t clearly presented to people for them to decide.

        Like if during installation one of the steps is “share anonymized data” and the switch is in the on position by default, I really don’t mind that. Usage data is massively helpful from a UI/UX perspective and in terms of user testing, doubly so for open source projects without as much resources for doing that kind of testing otherwise.

        But if it’s burried in a settings pannel somewhere, that sucks and doesn’t respect user agency

        Thats how I feel anyway 🤷‍♂️
