Thanks for sharing about KDE. Has anyone filed a bug report about that
concern?
> Why does the running of “akonadictl stop” via cron initiate outgoing
traffic to a remote site?
I really don't know why it is necessary to stop akonadi every 6 minutes at
all. On my system it is stopped:
[~]: akonadictl status
Akonadi Control: stopped
Akonadi Server: stopped
Akonadi Server Search Support: available (Remote Search)
Available Agent Types:...
Also without any network application started I don't see any packets in
tcpdump. So it doesn't look like KDE itself is breaking into user privacy.
Feel free to correct me if I am missing something.
You could probably also have a look at:

Another set of "features" I guess...

I have expressed the same concerns multiple times.
