--- Comment #13 from Harald Sitter <[email protected]> --- > What about the ones that need to avoid it, but are not able to build and > setup their own KDE? If someone doesn't trust the KDE community enough to not abuse the telemetry library but does trusts the KDE community enough to rely on supplied binaries then that is, I believe, called cognitive dissonance. You cannot have it both ways. It's really very simple. We promise that we are trustworthy. You can choose to believe that or not. If you do not trust us but insist on wanting to use our software then the only conclusion is that you must review all our source code before building it yourself or ensure your distribution actually built the very same source you reviewed - otherwise any number of devious spy features could get sneaked into either the source or the binaries and you'd be none the wiser. If one was having sinister plans then one doesn't need to make a library and one most certainly wouldn't need to tell the users about it. The fact that we are incredibly open and transparent on the entire telemetry business and the fact that you have to explicitly opt in should already tell you that there's no malice on our mind. Meanwhile you seem to be coming from a position of bad faith when you suggest that telemetry cannot be turned off unless you uninstall the binary package, or indeed that we'd somehow lie to you about how kuserfeedback behaves or that we are not sincere when we say that we take our users' privacy seriously. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
