    Yes. It’s all about transparency. I can see exactly what KDE is exporting, so I’m willing to help KDE. I cannot say the same for closed source software.

    No. Nothing against KDE I just want to minimise all information leaving my computer. If something is bothering me I try to change it myself or make a bug report or feature request.

      Yeah same here I got zero tolerance with spyware/telemetry and it’s one of the main reasons I switched to Linux in the first place.

      Do I believe KDE would misuse my data? Nope not really but it’s not something I want to promote no matter how anonymized the data is or how nicely they ask.

      Same rule goes for any project even ones I’ve donated money to.

        If you look at the data that KDE exports, there’s nothing that directly identifies you. That’s why I’m willing to help KDE. Like I said in my other post. It’s all about transparency.

    Yes, I like KDE and am happy to help. And I really like the fact that it shows an example of what data is being sent. If more software did this, I would be willing to do it more often.

    I put these slides to the max everywhere. There is one in dolphin and one in discover? I think? Wherever I see these, they’re going to the max.
