Through pushing through user antagonistic changes completely at odds with users wants and hoping people are pliable enough to forget all about trying to be screwed so you can bide time until the next at attempt to screw users?
Well, that’s the vibe I’m getting from you. I naively assumed open source was based on trust, shared effort and contributions to benefit users so they can install software on their machine that they know is reliable/trustworthy and privacy focussed because anyone can scrutinise it. Silly me.
They tried to add in opt out telemetry in. A few forks were created as a result.
it was never opt-out, it was always planned to be opt-in
I think originally it was the other way and many distros use a compiler flag to stop it being opt out.
the code was never even merged; that’s definitely not true
So they raised a PR with the intention to do this?
Are you saying the only reason they backtracked is because users weren’t happy?
How do you think open-source development works?
