Since i've been invoked: slides: https://conf.kde.org/system/attachments/45/original/spyware.pdf?1410020392 video: https://marc.info/?t=141082174200001&r=1&w=2 Bof notes at https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=141082156618052&w=2 Cheers, Albert > This got me thinking and with Neon I wanted to see how > many installs we had. Our package install software will check for new > versions being available and I could count the IPs of this check but > that's very unreliable. Canonical counts IPs from the NTP ping at > boot up but of course it's only useful at best as a relative metric of > numbers of installs not absolute numbers.

But currently I can't see how this can > violate users privacy any more than an IP address can so I'm curious > to hear what arguments might come up against this. > > Jonathan > _______________________________________________ > kde-community mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
